Excuse my ignorance but what is Durian??
My children say I'm not in touch with things evidently I'm not! K

Durian is a delicious exotic fruit from south east Asia/ Far East.

It smells awful like smelly socks but tastes delicious like sweet cheese!

Please type durian on google!

Enjoy!
 
Mine was 8.6 this morning, slightly lower than yesterday but disappointed it wasn't lower as I was very good with my choices. Oh well, I'll stick with it and see what happens.
@TiggerB it takes time for the BG to drop your at the beginning of your diabetic journey don't be disappointed just keep going and you will see them drop! K
 
Hope you get what you wish for! K
 
@Troubled1 Have you seen a doctor it seems to be lingering with you? Do hope it's not lingering long! Regards Kathleen
 
@Contralto Think I'm now quite glad I'm a little ingnorant about some things!K thanks
 
@JohnEGreen and philchap1 your both quite low with your BG readings are you ok at these levels, I'd be shaking and feeling quite disoriented! K

Felt a bit woozy and woke up with head ache Had some carbs and felt better after a while I do not enjoy being quite that low.

Judith was a bit concerned as I was tottering around a bit unsteady on my feet.

And don't know why my sugars have dropped so dramatically over the past few days am actually hoping to be back in the fives again soon.

@Granny_grump_ I saw my Dr yesterday for my blood work review. He checked my temp which was slightly elevated but wasn’t too concerned. He suggested a laxative so I’m trying that out. Aside from my elevated cholesterol, he seemed happy with my blood work and overall health.
