Great to hear you had a good sleep, and good to see the numbers coming back down 🙂 How are the ribs now?

Thanks Northie ~ ribs are less painful now with just the occasional twinge now and then so I guess they are recovering well ~ patience is a virtue whilst mother nature takes her time🙂

I could put Rudolph to shame today and when you have a nose like mine the last thing you want is it red and glowing lol.
Ah! such is life.

Sorry to hear about hubby :( I hope your move goes smoothly, I think there are lots of Spaniards heading back to Spain after Brexit, so they will all be looking for somewhere nice to live! 😱 🙂

Thanks, Northerner.🙂

Morning good peeps.🙂 6.1 here.😛
 
Morning my lovelies 🙂, Christmas presents finally wrapped, Bruce's birthday presents were delivered yesterday for the 20th of January lol so I'm certainly sorted 🙂 a digestive induced 5.5 for me this morning and just away to pop my phone on charge and pop the heating on, hope everyone has a lovely day! :D xx
 
Morning all. 5.1 here today.

My little boy asked if it was Christmas today - I think this might become a theme - but was happy enough when I said no but the Christmas tree is still up! Have a great Sunday everyone 🙂
 
Morning all. A 4.4 for me this morning after a hypo yesterday evening and 3 biscuits. Can only think I over bolused for dinner although I did double check it and it seemed fine. Fickle little mistress this Do_O

I've done the wrapping but haven't even started the cards! LOL, I have mine and Bruce's lot and my granddads lot to do! Haha x
 
Afternoon all, I was at 9.1 first thing. Late posting due to going out early for a girly shopping day with my best mate.
 
Yesterday as a matter of interest I decided to experiment with food that I knew would spike me so I did a recky of my days bgls using 6 of my months quota of 50 test strips:~

5.7mmol ..........Waking
Didn't test brunch.
4.7mmol ..........Pre evening main meal
7.3mmol ..........38mins post evening main meal
12.1mmol ........1hr 16mins post evening main meal and dessert including a visit from our not so very dear DF😡
9.9mmol ...........2hrs 22mins post evening main meal and dessert
4.9mmol ...........Bedtime

So a dolly mixture of numbers there😉

My evening meal, totally ignoring sensible portion size too, comprised of :~
Main
Bought minced beef & onion pie😛
Wrinkle oven chips
Loads of broccoli
Lots of gravy
Dessert
2 apple turnovers!!!😛
400mls water during the course of my meal and 200mls water immediately after my meal.

Conclusion
It's obvious then that I can't tolerate pastry to that extreme:( However had I not eaten the 2 apple turnovers for dessert (Greedy guts and sooooo hungry!) then I might, just might, have got away with the savoury mince pie alone 🙂 (A dessertspoonful of my favourite salted 😛caramel ice-cream for dessert which I know I can tolerate, would have been a more sensible choice) but as said, I was experimenting.

In total there was a rise of 5.2mmol from pre meal to postprandial😱 Lesson learned of what I can/can't tolerate. Most definitely too many carbs in the whole meal.

In fact interestingly my bg had more or less run a full circle from pre meal of 4.7 to a bedtime 4.9.🙂

My apologies for the lengthy post!🙄

That's a lot of Pastry WL.
I am no expert but I feel your analysis could be correct . The numbers themselves are not astronomical. Without the 2 Apple Turnovers you could have gotten away wth the Pie only. Also you did have Chips.
I have already decided to try the "Pie Test" on myself when I get back home. Luckily I don't like Apples Turnovers and am not a great Chip lover either lol.
Will let you know what happens.
 
Good Morning/Night/Morning Peeps
Accu-Chek say 5.0
at 5,35 am
Going back to bed decided to take the day off today.
WIsh you all sweet dreams and a successful day tomorrow in whatever you do

Within my mind, the sun always shines,

I'm not in the habit of eating pastry Vince apart from 1 or 2 mini sausage rolls now and then but I wanted to test my tolerance of pastry. Indeed I did go overboard with the carby chips and having pastry in both my main and dessert ~ I hasten to add I didn't eat all the pastry of the meat pie but I did eat all the oven chips! What interested me tho was the fact that my bgl returned to a very acceptable number in the long run as opposed to remaining high which I imagined would happen. Such is Diabetes! I'm still learning🙂
