Thanks for that info and the blog link. Can someone answer why it is that I can actually have a lower blood sugar result AFTER eating than before. This morning first thing it was: 8.4. After my morning run and before breakfast it was 7.7 and then two hours after breakfast it was 7.4. I would...

Hi, I have been trying a low carb diet and at the moment I'm battling bread. however I have managed NOT to eat bread or any other white carb for a month. however my BS test this morning was 8.2. I'm really shocked and concerned as I seem to be unable to bring these numbers down. Any ideas??

My BS test this morning was 8.2. Yesterday I ate two meals: Lunch with salami and cottage cheese and evening meal of salad with small amount of chicken pieces and feta cheese. Breakfast was coffee with cream and throughout the day sparkling water. So what's going wrong? I have been doing this...

Hi this morning I was 7.6. I'm not happy with that as I went to bed with a reading of 7.4. How can it have gone up over night? This is my first week of careful testing and diet (LCHF).

OK. However the vegetarian element is problematic. Today first thing test was 7.8, then pre breakfast was 7.7 then two hours afterwards was 6.4 . So I assume that the 6.4 is OK and I should feel alright if I can keep it there.

Hi thanks for the diagram. however now I find that the figures written down for me on the booklet that I fill in when testing are as follows: 4-8 Fasting, 4-8 Pre food, 6-12 post food. nothing on what it should be before bed. So these numbers don't match thos you have described. so I don't know...

Yes it was 45 and the year before it was 50. That is on the HbA1c test.

Thank you for your information. I am still trying to understand what makes my blood sugar go up. For example on waking it was 7.8 and then an hour later when I was preparing breakfast it went up to 8.4. I had'nt eaten anything! Then another morning it was 10.1 and by the time I took the Pre...
