[QUOTE="Phoenix55, post: 1364517, member: 242273"] Welcome [USER=372620]@Nanny_B[/USER] You will soon get the hang of testing, you are lucky to have been given the kit, most of us have to buy our own. LCHF does seem strange at the beginning but as the weight slowly and steadily rolls off, the numbers drop, and people comment on how good you look you know you have got it right. I lost about a pound a week which sounds very slow but it worked, was steady and gave me time to develop new eating habits which have lasted. Do keep a food diary so that you know which foods raise your bg, the only way to really take control is to test 2 hours after every meal and if you have space keep a note of exercise taken and your mood. Read round the forum and ask questions, we are a friendly bunch who try to help each other and share the joy of success while supporting when things don't work out.
