A 5.6 for me at 06:48 on a musty West Berks morning. Hopefully the mist will burn off and we'll have another sunny day. I managed to shift that 0.8lbs so over 5 stone weight loss. Time to update my signature 🙂

6.3 for me this morning after 1/2 bottle red wine last night (1st alcohol since New Year) and a LOT of cheeses. Was told on the diabetes course that the BG would rise the following day - just trying to figure out when that will be. Honestly thought I'd have a shocker this morning.

The red wine probably kept it down for you, the liver stops its output of glucose while it’s busy breaking down the alcohol. One hour for each unit of alcohol was what my DSN told me.

That's what I was told and then they said the liver would catch up the next day and readings would go up. I stopped drinking around 9pm and I was at 7.5 from then until 11:30. I have an enzyme in my liver that doesn't like alcohol very much (I do!) but I don't know what that actually does or doesn't do.
Excellent article but be prepared to be bombarded with adverts for all sorts of stuff. Just what people have been saying here. I hope more G Ps and DSNs take note.
@Gwynn is your wife's GP allowed to stop your wife's medication, I thought that this was usually prescribed and monitored by a consultant? I hope they don't let her reduce it as that is not good.

Enjoyed a change of tea last night, with my grandad not being here we changed from fish to some ham, radishes and a rather large helping of cheese coleslaw, was delicious! Was 7.1 when I tested for bed so had 5 digestives
This morning I've gotten a 6.0 so correct call to make, only 1 nightmare last night but wish they would stop!

@eggyg I feel for you all, your daughter must be desperate to get home but there's no way they will let them out until little one is feeding. My son didn't feed well for a number of days and he weighed 9lb 5oz at birth and they wouldn't let us out!!

My daughter noticed a big difference between the two who were 5 and 6 weeks prem and the one who was full term in how strong their sucking reflex was and it took ages for them to take the feed. She did feel frustrated but persevered and fed them for 5 months. Yes, they will need to make sure that everything is Ok before letting them home.
No and if that’s the only medication you take it must be something else. Do you have them more when you are stressed or is it very hit and miss. Have you mentioned it to your GP, it’s not very nice if you are having nightmares a lot x
