Group 7-day waking average?

Morning. 8.0 for me today.

Back in the 5s this morning after my 3-day sojourn in the 4s, but only just - it's a 5.0 for me today.

Bathroom was finished yesterday but plumber says wait until the weekend before using it so as not to disturb the fresh grout and silicon. Window company came and did their templating too, so today we have no one here but us for the first time in a fortnight.

Just about to settle down with a coffee, a pack of Graze Chilli & Lime nuts and the newspaper, with a relaxing morning to look forward to.

Have a good day.

What happens if people only have the the bathroom?
 
Learnt two important lessons yesterday. I was 6.6 when I woke, 6.1 pre lunch and then 5.4 two hours after lunch. Whoop, whoop 🙂 Then I got on my exercise bike for the first time in two weeks (I did my back in and first time I've felt up to it). Half an hour of cycling and my BG was 7.7! I knew I'd read about exercise raising BG but couldn't remember why so back to Gretchen's book. Obviously 5.4 is normal but for me it is the lowest I've been. If you're low she recommends eating a small amount of carbs before exercise (any suggestions?) as otherwise your pesky liver will dump glucose into your body to help with the exercise. Lesson number one.

Lesson number two: I cooked a new recipe last night that involved Indonesian Soy Sauce. Two hours post dinner I got an 8.8. When I looked Indonesian Soy Sauce is also called Sweet Soy Sauce and is full of sugar. Read the label stupid! So, I managed to go from 5.4 at 16:00 to 8.8 by 20:00 and it was all my fault 😡

Wasn't surprised to see an 8.1 this morning :(

Think it means more the bath/shower so toilet would still be usable but best not to use the bath etc xx

Forecast is bucketing all day here, then we have a few clear days but about 5 days of rain to follow next week, could all change by tonight though lol, best to just look out the window haha xx
 
Morning all,
Late reporting today with a 6.1.
Bit of Dawn phenomenon experimenting at the moment...

Blessings Snowwy

Sometimes I find it is not the Exercise alone that reduces levels it is also duration that can make an effect. Also exercise effect is not necessarily just at the time it can be go in to the next daytoo!

I suspect they wouldn't have gone for a new one in the first place if it takes 2 weeks to strip out and refit.

I was in ALDI today picking up some nut bars and I noticed Moser Roth 85% cocoa dark chocolate on the shelf, 5 individually wrapped bars per pack. Is this the one? If so I might give it a try.

Yes Martin it is, less than 5g carbs per bar, it is sweet to my palate but I only ate Lindt 90% for a long time and now Lidl 95% xx

You're lucky. Anything over 70% makes me want to throw up.

I've always preferred dark chocolate even as a child as its what my mumu prefers so was used to it, 70% would be far too sweet to my palate xx
 
I like the Lindt 85% and only 4g for two squares, yum. It is rather expensive though so get it when it’s on offer. Don’t think I could eat milk chocolate now if I wanted to.
