7.7 on waking, always a bit later than at home but also diet gone to "rats doo dah." Fantastic weather @PenguinMum here in Majorca. Temperature not quite as hot here as it has apparently been in UK at home. I am not jealous because at home I do not have a swimming pool, sunbed or bar so happy to slob out and leave the paint brush , lawnmower and grand children a few thousand miles away.
What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

10.5 after visit to loo
Don't think I'm ever going to be able to test in bed as my fingers need hefty assistance from gravity to bleed. Has anyone managed to fingerprick lying down? Will ask diabetes nurse eventually but she has probably never even thought of it.

not had an issue laying down other than anxiety over the fingerprick itself , bathroom to wash hands in warm water for a couple of mins, or holding a nice warm coffee on the odd occassion lucky enough to have breakfast in bed

That's good to know. Does the getting up, walking and hand soaking affect your numbers much? I was told to test "first thing" which I took to mean before getting out of bed.
Before breakfast is fine imo. I'm basing that on the booklet to record results in. Before breakfast, before mid-day meal, before evening meal and 2 hours after each alongside bedtime I'm type1 (apparentl). My mum type2 just filled meals and wasn't asked 2 hours after. She was type2 insulin dependant if under 6 in the evening was told to eat something she started experiencing hypos with any blood glucose under 5

6.5 this morning.
Sorry to hear you are struggling. Hoping things start to improve for you soon. I think my issue might be the amount of weight I have put on this Winter. Up 2 dress sizes. If I can do a reset and lose some of it, I think things will be ok. Hoping so anyway.

Thanks @Ryhia for some reason I thought I would breeze back into the 4s and 5s again after ignoring it for a few years well I'm determined to plod along low carb and hopefully get back there.im sure the gout thingy has raised things a bit not so bad today I had a better 6.6 at 0500 and a 5.7 at 1700 hrs.
