Group 7-day waking average?

I used to love Camembert or Brie on toasted crumpets with redcurrant jelly pre diagnosis, but since I am now doing my utmost to keep very low carb, two out of those 3 are now off the menu so I don't buy the Brie either.... was just looking at some today and craving those delicious treats. Maybe I would acquire a taste for it on it's own like I do with hard cheeses or maybe it would be good on cauliflower, it's just that I see it and long for the crumpet and red currant jelly combo and then I start wanting all sorts of other naughty carbs, so it is best to avoid the temptation.
I think you are right about the DF being responsible for spoiling our hat trick of matching fasting readings though.

I once stayed in a hotel for 3 months as part of a job relocation and had a meal allowance - I had deep-fried Brie and cranberry as a starter every night! 😱 :D I think I could live off it 😱 🙂
 
Yes, that is another favourite of mine with Brie or with fresh crusty French bread and lashings of butter on a morning before heading out to ski.
I think it is a cheese that encourages you to be naughty, whereas the likes of Feta which I have just had in a Greek Salad (spinach and rocket etc) with mint dressing and olives and a splash of balsamic lends itself to being more virtuous

I never have anything other than a glass of red wine with my brie. It gets a bit messy if it’s very ripe. I wouldn’t do it if I was out! (Oh dear, I can hear my mother's voice..'Would you do that if you were out?')
 
It would have to be port for me.... wine has been known to give me quite severe migraines to the point of vomiting and passing out even after only one glass, but I've never had a problem with port, even after several glasses.... hic! Maybe if I had eaten Brie with the wine I would have been fine.
Interestingly, since my diagnosis in Feb, and radical change of diet, I haven't had a single migraine (despite stopping the supplement I was taking or any other medication) and it wasn't just wine that triggered them..... so that is another silver lining to my diabetes diagnosis.

Back at lunch after a few days away for a relaxing break, eating out a lot with unfamiliar food and portions, bg levels behaved well, this despite sinking a few pints of guinness along the way.

Woke today on 4.8, shower in room had 2 temperatures hot and cold, so after a hot shower bg went down to 3.3. back up to 5.6 before brekkie was served and stayed below 9 all day, like all breaks need a rest to get over it, sigh.
 
Oh, I also forgot to mention Manchego as another new favourite
 
:D Now I want to eat Brie with red wine 😛 :D
 
I didn't know there was a problem with cheese! I eat chunks and chunks. Does it make you go lower or higher? I'll have to do a test! I have to make a proper effort to do low carb first. :(

I now have the sax playing scene from The Lost Boys in my head. Might have to watch it yet again. 🙂

I didn't measure this morning as too scared after what I ate yesterday, including an entire box of grapes.

06:37 BS 7.0. JUST about ok! 🙂 To be expected after Novorapid reductions but, it should start to settle down once I get used to the new lower doses. Only had 6 units with dinner last night & after was 10.7 & I fell asleep soon after so, yeah, I’m ok with that! See what the BS does today?🙄 Better than a 4.5 after breakfast. I’ve gotten to know the signs, or should that be the BS readings, that tell me to reduce doses! 🙄

Yesterday turned out quite nice but, it took until the late afternoon into the early evening to do so. I stayed up a bit later because I had a very rare, for me being a tea person, cup of coffee & I managed to play a few more golf matches. I haven’t played much this week as I’ve been tired & had issues with alertness: needs focus & concentration to play well enough to win! And there’s a new tournament that I want to try to qualify for on Monday &, hopefully, with some better pacing now that I know the rules, I’ll do better! 🙂

I had quite a good sleep so, up later this morning! :D

Still an early ish Good Morning to you all &, hey, I can see some sunshine poking through the gap between my curtains in my bedroom! 🙂 It’s the weekend: time to go WILD! I’ll be playing & practicing golf ready for the next tournament: what to see if I CAN make the final round at the end of next week? 🙄

I’ll bask in the heat of the heater for a bit, still not sure IF I’m cold, & have breakfast later! Have a Wonderful Day at the start of a wild weekend? 😉

Edited to add:-* Oh! I just passed the million in coins earned at golf yesterday: I’ve made a million! 🙂😎😛😉 Oops! I may be a bit thick, still with IT stuff, but, I can only get the pic at the top of the post! 😱:D😳

Morning all, an 8.3 for me today.
 
Morning peeps!

4.4 at 6:05, 4.6 at 6:55, should've eaten a rich tea for that 6.0 at bedtime after all as seems I may have gotten away with it 🙄

My mum was volunteering yesterday so she took my sharps bin up to the chemist to swap for a new one, little did anyone know the lid wasn't on properly and came off in the carrier bag when she got to the chemist so she had to tip them out back into the sharps bin 😳

Anyways hope you all have a fab day! :D
