[QUOTE="bakedalaska, post: 982964, member: 208147"] Hi there! As you know high FBG is a common problem. I have had it too with exactly the same sorts of figures you quote using a NO carb diet and 3 x 40 lengths of a biggish pool per week and 10 min daily workouts. FBG highest of the day. Very frustrating. I now have the solution - but not everyone agrees with it - especially objectionable to American cousins. A moderate intake of red wine from a good chateau (and therefore unsweetened) or dry white wine. Note: Must be Dry! That has not only dropped my FBG to the 5s - but helps keep my BG down all day. Note: I only take the wine in the evening whilst relaxing and having my no carb food (eat quite a fair amount of protein/cheese). I usually take 4 - 5 glasses (3/4 bottle). It is, of course, also a pleasant way to relax especially if watching the TV or catching up with work or reading. It is a little expensive. But, now I know why my endocrinologist told me NOT to cut alcohol out of my low carb diet! I have to increase the exercise to burn off the extra alcohol calories which is a bind...but it's all worth the effort. By the way your readings sound great - nothing to worry about I wouldn't have thought. I think when we are new to this we obsess a bit.... I know I do... [/QUOTE]
