My Colin has 6.0. today. I'm glad the diet is working. I am even happier that he that he sees results.

Morning!
Sunday 5.1 and 5.4 today
It's cold out there but dry so
Have a great day!

Morning all, 5.4 at waking up. Don’t know about anyone else but my levels drop in the morning once I start moving about

Most type 2s and prediabetics find that their BG readings rise once they start to move around, taking a shower, feeding pets etc. Perhaps the type 1s on this thread can provide you with more insight.

Morning all. Didn't take my blood yesterday but today it was 7.0 at 4am. But I have a very bad and painful back so not surprised. Have a nice day folks.

6.5 FBG from a reluctant digit this morning. That'll be the roast parsnip then!

Does anyone else have trouble getting blood from fingers in the cold weather? I have to move around & warm them up a bit before I even attempt it, otherwise its a bit of a struggle.

8.5 at 6.30am...Fiddler sacked.

Oops forgot to post! 6.5 @ 8am I was surprised it was that good as mother in law brought scampi and chips yesterday! Damage limitation I only had 4 chips.

Hope you’ve had a sunny Sunday

Just goes to show there is no rhyme or reason with diabetes lol

6.2 this morning at 7:00am, bad nights sleep but in bed by 9pm and couldnt sleep. Must have dozed off early hours. Think the bg number reflects it. Number 5s where art thou number 5s

Honestly, I have problems with the cervical vertebra. Yesterday was a busy day. That moment when I finished washing the dishes and thought about how nice it would be to throw my legs up on the table and lean back on a chair))) Result: in the morning I somehow raised my right arm

123 this morning which is about 6.8 I think

Good morning ️ from California!

4.94 mmol/L 89 mg/dL. Monday morning. Have a nice day everyone.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a number in the 5’s….but a happy 5.9 this morning.

How are you now|? I too, have cervical spine issues If I stress my neck, I find a day or two of rest usually helps settle things down. I hope it is the same for you.

That sounds like a good, positive thing, wish mine did.

Eggclento!

Winner for the bloods but hope everything goes well otherwise.

Thank you

Alls good, till you come to jump in the car and then have to wait for breakfast to kick in, and get me above the legal 5 for driving.

FBG Fingerprick 6.3 Libre 5.2 slightly better.

Another 2am correction though …which was super annoying because the graph was reasonably flat from a before bed reading of 5.8 until that time. Not really liking setting my high alarm to an inside range number just to avoid the DP spike going too high.

An astonishing 5.0 this morning!

One month in on keto and I am seeing numbers like I hadn't seen in decades on lazy LC. Unfortunately, I know from experience that extended keto causes me thyroid issues, so as per Dr. Wahls, I will be alternating keto with LC, though I don't think my thyroid would tolerate seasonal switching, so I will alternate months. I'm loving these numbers! I think that will keep the experiment going when it would be easier to relax. (I actually had a reading in the 4s this week!)
