6.9 this morning, hopefully things will start to get better now

Good Morning! 6.9 at 0545 today.
A bit higher than usual. I think it's because I hadn't defrosted anything from the freezer yesterday, and as it was raining I didn't want to walk to the supermarket so I had wholemeal pasta with pesto last night. Fish tonight so should be lower tomorrow.

Good Morning! 5.2 at 0730 today.
After Sea Bream fillets, 4 new potatoes, broccoli and spinach last night. The 3 glasses of Merlot might have helped too.

there are lots of pasta types to use instead .. I am fond of the japanese zero pasta made of konjac plant it doesn´t taste of much but is really great in spicy sauce no bad taste at all and as it is almost zero carb it is also great for weightloss and keeping blood glucose low

I love this as well, and the rice version xx

6.1 is pretty good.
If you have cut out carbs then have a look at how much protein you are eating.
I only eat twice a day (about noon for a brunch and then evening meal). If you don't like that idea then perhaps have a go at home made broth.
Have a search on some other threads and see what has worked for other folk.
Walk - do some fast walking.
Don't punish yourself.

I am struggling to get my morning fasting levels lower by sticking to a low carb diet but I don't seem to be able to maintain a steady figure. They have come down form 13.7 in March to an average of between 6.8 and 8 but vary every day. it was 8 this morning but I was awake at 4am with such a bad headache I had to take some painkillers.....it is still hanging on. Any suggestions as to how I can stabilise the morning figure any better.
