I'm not in the habit of eating pastry Vince apart from 1 or 2 mini sausage rolls now and then but I wanted to test my tolerance of pastry. Indeed I did go overboard with having pastry in both my main and dessert ~ I hasten to add I didn't eat all the pastry of the meat pie but I did eat all the oven chips! What interested me tho was the fact that my bgl returned to a very acceptable number in the long run as opposed to remaining high which I imagined would happen. Such is Diabetes! I'm still learning🙂

Would be interesting WL to compare your findings with the results of a non-diabetic person and just see what would happen to them.
 
Just went outside, holding my hot water bottle as was going to bed, and saw the super moon, I took a photo which does not capture how spectacular the moon looks.
Great day for levels and better go to bed. Now, Good morning Vince and hope you feel better.

A useful good experiment and rather tasty. Your bed time number was so good. Interesting!

Yes indeed Vince ~ finding a non diabetic who would be prepared to trial the experiment might prove difficult ~ but hey I needn't look far....according to my last HbA1c of 32 that is exactly what I am!!:D But for how much longer I ask if I were to continue to indulge myself!! I'm definitely not going down that route ~ but I won't deprive myself of a sweet treat now and then😛 I am human after all🙂

Well and Truly Human WL.
My plan is to avoid anything that could cause me any issues until I get back home and ask for a fasting HbA1c test.
Then I will conduct the "Pie Test"
I also intend to conduct the "McVIties Chocolate Honeycomb Club Biscuit and Glass of Milk Test". Just the 1 biscuit not the 6 I used to eat before bed each night.
As they say WL, "A little of what you fancy does you good".

Yes I was intrigued with the bedtime number too NJ ~ I wish I understood Diabetes ~ my diabetes ~ just when I think i know mine ~ it changes the goal posts! Can't win sometimes!

Your photo of the super moon is by far more sharper and clearer than the pic I captured. I took a photo using my Tablet but it's a tad blurry coz my hands were shaking with the cold!

Wishing everyone a positive and stress free Monday and an equally good week with stable numbers. Hope those with coughs & colds and other health issues are feeling heaps better now and ready to challenge whatever Diabetes has in store for us. Take care folks and stay warm during this Brrrrrr cold spell.x

Morning all, a 9.1 for me today. Still stuck in the 9's!
 
10.0 for me I am afraid. Bought oat bread from Tesco and had 2 slices toast - one with jam, for supper. Will try to have 1 slice and only half with jam tonight. See if moderation helps. Bit grumpy at this constant situation and my lack of restraint at times. Want to give DF her diabetes back.made soup for packed lunches this week and it smells yuksorry for the grump, it’s also Monday. Have a good day all. Ps body searching for caffeine as I just had decaf. Not the best start to week.
 
Sorry folks for above post. I am extremely grateful for my health, my job, lifestyle when I think of the poverty, homelessness, I’ll health and other things people are living with. I am an ungrateful witch. I still don’t class DF as my best pal though, but I do give her house room
 
Morning dearies 🙂 very uncomfortable night for me after an incident yesterday which resulted in me getting a VERY soŕe chest, hurts to breath, move etc :( anyways 5.3 for me and hope everyone has a lovely day! :D xx

Don't worry Carol - I had decaf once at my sister's without realising it and couldn't work out why I felt so grumpy! 😱 😉

Seems you might be back where you were, at least as far as waking numbers go, Stitch :( When is your next appointment? Sounds like a tweak of meds might be in order again.

5.9 for me, after another lie-in! 😱 🙂

Not until the beginning of April. I might try and make an appointment to go for a chat with gp. Im hoping its not any added stress of whats going on at work at the moment.
