Better late than never - had problems getting all the readings downloaded to my Contour meter's software. I've combined info from my various posts so (hopefully) I've now got everything in the one place.

Ketonix - moderate
orange ketones
Glucose levels are now much closer to those I was getting this time last year (pre oedema!) - and I had a much better sleep last night, but am verging on migrainey again this morning...
BP 123/56
115/58
My sick day rules say I can stop BP meds so I'll do this today...

(stoppd fast)
BG at 20:06 pre meal 6.2
BG post meal 22:07 7.3
I have had some really bad glucose levels on and off over the last 7-8 months due to stress and ill health, and I don't think that the limited fasting I ended up doing actually made any difference at all to what I'd been seeing.
I've also just done a 24 hour June fast and the results are showing much more stable levels...
