Thanks KookyCat I think it's the gastroparesis - with the way my BGs have been recently I'm rather scared that it has permanently worsened. I hope it is only temporary problems because all my consultant can suggest is to only eat puréed food and liquids which I don't want to do:(

Well I'm crossing my fingers for one of those "just because I want to remind you I can" highs rather than a permanent change with the gastroparesis 🙂
 
Thank you KookyCat🙂

A lot of people find that they can't tolerate cereal of any type in the morning, due to higher insulin resistance exacerbated by extra glucose production from the liver at the start of the day. Might be worth trying a low/no carb breakfast to see what happens 🙂

I know I can't take oats in the morning.
Apples didn't work, so it looks like I have to try the celery tomorrow morning...
 
went to bed last night at 5.1, woke with 5.0 been cruising at under 7 all day, only had a low carb small lunch and a boiled egg for breakfast. might try this diet for a few days and see how it goes, will probably loose a lot of weight but i feel good for having low readings.

going from about 4000 calories per day with hard training regime to 2500 light training has been good and i have noticed that i am staying at about 90KG so i might get to about 80KG and hope i stay at that weight with the small no carb brekkie and small low carb lunch.

So, salad lunch and have walked 7 kilometers since 11.00am to burn off the excess sugar.

Result: 16.00pm 14.1 BS

This is not following the script.

I wonder if you have an infection coming on Bill? My numbers go unexpectedly high before I've noticed any symptoms, then I get the cold a day or so later.
 
5.0 this morning......my figure of choice 🙂
 
Morning 5.7 for me today

Much better but I've had to go back to cashew nut butter on toast for supper to stop that 3:30 slump. Least I get some sleep that way 🙂
