Not being able to eat as many chocolate digestives as I used to.
Like the new avatar.... , will the real slim jaym please stand up, please stand up, please stand up.

I'd say your low carbing is going exceptionally well, what did you eat (out of interest?)

Would you say 4.2 is ok?

Yes, it's technically above the hypo level (4.0) and as long as you feel ok and are comfortable with blood glucose that low then it's all good.

In that case well done.. in 6 months of LCHF I have never been below 4.4 so you are definitely doing something right.
Well done.. if you feel ok then carry on.

Hi there, new to this forum. Just wondering how have been your BGs acting since then, are you still in 4s and managing it well with diet? There is something you may need to test, which is the 3 hour reading. In some diabetics sometimes peak is delayed.
