Good morning. 14.3! Did some sleuthing a la Hercule Poirot and discovered the reason. It is extremely hot here through the night and I drink a lot of lemon or orange juice, often a litre a night, and found that I had I that purchased the sugar versions not the light. Senior moment.

Oh no! Glad you tracked down the reason! 🙂
 
6.6 for me 😱 Slept badly and slept-in, sneaky DP attack methinks.
Still
"The sun has got his hat on Hip-hip-hip-hooray!
The sun has got his hat on and he's coming out today."
 
Morning all on this, so far, dry day. Fingers crossed it stays that way, I actually had to put my wellies on yesterday to pick my veg! A very nice 6.3, that’s more like it. Changed injection site from thigh to stomach, coincidence? Was going to go book shelf shopping but have to wait for a parcel, delivery expected between 7am and 6pm! Have a great day and hope you all stay dry. 🙂

Back when I still had artificial sweeteners in my diet, I used to drink the no sugar Ribena & ran out once. The little shop at the petrol station near ish my house, a mere 2000 steps away as opposed to 3500 into the town centre, only had the normal sugar one. I bought it thinking how much sugar can there be? Was horrified by my high BS readings after drinking it THEN checked the label & saw the high sugar content! Never again, I chucked the bottle to avoid temptation! My hosp. Dietician told me that Ribena is notoriously high in sugar when I told her of my shock! But, since the sugar tax, Ribena has changed it’s recipe & sugar content!
 
Good Morning all!!! Newly diagnosed Type-2 and on a low carb, low salt diet. I've been getting great results all week averaging 6.9. Yesterday, I skipped breakfast (naughty, naughty), just coffee no sugar and lunch tuna mayo with salad and dinner lean lemon and herb cubed pork with green vegtables. All healthy portion size and loads of water throughout the day.
Now this morning my fasting reading is 9.1..... ARGH!!! What's going on? have I done something wrong or is a blood glucose spike normal?
..... a bit dissapointed after all the effort I've put in.

Our livers pump out a trickle of glucose 24/7 to keep the major organs supplied with fuel. Sometimes they get a bit overactive in the morning, when they know you’ll be gearing up for the day and need a bit extra fuel. Maybe skipping breakfast the previous day signalled to your liver that you might need a bit of extra help this morning.
Seriously, though, this is a problem a lot of people have, and they find their waking figures are the last ones to come down. Some people find a small low carb snack just before bed helps, or eating something low carb as soon as they get up, helps stop it in its tracks.

Cheers Northie, it was a nipper when I applied it but nae blood, just had an email from UPS saying replacement is due to be delivered on Monday and I've seen the way UPS drivers treat parcels so I've got my dad and his work mates keeping an eye out for my package at the depot lol, I'm due to order more on prescription on Monday so would you just order them as normal or wait as you have a replacement on the way? xx
 
Good morning 8.7 a bit of DP in that figure as I sorted the washing out before testing.🙄 A nice cool breeze blowing through from the sea, doors and windows wide open, still 24.C.😎 Well its white rabbits again and a happy Yorkshire day to all it applies too.🙂
