Group 7-day waking average?

4.4 after jelly babies this morning.

I’m braving the supermarket 1st time in a while. Thought as it’s 1/2 term I’d give hubby a week off ....... plus I need to get what we actually need as we’re running out of things !

Good luck @Bexlee. I went yesterday, it was empty (of people, not food)
 
Good afternoon all, another late check in from me - 5.8 this morning, couldn't be happier with that. Having my vaccination tomorrow, so all is good :D

Have a great day everyone 🙂
 
@karelizco welcome to the forum. Those figures look good to me too. Definitely test as you are new to this. Do it just before eating and then 2 hours after and there should be hopefully no more than a 2-3 rise. If it is higher than this then something that you have had does not suit you. It is then for you to find out what has raised your bg. On the other hand you may be pleasantly surprised to find there are things that don’t affect your bg, for me it is potatoes, I don’t have a big rise eating them, but rice and pasta is another story. Any questions just ask and let us know how you get on x
Hi Sue, thank you so much for your encouragment, this is really helpful and yes for the next week I am going to do pre and post meal checks. Thank you and I am hopeful!
 
@Anitram good luck on the cheese hunt, did you actually check that specific store online? As just because it's on the website doesn't mean that store carries it, if either of you have Facebook you can message Tesco and Little Helper appears where you can check specific stores to see if they stock a certain item xx
 
Short, sweet and to the point. PS do you really look like that lol x
No don't be daft, my hair is a little shorter 😉
 
Thanks for the tip. Being a social media virgin I wouldn't know where to start but my wife is on Facebook so I can ask her.

Tesco had the cheese (Black Pepper Boursin) and I stocked up on ALDI nut bars on the way back.

Have stopped going to Aldi/Lidl because I go in to buy some veg but end up coming back loads of tools I don't need, dam those middle isles. Mind you last time I got a great electric toothbrush and some clamps and some heat shrink tubes, I want to go now.
 
Morning

Congratulations on the HS @rebrascora , you'd never know we'd had awful snow it's all gone now but not surprised really after the rain we've had the last couple of days! Dry at the moment though

Things are difficult at the moment, facing really stressful times, family relationship breaking down it seems as well, afternoons are just filled with anger and silence, makes the atmosphere very uncomfortable on top of the already uncomfortable feeling I go through at those times

Anyway, 6.0 for me after 4 digestives last night
xx
So sorry to hear this . You have offered everyone on here so much support , it is appreciated x

Thank you, you actually have no idea what that means to me xx
 
Evening all, I'm on the last, bringing up the rear... 6.3 @ 5.16am which seems a very long time ago now.

Thank you Sue. I've finally seen the light! Actually I just couldn't stand feeling so bad, I was proper miserable and I don't want to be evangelical about low carb as I know it's YMMV but it's always been a miracle for me if I could only stick to that way of eating as all my ills immediately get better. The lower bg readings are a good side effect as it's my other symptoms that I was avid to try and clear up a bit and they are much improved. I am determined to get to 8stones this year as well which is a bit daft at this late stage as that horrible lady doctor frightened the wits out of me saying I won't be able to eat very soon anyways but I just want to do it before I look like a skelly whatever I do. :D I will never go to that doctor again. Whatever happened to 'first do no harm' 😳 Bet you're sorry you said anything now. :D
 
Good morning - the German for 'no' - 9

There are a few other German words I could use this morning directed at the site. It would not let me in at all even though I kept putting in the correct password. Had to change it. Grrr. Don't mess with me until I have had my morning cuppa.
 
05:25 BS 5.3 🙂

Yesterday went very well & apart from after breakfast all readings were in range: definitely right not to correct the BS 12.2 at 04:32 as at 06:45 it had dropped to BS 5.3; it’s a good thing I know, roughly, my patterns now when I reduce doses! It’s like a delayed action! 🙄

Aww! Watched the last episode of Death in Paradise last night & left on an emotional cliffhanger: WILL Neville tell the truth or will he chicken out? 🙄 Also, saw the last 2 episodes of Celebrity Best Home Cook yesterday & I’m very pleased with the worthy winner; won’t say who in case you intend watching & haven’t yet!😛😎🙂

Last night was very stormy, again, & the wind is still howling now: wifi was quite patchy; playing havoc with my playing of the opening round of the Winter Major golf tournament & it affected my scoring quite badly! :( Don’t know if I can make the final? 🙄o_O That’s me saying “Eek!” with gritted teeth!

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
