Got a 4.8 at bedtime so re-tested to make sure. ******, it was 5.2 so had to average! Still pleased though because I had some pastry for tea at 7-15
5.2 this morning
I have also lost another 1lb.
Bluetit, I found stabilising my weight far harder than losing what I needed to lose. I've had to promise my OH that if I lose any more I will take positive steps to re-gain it.
Don't forget these are averages of the levels you have tested, and will only be of use if you test different events in similar numbers - ie as many post meals as pre-meals/fastings etc.
You're impressively on the ball titty!

Hi Rusty, welcome.I guess I am not doing too well in comparison to many of you. Assuming I am doing this correct readings are between 6.2 & 7.1 but how do I get it lower if I try to reduce evening food intake I end up waking about 0400 hrs. Starving for food.
Which is why some kind of spreadsheet is essential to store all the right information and enable valid conclusions to be made.
I don't think I'm ever going on holiday again. 7.0 this morning - grrrrr - although that was partly down to eating late and eating more chilli con carne than I should have (even with a reduced bean count) so the protein impact obviously lingered. Frustrated I went out for a fast 40 minute walk before breakfast, dropping off all the fortnight's wine bottles at the recycling on the way, came back it was 7.2 - double grrrr.
There better had be something wrong with those strips ... New ones should be waiting at home tomorrow.
OK , we will believe you, not enough water, or RED wine? Sometimes it has to be done .Another probable factor is I haven't been drinking nearly enough water (stop sniggering at the back). Not sure how the meter would have gone faulty but if the new strips don't change anything I'll get a new battery and if that doesn't work will have to consider a new meter altogether.
