I've adopted a low-mod carb diet and only started doing this a week ago. I bought an SD Codefree so I could self-test and get an idea of my numbers.
Well, immediately on waking / getting out of bed this morning I've tested and it was 6.6 I know I need to get this lower but when having fasting tests at the Drs I'm usually up in the 7's. I hadn't eaten or had anything to drink so I'm going to have brekkie in a bit then test again in about 1.5-2hrs to see how the food affects me.
It's not been easy and my body has been craving carbs and I sat and watched hubby eat some lovely fresh thick white bread last night and resisted the urge to join him!
