Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning. Looks bright and sunny out there this morning. 4.9 BG too. My morning BGs seem to have gone down a little overall which hopefully will be good for my next HbA1c test in September.

The diabetic nurse advised me not to do any special food tests which I found very odd because I want to know if any foods adversely affect my blood Glucose levels. Well I ignored the advice but not intentionally. I have unknowingly been doing the special tests in the early afternoon since the start.

Recently I extended the special tests to include icecream, chocolate eclairs, high carb breakfast (50g), and still nothing upsets things, which is very good.

Oh, the ice creams, so nice. I really appreciate my food now and savour each mouthful.

If I had reacted badly to any of the foods I would be cautious with those foods going forwards.

So why did they advise me not to test and find out? Odd, very odd.

Well said. This should be inserted in the guidelines/rules of the forum. Or add it to your signature.
 
Well another reading in double figures (10.4) for me despite a more significant amount of exercise yesterday, so tonight I will take a couple of units of Levemir since that is 3 high fasting readings in a row.

I was a bit achy and shivery last night after my vaccine yesterday morning and took 2 lots of paracetamol but feel fine today and slept well. I had a bleeder when the nurse removed the needle but then I had run along to the doc's surgery to get the jab and then took a detour because I was going to be too early and didn't want to stand around in the cold, so I was rather pumped up and "glowing" by the time I sat in the chair to be jabbed. Shoulder is a bit sore but only if I press on it.
 
Morning all. 6.6 for me, overdone the snack before bed methinks. It’s cold and frosty this morning, again! Our boiler splurted on at 6.15am! Nothing much planned apart from cleaning the house from top to bottom because we’re going away! Last minute washing and ironing. A steak pie to be made to take with us. I’ll need a holiday after all this! 😉

Have a great day whatever you’re up. 🙂
 
Morning all and 7.4 today. Off down to the caravan later this morning, dog in tow.
@MAC2020 as regards @Clifton and his mum, it was only a bit of banter, of course everyone would wish her well and happiness but there’s certainly no harm in being cautious. We love our parents and it’s only natural to want to ensure they are not being taken advantage of. 🙂
Have a good day everyone x
 
6.5 this morning which I’m quite happy with post 2nd jab.
Arm a little tender and stiff and I’m feeling a bit tired but nothing like after the first.

Absolutely! We have a guy wearing a trenchcoat and trilby lined up in deepest Cumbria to follow his every move with a vintage Leica for company and packet of digestive biscuits for sustenance.

Seriously, the concern, comments and funny anecdotes are appreciated. The kids in the back of the eco friendly truck and Madame at the wheel find it funny too! Always a bonus!

Enjoy the caravan!
