3.9 am fasting...again :)[/QUOTE

Dear Clivethedrive,
When you say that you are fasting, is that a normal overnight fast, or are you fasting at other times throughout the day? I ask because I read an article by Dr. Michael Mosley, where he recorded very low BGLs after fasting for four days. But on second thought, you wouldn't be doing that anyway, because of driving so much. I'm a bit silly, sometimes- these are enviable numbers - well done!

When I have berries I have a few less than you, but I add chopped nuts and seeds, gives a bit more protein and less sugar. I use Total yogurt, but i have read that some people mix the yogurt and cream (not sure if I like the sound of it but it seems popular!). I also read that someone uses the frozen berries to mush them more into a jam type thing to mix better with the yog/cream. Also, i don't know if I am right, but I test 2 hours later, so hopefully your reading would have been even lower… have fun using the meter! :)
