... and 5.8 for me pre dinner

Best result ever. Seems like a lite lunch agrees with me :)

Hi peacetrain, you have done well, has this mainly been through diet & exersize and were you on the LCHF or did you do the newcastle diet.

Thank you. Last November my HbA1c was 115 and I was prescribed 3 x 500g Metformin daily. That, along with diet and exercise (walking daily), helped me a lot. I began LC around the end of January. Also my fat intake is between 65 and 75 %. Initially I kept below 50g carbs but nowadays I'm more between 40 and 80g with the odd 100g in a day. Having said that, I can't get away with too much and I never eat pasta, rice or potatoes. I have 1 small slice of burgen bread 5 days a week and I never eat cake or biscuits. I do have 85% chocolate sometimes. I eat lots of olives and oily fish. 2 eggs a day during the week. Full fat greek yoghurt and lots of nuts. I also eat cheese, mainly feta or mozzarella.The only meat I eat is chicken. Fruit will be berries.
I stopped my medication at the end of May and that's why I'm happy. I haven't done as much walking since September but I'm on my feet all day at work.
I just posted my result because I know others start high and I wanted them to know that things can get better ... Just like others did for me.
Thanks again. :-)
 
6.2 here. Too many nuts at bedtime or the pain, or the annoying sore throat. Take your pick. I may just blame the inch of frost outside!! Ouch. Cold.
 
6.7; 4.5; 5.0. Nope, not Olympic scoring, just my fasting readings. Retested as I remembered the porridge "incident" from yesterday. Hands were clean when I went to bed but didn't wash them b4 test. Washed and got more in line wth my expectations
 
5.6 this morning- a little higher than of late. Was wide awake at 4am listening to the wind and rain here and feeling really hot, keeps happening- dreaded hormones ? Ironic as it is what prompted my visit to gp back in June and resulted in me joining the crew here!!

I keep verging on sore throat cold ethyl.....was expecting a frost here as forecast but at 4am it was wind and rain! Hope your pain subsides - no anxiety episode ? It's one of the things affecting my daughter at the moment and I'm concerned of course
