I must be the odd one out (there's always one), my bg this morning is 5.8 and I'm 48 hours(ish) into my fast.

I'm in a right cranky mood this morning :wacky:;)

Hey it is actually a fine number for one very resently diagnosed, you are doing the right things your numbers are in the normal area, and those you compare with have been doing low carb for years maybe , it takes time to exhaust the liver from its producing glucose

Good morning Diabetes Massive. It is a bright sunny day here in the fens. 5.2 this morning so control of a kind.
Firstly. @Goonergal has set the standard very high so a challenge lies ahead for me. @HarrisonK your numbers are amazing for the stage you are at and by doing this you are laying strong foundations for the future. No building lasts without good foundations and many take a long time to get out of the ground. @Mbaker you continue to inspire me and as Frampton said show me the way! I hung out with the cool kids for 24 hrs and learned loads (who knew about the GKI) so I am up for a proper trial once I resolve 2 issues.

Nope @flexi06 good points you made. We lost my sister in law way too early to breast cancer; my mum had it and my mother in law had it but has survived nearly 40 years and is going strong. Anyhow, @alf_Josiah (Hee Hee™) probably read it as breast screemingo_O

5.1 great. I still cant string 2 days together with all 5s ( 2 hours post meal ) . Almost any food in the late afternoon/evening results in a 7 before bed. So thats my current diet/regiem, ie to find the balance of calories/ carbs excercise and food timing that keeps my BG in 5s all day.
Have a good one.

Hi @Canvaspic,

Have you tried having two meals a day, one in the morning and one later in the evening? It might be worthwhile experimenting.

Regardless, your blood sugar results are great. Really well done.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion.
I have managed 2 meals a few times. Its difficult, I shall try it today and report back.
My BS are good. The MySugr app on my phone gives me an estimated hba1c of 33, vs the blood test done last year of 38. So neither number is particularly troublesome. The reson for the big effort, is to fight off an infection i have for the past couple of years. I want to keep my numbers as close to “normal” for 2 months to see if i can effect a change.
