5.4 I'm with you beatdise, similar figures, but throw a 3.9 & a 6.0, not generally first thing out of bed but within 10/15 mins.

Not complaining its a lot better than averages when I was diagnosed in May 2014, which reminds me have an appointment for
Blood to be done 5/2/15, 1st since diagnosis, will be interesting to see if my efforts are rewarded with a better reading.

What will be will be, keep safe everyone.

I always feel unwell when my bgs go into the low 4's, start shaking and sweating

Me too... I thought it was because I was empty... It may be that it's too low for some people and we naturally have a higher reading than some people...

As are we all. Was it in "sweet" vinegar, normal vinegar or without? May be worth testing with one of others you didn't have?

What if it's not in any vinegar? Or are we supposed to pickle it? I can't eat it roasted...

Still feeling glum today, and rather nauseous. BG 9.1 on rising, but took it an hour ago and it's gone up to 10.6! Even though I have had nothing to eat due to nausea! What's going on there? I would have thought it should go down naturally without food, or is that just my ignorance of the condition? Any ideas anyone?

All you have done is extend your fasting time, which can trigger the liver to produce extra glucose to keep you out of what it thinks is starvation mode. Its just the liver dump most likely, plus a bit from stress and illness maybe.

Being told “Oh go on, one won’t hurt you!”.
Conversely, the food police.
7.0 up slightly from bedtime reading of 6.7 but dramatically down on readings while on statins and HCLF of around 11.

Thank you all you knowledgeable and caring forum members.

I hope you feel better soon... it's horrid not knowing what you've done wrong - especially when you feel sure you've done nothing wrong... I always feel guilty... stupidly....

How do you know when you are ketogenic though... I am guessing I am as I have steadily lost 6 kilos, but now I've stopped - I'm getting too thin so that's good - but am I still ketogenic? I rarely eat carbs, other than what is in the low-carb veg I eat....

Good stuff Diana :)

6.1 here at 6 am for an early start - a bit disappointing after 4.5 > 5.6 for dinner last night.
