Like all of us you've had setbacks before and come back stronger. From what you've posted over a few months that A1c is reflective of a good result due to hard work after a tough time. Take stock of how far you've come since DX, where you would be without all your recent hard work, shake yourself off and in time go again. Everybody hurts, sometimes, but you are a resilient lady. Take care but don't beat yourself up. Take your time, process things accurately but stick in there. There is so much love and goodwill for you here. You're one of our own. :D

Really didn’t want to post this one.

Before Bed Fingerprick 6.9 Libre 6.0

FBG Fingerprick 10.5 Libre 10.2

For the cluedo fans out there was it “the ever so tasty pesto penne at the italian restaurant with the delayed glucose spike due to too much olive oil and cheese or was it “the slowly brewing cold probably caught off a workmate”?

7.6.
Thank you all for hugs and encouragement.
I know we all have each others’ best interests at heart, here.
I am getting closer to finding reasons for my hard to control BG levels. It isn’t what I am eating or drinking. When I have more info I will start a thread, so as not to derail this one. That would not be allowed, and I would have to report my own posts. ;):hilarious: And face the consequences.

There's an off colour joke in there but we won't go there. That L word, Hubby and Staycation really grind my gears - does that make me a bad person? 5.2 eyes of blue here - well, blue/grey actually. Would today's Sicilian stuffed chicken be **** ambrosial/succulent/delicious/luscious? - the butcher made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

FBG 7.8 this Saturday morning. That’s what last night’s homemade butter chicken does for me, I guess. Totally lush*! And I thickened it with cashews & had konjac rice so it wasn’t entirely naughty. Just not helpful to the current task.

Note to self: must try harder.

*delicious/delightful/delectable etc (delete as preferred)
