Surprised went for my Christmas dinner last night had garlic mushrooms starter, Xmas carvery then a bit of chocolate fudge cake and ice cream and bloods this morning were 6.6. I did do a lot of excercise and didnt have much to eat in the day.

Result! :D I think that's the key - plan a bit for it, put in a bit of effort beforehand, then you can enjoy it 🙂
 
Well, mine was 9.8, and going up and down all night. I've got a slightly raised temperature, probably due to the UC, so I'm pleading extenuating circumstances🙂

I'm out with the girls tonight for our Xmas bash so I think I'll follow your lead, Ibby, and have an active day to help my insulin cope with this evening's carbs.😛

Morning folks.🙂 6.8 here.:D

What a hooooorrible day - cold n wet. Looks like we picked a good day for some out-of-town shopping centre action.🙄

That Libre sensor is working very well! 🙂 You'd get the same variation from two fingerpricks, or even two tests from the same drop of blood!

I do my morning Libre 10 mins after my finger prick and that seems to account for the inherent lag. I hope to post some thoughts on the libre when I've finished my first full sensor in a few days.
 
Good morning everyone. 7.7 for me

That would be incredibly useful. Mine's about to go out the window the variations are so great 😡
 
Good morning . Forgot to test when I woke up . 7.0 befor brekky.
 
5.7 this morning. 🙂

Went right up yesterday, 6.9 after 4 Richmond's for breakfast, then 8.1 after cider vinegar stew with a fat dumpling for dinner. Won't do that again then or do you think that's okay every once in a while?

Hi, It really depends on the difference between your pre meal and post meal levels , but those numbers look just fine to me.
Let's face it stew without a nice dumpling just doesn't cut it , does it.
