When was your last meal before your fasting count at miday? It is generally not a good idea to go too long without food. You only get more hungry and overeat/eat the wrong food as a result when you do have a meal. Especially breakfast should not be missed

Maybe you do, but I don't!
 
I wasn't so much fasting as waiting for my wife to return home with the fish. I had 2 boiled eggs for breakfast.

Sweet and sour at 6pm and now 2 hours later I'm 10.5

Nope. I'm on a low carb high fat diet. I don't feel hungry ever, at least not ravenous, uncontrollable hunger. Just before lunch today my stomach was growling quite loudly, but I didn't feel hungry. In fact, I went for a half hour walk before eating my lunch. I don't have any "wrong things" to eat, like a Black Forest cake stashed in the back of the fridge, so I'm not worried about that.

Can you point me in the direction of te low carb choccy cake recipe please?
 
I was 6.2 which is high for me. perhaps the worry of having my GTT today. So 6.2 to start with 5.9 after 2 hours. Does not sound very diabetic. Bit worried about the 18 after 1 hour. that does not sound normal and is unlikely to have been my actual peak. @Andrew Colvin may have been right though.

The term fasting assumes you had nothing to eat in the previous 8-10 hours, so normally it is only used for the reading one takes first thing in the morning.

As the name suggests sweet and sour sauce is not the best choice for a diabetic to make as it contains sugar and usually bids of pineapple (in syrup?).

Yes assumes is correct.
 
6.7 today. I had to get up and pee and 5am, didn't test then, but got straight back in bed. When I woke at 7.40am (late) I felt tired even laying in bed. I think I liver dumped. Just had my egg and cheese omelette so will be back in the 5's in the next 2 hours. I have noticed that about every 10 days my morning readings go high and gradually go back down over the next few days........I wonder if my body chemistry has a pattern....hmmm, here comes the plotting.

I will search for that as I've been eating less meat of late - in fact I don't buy meat anymore, just fish (sorry fishes) though I will eat it if it has been made for me (have always liked meat and figure that eating what they have made for me isn't going to bring the animal back)

Well I started off at no more than 20 g of carb a day...by day 3 I was in ketosis. I buy ketostix that test keytones in your urine. They are approx £6 a tub of 50 but I cut mine in half so get 100. I also have a borrowed blood keytone meter that is much more accurate...then after 6 weeks or so I didn't need to test anymore really. I could just "feel" the fact I was in ketosis. You also get a feeling in the back of your mouth. Hard to describe....more energy. Better sleep alert ect. Feeling of well being not to mention weight loss fast weight loss too in my case

That's when you are burning body fat isn't it?
