[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 594575, member: 88961"] Your numbers have reduced really well, and in reality, the difference between 7 and 8, as a one-off is nothing to be concerned about. At your stage in your diabetes journey, there are so many factors that could impact on a number, but I have to stress a variation of 1 is not a reason to panic. You need to look for trends. Thus your current trend is significantly downward, with one out lyer, the 8. Keep on tracking and see how it goes. Whilst your changes are great, you may be able to shave more off those numbers by tweaking your diet further. Whilst the NHS advice is to eat lots of carbohydrate foods (cereals, pasta etc), many diabetics find they actually do much better by eating less of those foods than the NHS would naturally recommend. It's similar with fruit. But, we're all different, and it's trial and error to get out personal diet right. On a final observation. Are you enjoying eating salad for two meals a day, or does this feel very much like being on a diet? Do you usually eat salad in winter? There are loads of meal ideas in a thread called something like, "What you have eaten today?", and in the Low Carb section of the forum. [/QUOTE]
