You are heading in the right direction :D
 
Keep at it, marie, it's worth all the hard work in the end!
 
It takes a while for BS to come down. Mine is still a bit all over the place but it's getting there. Hoping for my first single figure day today. Just after dinner one to do.🙂.
 
feeling confused this morning on wake up was 8.6 thats my lowest yet 2 hours after brekfast went up to 12.9 so wondering if the wake up 1 wasnt right only had 2 crumpets for brekfast

Crumpets are pretty high in carbs Marie, so they will have been the culprit! Most people tend to be quite insulin-resistant in the mornings, so it can be a good idea to eat something with as little carbohydrate as possible - stuff like bacon and eggs, scrambled eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes etc. 🙂
 
Crumpets are a big no no for me. Must find a recipe (or make one up) to make my own low carb version. Already working on a low carb hash brown.:D
 
ah that could be it then i cnat eat alot for breakfast never used have brekfast b4 this any tips would b great i used to love etaboix but think there high in carbs too?

Yes, I'm afraid so Marie :( Most cereals are high in carbs, unfortunately. Try something like scrambled eggs, they are carb-free and you will see much better numbers I'm sure 🙂
 
All cereals are off my list. The best one for me is all bran but even that spikes me more than i would like. Im finding natural greek yoghurt with a few berries the best.

scrambled eggs seems bit heavy for brekfast? i have breakfat at like 7am thet when i get up with kids x
 
No cos you aren't having toast! Nil carbs in the eggs, and even if you have one slice of toast, it will only be around 15/17g - whereas you had 40g this morning!

Haven't had any crumpets for years and we just fancied them last week, so bought a packet. I was gobsmacked when I read the info on the packaging! Eeeek! - 20g each!
 
Hi marie.you will get used to how food affects you. I had a spike this morming, but worked out why,si if i do it again i cant moan
