This morning finished my first fast for over a week. Did 17hrs and was rewarded with a 7.3.
I have never had a fasting reading in the 7s since I started low carb but I have noticed before that after a stay at a hotel - eating much more protein as portion sizes of meat or fish are much higher than I would normally have - that once back home blood sugars do run higher for a while. Although not usually quite as high. I never ever go above 20g carbs so it isn't too many carbs.
I washed hands as retested but reading stayed at 7.3. Still - better the sugar is out of my liver than in. Yesterday was running higher BS all day so not sure why. Was feeling very tired all day - but not under the weather.
Just had bacon, egg, mushrooms and avocado and coffee of course then a bit later will be off to Sheringham Park for a lovely walk with the doggies. Then back to plough on with the course work.
