No, you're quite right. It's when I see an '8' I just don't like it, but it didn't go up by that much from the previous number. Thank you for pointing this out, it's the original numbers I need to get down. 🙂

I'm doing SlimFast from tomorrow, not because I'm fed-up of Atkins foods but because I messed the grocery budget up again and I have SlimFast in but not that much else till pension day on Tuesday. :D

Thursday: Weight: 215.8 Tum 49 1/2
BG: 7.3@ 7.34am
Pint Water with spoonful Normacol (fibre)
Breakfast:
Small Can Pork, 2 Fried Eggs, 2 Tomatoes, bit of Onion.
Pint Water with Aspirin and Meds
Lunch:
Cold Cuts (roast turkey with stuffing, roast pork, roast beef) and Spicy Sweetfire Baby Beetroots (4 in a pack) Do they grow it like this or is stuff added?
Pint Water
BG: 6.5@ 2.10pm
Dinner:
Bacon and Cabbage with a very lot of butter! Too much!!
Pint Water.

B: 2 slices of Burgen toasted.
L: Tuna salad
D: Fish & chips from the chippy
Pud: cream filled chocolate brownie
It was my day off diabetes as I had my HbA1c yesterday.🙂
 
B: toasted Lidl high protein roll, half peanut butter and half buttter & marmite.

Definitely keeps me going longer than the banana porridge but I do enjoy it. I need to think of ways of increasing the protein in the banana porridge significantly it seems since the Lidl roll plus peanut butter is about 35g.

Banana porridge is only about 11g I reckon. I'd have to eat an awful lot of nuts to get that much protein!

L: three cheddar pieces, Graze box (beetroot crisps and sunflower seeds), 9 bar

Pm snack: 2 plums

D: Indian takeaway: half a portion each of Chana sag, mushroom bhaji, cauliflower bhaji, 3 poppadums, just enough nan to wipe my plate clean. Couple of glasses of Pinot Grigio blush.
The other half goes in the freezer for my dinner on Wednesday.

Weekend after dinner treat: 3 dark Lindors

@Ditto. My Codefree meter readings would always be 1-2mmols higher than my Contour TS meter ~ lately tho using the Contour, I've re-tested immediately after the first test using the same blob of blood and lo and behold its between 1-2mmols lower!! Make sense of that if you will!!! The only negative side to doing this is my test strips run out way before the next lot is due!!!

Yes that spike is rather extreme and I would advise against having it again, bananas are full of carbs and sugar although some people can handle them, are you sure your finger was properly clean when you tested at 1 hour? x
