Hi, I am going to start posting in here as I like the extra chat option.

5.3 on my second test (half an hour later) as the first was 4.3!!

Something weird keeps happening with my morning readings. I usually wake up, pee, wash hands and take my readings and up until now they have been in the 5s and 6s. But a few times in the last week, my readings have been in the 4s, but if I wait and retest, they are back in the 5s and 6s. It seems my dawn phenomenon is taking its time to get going all of a sudden. Is that normal, have I turned into a sloth?

Cheese and Tories,
I forgot to check this morning but I did get an email with my blood results from last week and my Hba1c is now 35. Had a meal deal for lunch, chicken pasta main and two eggs as the snack. Just done a 2hrs later test and 8.3 but I didn't test beforehand so I don't know how much of a spike it is. I still have my cold/flu so it'll be a bit higher due to that.

Morning all. Got my A1c result. Gone up to 58 from 51, so the nurse wants to see me. Had 2 blood tests to check. Bit (a lot) disappointed in myself. I fell off the diabetic wagon good and proper so have only myself to blame.So it's start again time. Have a lovely weekend folks :)

Rosemary don’t be hard on yourself you have had a lot of challenges not least the nasty fall. You defo can get back to lower numbers next time. I hope your DN allows you space to tackle it. If only life went in a straight line but it just doesn’t. Sending best wishes.
Did I say my FBG today is 7.1.

As @PenguinMum has said don’t be hard on yourself, it’s only a little jump and at least you know low carb works ;)

There's nothing like a sudden injury to push up BG readings, but that's water under the bridge now. You'll soon be back to winning numbers.
