Group 7-day waking average?

I have lost a couple of stone Eddy, but at 14st and just under 6ft I don't think I had a weight issue. Diabetes has dropped me down to 12st so a much healthier weight.

That's the 15% reduction the Newcastle folks & other credible groups set as the target for "remission", not very dependent on where you started from in BMI terms - obese, overweight, normal. What counts is where in the bod the weight stacks up. In any case, at 14st and just under 6ft you had a BMI of ~27, which is officially "overweight".

But, whatever! You've got the beast under control, which is the important thing.

@Docb - I was thinking in terms of fruit & whole grains, not stuff that nobody should eat anyway 🙂
 
Sorry to read your news @SueEK but pleased you have an app sooner rather than later. Hopefully they will put your mind at rest slightly. Sending hugs xx
 
Yes Eddy, thought you might draw a line at pie and double chips.

Did deliberately have a bit higher carb lunch today - a soup into which I threw some potatoes from the fridge along with a ham salad, a couple of oat biscuits with a pear and a few raspberries from the garden. Normally expect a noon reading between 6.5 and 7.5 for the same lunch without the spuds. Today 9.4. The extra carb from the spuds quite clearly had made a difference so i don't think I can write off carb intake completely.
 
Have you seen my contribution to your thread on post prandial testing where I have posted a graph of how I would expect my BG to vary through the day? If you had a similar graph, it would tell you how your 6.7 fits in with what you might expect. My guess is that it would be within your normal range. The 9.4 I reported is well outside my normal range for a test at that time of day and my conclusion that "it was the spuds" is, I think, reasonable.
 
Bonjour. A slightly better 6.4 today, possibly something to do with the 27,000 steps I walked yesterday in Versailles Palace and Gardens, in the heat, followed by a hypo just as we were finishing our 9 hour visit! Down to 3, which is not like me at all, it all happened in about 30 seconds, raging hunger, the sweats, feeling weird, shaky. Five jelly babies later felt well enough to walk the kilometre to the car park, 7.2 by this stage. Two hours to drive the 65 kms back to Giverny, and down to a 4. Four slices of French baguette sorted that! Off on our travels again today, down to Limoges, a two night stopover on the way to stay with family in the south but we’ll visit Rocamadour and Oradour-sur-Glane, a deserted village from WW2, whilst there. Have a fab weekend everyone. 🙂
 
Good morning guys 🙂

Well 10 year anniversary and it's no cuddles or kisses for Bruce, I still have the cold lingering and this is entering its 4th or 5th week! 😱 (apparently there was a woman in the charity shop yesterday that's now into the 7th week of it!) but Bruce has it full on so he isn't getting near me, I just cant deal with getting it back full on again!

Anyway it's a 6.3 for me, neighbours came noisily up the stairs with their kids age 2 and 7 at near 11pm last night and didn't bother being quiet when they got in the house either so I'm not in the best of moods

Hope you have a great day folks! Oh and here's what Bruce got me! :D xx
