[QUOTE="Swiggy, post: 1418896, member: 374098"] Thanks [USER=179219]@dunelm[/USER]. Yes I have been keeping a food diary since last August and was also recording fbg every day. I started lchf and joined the forum on 26th January. I also started testing before and after meals on the advice of forum members. After your post I have been looking at my diary and noticed that my fbgs were all in the 7s in August and September, every single one of them. In October they increased into 8s and then steadily climbed into the 10s and 11s by Christmas with a few 12s between mid December and mid January. I was recording everything I ate and I don't seem to have eaten huge quantities but I had my fair share of Christmas goodies so I can see a reason for the increased numbers. Since going lchf my fbg has definitely come down and, now that I am testing are and post meals I know that I very rarely have a reading 2 hours after eating that is more than 0.5 higher than my pre meal reading. I am so glad that I have been keeping a record as I can really see a downward trend now that I have had a good luck at the figures. When I was 9.0 this morning after what I ate yesterday I was absolutely convinced that I was doing something wrong but now I can see that I am getting results and it is definitely worth sticking with.
