I have seen rises after omelettes and assumed it was the cheese, but you’re right, negligible carbs with eggs and cheese. The omelette only had mushrooms and onions, so no carbs with the meal. So it must be the rise from the protein, I didn’t take any bolus so that must explain the rise. This Libre is great to help show what different foods do 🙂Why would cheese cause your levels to rise? There are a lot less carbs in cheese than milk. Negligible really, although you will get a rise from the protein in the eggs and cheese about 2 hours later if you didn't have any obvious carbs with the meal and no bolus insulin.
Hard prune the callistemon and it’ll likely recover. Hebe and ceanothus are often very robust as well. Give them time before you decide if they’re gone out not. You can also hard prune olive trees and they’re surprisingly resilient.Good morning folks! I’ll just leave this here . . . 🙂

Reading your Libre v BG comparisons @rebrascora, I did one myself this morning. A good time to check after a nice flat overnight line and allowing for a little rise which I get after waking (I only get little dawn, not big dawn). BG at 06:51 was 6.2, then another scan 15 minutes later 5.9. So I’m ok with that. I did start thinking about doing a day of hourly finger stick testing and match that graph against the Libre, but to be honest it would most likely drive me mad as they wouldn’t ever totally agree, so decided on the more sane option of just going with the Libre! I hope you get on well with your Libre 2 and that it behaves as well for you as your old Libre 1s have done!
We did go to the garden centre yesterday and indeed it was a coffee in the cafe after a wander around the place (mostly the indoor bit). Definitely worth a return visit in the Spring, especially as I suspect we will need to replace some plants in the one border which sadly seem to have been killed after the recent -10 C cold snap . Seem to have lost a large Hebe, a Ceanothus and a lovely large potted Callistemon (bottle brush plant). I’m now worried about the Olive Tree which has lost some leaves after the frosts. Oh well, I guess that’s just the way of nature.
Have a good Monday everyone!
Does that work like a float?5.5, going to try swimming on an orange today
Onions are 8 carbs per 100gms. So some carbs in the meal.I have seen rises after omelettes and assumed it was the cheese, but you’re right, negligible carbs with eggs and cheese.

My olive tree goes in the shed in October and comes out in March. I rarely water it ( out of sight, out of mind) and it still survives. Maybe I should pop up and see it today just incase it hadn’t this year!Good morning folks! I’ll just leave this here . . . 🙂
