Good morning 🙂 5.7 for me today 🙂
@Barbara W in the beginning I was the same freaking at them high numbers not knowing why and no help from the ones that where meant to be looking after me other than don't test it'll worry you.
For a month I had really sore fingertips with all the testing but got there in the end and I roughly know what spikes me.
If a new food is presented I test before and after. If early enough and I've spiked I go for a walk only 15-20 minutes mind. If late I sip water not guzzle it.
My only thing is the eating out as they don't cater for me so still not doing so the now but one day I will.
Hi Dollypolly when I first started to test I must admit I was a little alarmed as some readings were high but I am getting the hang of it slowly but surely. I do try to walk for at least 30-45 minutes after eating and I drink at least 2 litres of water a day. Had a take away last night as away with family will be extra good today lol that was my treat for the week.
