Group 7-day waking average?

My muesli is Eat Natural with nuts and seeds After 1 hour I'm up to 8.6 so really wasn't worth it except from the experimental point if view Will go for a carb free lunch and hope the walking at work later will sort things out

That's far from dreadful Lindarose, after an hour your levels have risen only 1.7 mmol/l from your pre-meal/waking reading. A rise of 2 mmol/l within the first couple of hours is quite acceptable, as long as it comes back down again 🙂 Always look for the difference in readings rather than their actual values, this is what tells you whether you tolerate a particular meal well or not 🙂
 
Much appreciate your advice Northerner Thanks I was down to 6.8 after 2 hours and same 6.8an hour after my low carb bread and cheese lunch I hate anything over 8 after eating but realistically know it happens And I will note the rise in reading more Hoping I can have a better starting bg before next meal!

Yes, the trick is to be lower before your meals, then you should be lower after, although it must be said that your levels are really good overall 🙂 One really good thing about your readings is that they show you are very stable - this is good news because it is thought that it is big swings in BG that are most likely to cause damage. It looks like that muesli worked well for you! 🙂
 
Good morning 🙂 6.5 for me today, after going to bed on a 6.8 - think I might have cracked the evening fight with the lows by cutting the novorapid right back. My TDD (Total Daily Dose) has gone from 34 units on Monday to 17 units yesterday 😱

Maybe it's a late honeymoon, I too am now on a spectacular 15-17 units a day and everybody keeps yammering on about honeymoons....😉

5.9 this morning, slightly better sleep and a slow rise to 8 before breakfast, hmm fun this Lantus lark, can't remember when I had this much hilarity in my life 🙄 no wait I can, it was when I broke my left foot and all my right toes [grumble grumble].
 
Good morning and 6.3 today Excited about trying the muesli again ....it's the little things! 🙂 Glad your numbers are improving Northerner and Kooky your fasting sounds good too but oh so complex Good luck 🙂
 
An hour after muesli 12.3 Retest 11.2 That's rather a big rise using either result Had same amount as yesterday too it's this sort of thing that confuses me!

Grr!!! This is why you need to test the meal a few times before you decide whether it is a 'safe' option or not. Unfortunately, there are a myriad factors that might affect your readings, although what you have actually eaten is, of course, a very important one! Hope it was just a blip, and that future readings are better so you can continue to enjoy it 🙂
 
Yes it's hard to understand The body is so complex! But I think ile give cereal a miss Just not worth it as was more for a change than that I'm a muesli fan Anyway it won't spoil my day Will do as yesterday and sure levels will drop Now 8.7

Aw I was hoping the muesli would be a goer for you 🙄 aside from rice crispies I don't have much luck with cereal either, stupid silly diabetes fairy, gonna be wearing that tutu on her head soon 😉
 
Morning 5.6 and get out the streamers a relatively good amount of sleep. Went to bed on a 5.4 which might have been risky!

CGM out this morning then hopefully some answers will follow soon 🙂.

Great to hear you got more sleep KC! 🙂 Looks like a nice stable night too, but let's wait and see what the Black Box has to say about that! 🙂

Yes I've been here before, so fingers are crossed but not banking on anything!
 
Good morning 6.2 today And not taking any chances with brekkie today! Good results Northerner and Kooky 🙂
