I dunno, just to get first crack at a <40 mutter mutter ;)

Seriously though, well done and fingers crossed! I've got my next tests now on 6 October after getting back from Oz.

Highly improbable this time, but hoping to be there by December (providing it is done before Christmas. Lol.)
Good luck to you, too, Rod. I hope your trip doesn't send you haywire.

beans and bananas are not my usual diet peeps its usually home made yogurt and salads loads of weight to lose. But yesterday I had a day off work and had a banana for breakfast instead of yogurt. and didn't want lunch but had to take meds so had another nana. Didn't really want to eat last night so heated some beans and shared with Sam the parrot

Aside from the fact you weren't in work, why did you choose bananas and beans to eat yesterday? Very peculiar choices for someone going down the LCHF route?

was fed up with yogurt though back on it today its been my staple since April or-though flavors vary. and as I wasnt hungry as such if I didnt eat i would not have eaten all day so decided to have something the parrot would eat as he doesnt like salad. which is also my mainstay

Just a stupid question and I am sure you know the answer to it but in my meter it's showing me an average of 7 days 14 days and 30 days so 7 days is the last seven days not the first seven days right?
The reading looks really good of last 7 days at 5.1 and 5.3 for last 14 but don't want to get too happy about it

7.8 this morning after taking the recommended spoonful of peanut butter at bedtime. There really is no rhyme or reason to this. I had an extra long walk at lunchtime and my bs didn't go above 6.7 all day.:mad:

6.4 so eating a handfull of nuts and maybe some sugar free jelly at night helps keep the levels down
