Both feet sore last night but, after Gay gave them a long massage, feeling betting this morning.

Fasting test today.

BS at 07:30 124 – 6.8 recovered a bit from last nights pizza test. Still slightly high start but that seems to be the figures I’m getting regularly.

Fasting test this morning. Both feet were quite sore when I went to bed last night but feel slightly better today.

BS at 07:30 124 – 6.8 Guess that’s not too bad – under 7 at least.

Had normal breakfast at 9:30, couple of packets of cashews and a 3in1 coffee (with sugar!).

BS at 15:45 101 – 5.6 good feeling today. Feet still feeling OK.

OK, EXPERIMENT TIME.

Tonight I’m having a small meaty pizza!

Had three-quarters of a pizza (yum)

BS at 22:30 160 – 8.9 -> yikes!

BS at 23:30 138 – 7.7 – on it’s way down, but still in the danger zone

Both feet feeling bad today.

Normal breakfast today (bacon, eggs followed by oats).

BS at 14:00 99 – 5.5

Quite a big plate of that twisted, colourful pasta tonight at 21:30 followed by quite a pack of honey-cashews.

BS at 23:30 113 – 6.2 not bad considering as I had a LOT of pasta I was expecting a higher reading.

Both feet feeling uncomfortable tonight.

Diabetes watch: Wednesday, 22nd October 2008

No fasting test today as I was watching football late last night and drinking beer. (ManUtd won 3-0 against Celtic).

Had normal (smaller) breakfast and a lunch of spicey pork, rice and vegs.

BS at 17:30 106 – 5.8 not too bad.

Had a large dinner at 21:30 Big bowl of soup (from a can – not sure what the carb count was), meat, veg and  a large potato.

BS at 23:45 155 – 8.6

Still quite high.

Diabetes watch: Tuesday, 21st October 2008

Both feet were sore last night. Couldn’t sleep well.

Fasting test this morning.

BS at 10:30 122 – 6.7 Strange one this. Last nights reading of 100 – 5.5 was at about 23:30. Since then I had nothing to eat or drink. This higher reading must be as a result of the ‘dawn phenomenon’.

Small breakfast this morning followed by various snacks during the day (including honey peanuts, bar of dark chocolate)

BS at 17:00 107 – 5.9 decent drop.

Diabetes watch: Monday 20th October 2008

Both feet sore this evening. Kind of feel swollen even though they’re not.

Had a dinner of pasta carbonara and some salmon at 21:30

BS at 23:30 100 – 5.5 can’t believe it’s so low!?
