What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

[ChrisT2]

When we’ve been abroad omelettes are made with powdered eggs, better off sticking to fried eggs, worth trying

Thanks for the advice but fortunately the chef makes a great flamboyant display of preparing and cooking the omelette mix with freshly cracked eggs and milk to order. However the only suspicious ingredients are the cooking oil and maybe milk, I never put milk in my own omelettes, just eggs so suspect that may be the culprit.
However despite the poor start, the whole day continues on a trend of bad choices of which I am totally to blame but more than happy to accept if it means enjoying a late holiday. Obviously I could avoid many of the offerings and starve myself but we have to live life and I know that back home things will be different.
In a way it just goes to show how harmful my life was before taking notice of carbs and their effect on BS and it also shows how even a minor "falling off the wagon" has a rapid effect on readings. Good luck to all in your own challenges.

Yesterday I drove from the east coast of England where I live across country to Swansea in order to see bob dylan tonight.

I’d packed a dozen boiled eggs some amazing jars of roasted peppers in virgin olive oil and some cheeses which made a fabulous non glucose spike lunch

However on arrival in Swansea I was tempted and succumbed to two glasses of red wine and an Indian meal. Of course I avoided the rice, the papadum , all of the obvious carby stuff etc.

Due to the true wonders of the libre I noted as my glucose levels rise from five to just over seven where they stayed for more than twelve hours.


The last time I ate at an Indian restaurant was pre diagnosis , ten years ago !

How was the concert I used to be fan of his music ?

7.2 at 5am and 7.1 just now. Bit of upheaval yesterday and I ate 2 Cadburys Hero's yesterday to compensate! There was method to the madness at the time

In answer to mojo37


One massive collection of old stuff , cut up and reassembled , reimagined and collaged into something almost unrecognisable. Something new .

2 solid hours of music with not one word of introduction or explanation . No hello , no good bye.

No cameras or phones were allowed in the venue.


Just music
