Welcom MeToo... You seem to already be doing well... Are you low-carbing? There are some lovely recipes in the Low Carb Recipe thread...
Good morning all. I was 5.8 this morning after a bedtime reading of 6.7 (late dinner).
I've now finished the bottle of red wine I was using all week to take 100ml before bedtime to see if it reduced my fasting readings. Next week I shall do without and see what the difference is (if any).
Sounds good @WeeFergus and looking forward to the results. Might be an interesting example of the benefits of testing. You never know you may even have to up the (cough cough) medicine.....Good morning all. I was 5.8 this morning after a bedtime reading of 6.7 (late dinner).

These posts sometimes make me feel a little anxious when people show a frowny face if they get a fasting bs in the late 6 low 7s. I am completely low carbing and have bought my fasting down from 13.9 to generally 6.4 in two months and lost over 10 kg but struggling to get it lower and not sure what else to do. I thought I was doing ok, but the posts on here are generally such good numbers that I feel I will never achieve and am really over stressing on this - I know it's not a competition and this is the long haul, but feel like I am obsessing. So - note to self - chill and keep up the good work...(I suppose)
