[QUOTE="Chook, post: 1471822, member: 24561"] Don't worry about it.... I've got quite a few gaps in mine. At the beginning its the general trend you are looking at - don't fret about the specific numbers first off. Just aim for a slow and steady downwards trend. Can I suggest that you keep a food and BG diary combined - at least for the first few weeks - that way you'll see what foods spike you (spike you=make your BG go up) and which you don't have a problem with. Its a nuisance at first but you'll find it really helpful and it gets to be a habit. For instance, mushrooms are low carb - everyone else can eat them by the tonne - but my BG goes up when I've had them. Had I not been keeping a food diary I would probably have blamed something else in that meal for the spike but I knew the only 'new' thing in that meal had been the mushrooms. So now I know to keep my mushroom consumption low or have them with a meal that doesn't have any other carbs. Me 'n' [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] both think that I've got an intolerance to mushrooms because, as I said, most other people can eat lots of them with no problem at all. [/QUOTE]
