4.0 today for me.

When people who know nothing about the LCHF diet tell me I'm killing myself being on it. I was killing myself not being on it!
Forgot to check when I woke up!

6.5 very slightly up at 11.30am

A fasting day today :) nothing to eat until after my zumba class finishes at 7.30pm LCHF plus fasting is working it's magic, weight down after being stuck for a while and no real rises in BS :)

Thank you for the kind words my friends.

Unfortunately I binged again, amidst the tears, and today it is 14.2.

Am determined to get back on track today. Honest.

Give yourself time to grieve, it's only natural to feel so sad. You WILL get back on track soon. Don't kick yourself whilst you feel down. Just try to eat a little less of the bad (but good!) things each day. You will get back onboard the wagon again soon and getting great BS results soon. xx

I think I overcompensated for my high this morning and after my almost zero carb lunch and 2 mile walk I'm on 3.7
Got the shakes and usual **** feelings brewing :hungover:

Well, I'm not sure. My mornings still aren't right yet. My very low after lunch was my fault in try to lower my bs, which was too much meds.

I'm struggling to get my mmol down I am between 13.9 & 22mmol anytime I am testing with the nexus meter.. Trying to control it is harder than I wish. I'm not on meds. I'm eating healthy, started exercise again as had procedure before... it's scary & just want it down... my aim is to reverse it.

Hi. Just wondering if "eating healthy" is a diet which would be considered healthy by people who are not diabetic (say some NHS staff giving out bog standard non-individual specific advice..or whether it is what the average Type 2 on this site would recommend. What are you eating?
