[QUOTE="ObscureMH, post: 1619803, member: 436796"] Evening all, I've been doing ok on LCHF diet (though probably moderate to high fat), basically over last two months I've avoided bread, pasta, potatoes, below ground veg, beer et al in my daily life. Morning readings average 5.7 (one peak at 6.8), pre lunch avg of 5, pre dinner 5.3. Also, never had a 2 integer raise in normal post meal readings. Avg .9 rise, though lower and even negative in evenings. I'm still only just tolerating the 2 morning Metformin, evening is fine. I really want to reduce / remove these. :( Reluctantly still taking statins, but worried that muscle aches in my neck may be a side effect of those. So, generally happy, awaiting the time I can do next hba1c - early/mid Dec. Lidl protein rolls are still my bread fix, 2-3 times per week, and readings good after them. Finally, experimented with the devil, white bread bloomer - twice - purely in the name of science... 1st time, reading went up 1 integer exactly. 2nd time, and I'd say it was only 30% more bread, it went from 5.1 to 7.3 an hour after, and then to 8.2(!!) after another hour. Preaching to the converted with you guys, but really surprised by the difference from 1st experiment. Been reading round the forums and really impressed by the encouragement and advice you all give out to everyone Until next time... Mark [/QUOTE]
