Hit my first 4. bg reading today

Hi All,

I know this is might be seen as spam (so I apologise!!) but today I hit my first 4.2 bg reading today, on the 7th March my fasting level was 16.5 so I'm feeling pretty chuffed with myself. With changes in diet and exercise i'm feeling like I'm coming to terms with what I have to do to keep healthy!.

Just wanted to share with people !!!

Congratulations! Do you want to share with us how you did it?

erm.... cut down the processed sugars from drinks/food etc. Eating three times a day on a balanced diet. porridge with blueberries for breakfast. Salad for lunch and a home cooked tea. Lost all white breads, white pasta etc. Still have the odd takeaway but it's plain rice, tikka mixed grill and lay off the ghee curry sauces.

Also got back into running, 5k three times a week pushing for a 20min time. I'll be upping to 10k gradually and am aiming for half marathon distance over this year (maybe even try training for a marathon).

If I get to a friday and been good all week (eating and exercise wise) I'll treat myself to a bag of crisps at lunch.

Very well done, I'm sure the running has helped a lot. I need to get some more weight down before even attempting what you do!

Well don't that is a fantastic result

 

[AndBreathe]

That's a very rapid turnaround. Very well done.

As I am learning, exercise works well, diet works well, but the two together - bloomin amazing.

Congratulations!

Incredible turnaround. Was that 4.2 fasting or after exercise?

thanks everyone, these readings were taken mid afternoon just before my evening meal.

My fasting/morning levels are usually around the 7 mark. Over the last four weeks these seem to have a slower trend of decrease.
