Morning All

4.9 for me this morning - lowest I've seen for a while.

Just got back from my "non-urgent" Docs appointment where I was told my cholesterol figures too.

Seems total is only 3.4 and half of that is the good stuff!

Not quite what I was expecting from the LCHF regime....:)

Sugar, in all it's iterations.
Morning! my BG is 6.5mmol/L on waking up. I've been off the glyburide 2 days now as per M.D. and pharmacist. I had a mug of bean n bacon soup before retiring last night.

The Gym, + unkindness and rudeness
Today it's 6.8 for me and a dark, rainy morning here.
Don't be ashamed @RYU Hope you have an especially good day (with low post meal readings )
