6.5 this morning - not sure of strict testing criteria? Should we be testing the moment we wake up (rather impractical for me) or normal fasting criteria (10 hours fasting?) I ask because I got to bed very late (past midnight) and had my evening meal just before going to bed. I did wait 10 hours fasting (only had a couple of coffees with no sugar (just sweetener)) in that time. Does sweetener affect things, sorry - so many questions.

Back on a strict 800 calories per day from today too after recent travel distractions. Am just over 12 stone and want to be 11st 7lbs in two weeks and we'll see how the readings go. Recent poor readings have regenerated my motivation!

Hello Kimbo,

I only started testing last week (Wed 22nd) I am watching my carb intake but have some way to go to achieve the 30 gram goal.

Is that correct 30 grams daily total carbs?

If you want to achieve ketosis, yes the target is under 30g carbs a day and you have to watch protein too.

Well, I decided when I started 10 months ago, to go for 30gm per day carbs- some said it was being harsh but I've been fine. I do have protein most days, cheese and meat etc, it's only on odd times of having a lot of meat I find a slight rise, max of a point though!

I had a prang in my car yesterday and was soooo stressed about it all day that I couldn't even eat.
My morning BG levels are usually around 5, but this morning it was 8! is this usual? Does stress do this?

Stress and pain can have an effect on blood sugar. So try not to worry about problems that can easily be solved:)
