prior to being diagnosed I would be enjoying copious amounts if Bailey's with ice on such an occasion but you can't win em all!!!
6.2 and thrilled. Since I've had my latest hba1c results this week ive done a couple of tests and last night was one of them. I usually have a kebab no pitta bread on a Saturday but there is always such a long queue as very popular I decided to cook. Time was of the essence as putting up lots of Xmas decs. Never been up in November before but when you can't wait because you have an adorable 2 year old grandaughter needs must. So i made spaghetti with a stilton, cream, white wine, mushroom, ham and garlic sauce. My first taste of pasta in what seems an eternity. I hadn't done anything special with the pasta to reduce carb impact ie cook and freeze. I didn't over do my portion size but it filled the bottom of my bowl. And here are the results. I tested many times as it was an experiment.
7 pm = 6.0
9pm = 6.8
9.30pm = 5.9
10pm = 6.5
10.30pm = 7
11pm = 6.6
I was delighted with the readings. And I savoured every mouthful of my dinner. It really was delicious. I did feel a little apprehensive during the experiment but the large glass of red wine I found settled any nerves.
The decs look amazing. I always get a warm toastie feeling when the tree is finished. It's beautiful. Hubby does it and he has a flair.
Hope everyone gets good fbs readings today. Have a good day whatever you are doing.
I was taken aback to be honest.That’s good news, maybe your body has decided to stop giving you a hard time, or your liver was busy with the wine, either way it’s good

I needed to check on the beef which had been cooking on 60 overnight ready for Sunday lunch. The smell was a constant source of teasing for the dogs. 1 granddaughter was awake and there was cricket to watch. If we can find the space we will get the 2 oldest to decorate the tree and put out the Christmas train sets etc.
Saskia that made me laugh...exactly how I was a couple of nights ago...occasionally it won't do any damage.@Bubbsie they say misery loves company so maybe mischievousness loves company too. I was given a packet of sugar-free chocolate cookies last night, serving size 1 cookie (12g carbs). I ate 3 last night and put 2 in the freezer.
So of course this morning I got those 2 back out and dunked them in my morning coffee.
I'm glad I'm not the only one enjoying forbidden foods this weekend!
I did test after the cookies last night. 6 before, 7.2 after. The rest of the cookies went out in the garbage last night.
Hope you are ok
Do you eat a lot of protein? I find it raises my blood glucose later on.
I wouldn't say so - I think I may nee to eat more actually. To be fair I have stopped fully analysing the macros but I may have to start again
