Group 7-day waking average?

As we tend to eat our evening meal late, usually about 7.30 - 8 most nights, Im trying to get in the habit now of having a fairly carb free or low carb dinner. I do feel jealous sometimes of my other halfs potato bits on his plate, but i half fill my plate with veg. I done home made chilli last night and just had a spoonful of rice with it where as before id have had a mountain of it.
 
Give cauliflower rice a go Stitch - fried with a knob of butter it is delish if you allow it to brown a bit as well.
 
Love cauliflower, wasnt keen on cauliflower rice, but not tried it fried though. May give it another go.
 
Oh it works Stitch - believe me - love it for a chicken 'fried rice' meal:D
 
No I don't Northie - I take the one after my evening meal which is usually about an hour before I go to bed. I am seeing the nurse this afternoon so hopefully I may be on met today to try and get the levels lower. I am not often in the right range before eating but as I am very low carb I am sometimes (about 50%) within range for the after eating.

My DN is not interested in what my levels are though so could be a bit of a battle. I will print out my spreadsheet for her to fold up again and see how far I get this time 🙄

Hope the appointment goes well and she has a lightbulb moment! 🙂 If she's not interested in your levels then she's doing a shoddy job :(
 
Oh I am not supposed to be testing! I'm type 2 so don't need to test! 😡
 
Thats what the nurse was like at my surgery, I will only see one of the dr's now that specialises in diabetes. Hope iy goes well Lynn.
 
Time will tell Stitch - we don't have a specialist Diabetes Dr so I am a bit screwed on that front.
 
Good morning everyone 6.5 for me today when I got up. Dipped down unexpectedly last night and had quite a bit of Lucozade to stop a 4.3 from dipping lower.
 
4.9 at 8.35am. bit lower than yesterday and ate before bed last night. I did manage quite a long fast walk around town yesterday so maybe that has helped.
 
Good morning everyone. Diabetes wise a good start to the day with a 6.5🙂 but I really don't feel great today. However I need to ignore that because I've got my Guide Dog committee meeting this morning followed by a discussion that I've planned to write a feature about people preparing for the British Fencing Championships 🙂

Same here, Stitch - as long as I've got a big pile of tasty veg, I don't feel too hard done by!😛

Morning all.🙂 5.7 here.😛
 
Morning folks 5.8 today and a delightful sleep...feel quite zen now, although that won't last, the zen will evaporate when I set out for work, get wet and cold and have to wait 20 minutes for a bus 🙄
 
Good morning everyone - a nicely rounded 7 for me this morning - lowest it has been for weeks!
