    6.2 this morning. Unsurprising since I was high post-dinner (8.2 higher than I’ve been for months): the cook thought raisins in the fennel salad was a good idea… :(

    6.0 this morning - it's humid and hot here, well 25 C anyway which is a mild spring morning for the locals and too **** hot for me!

    Type 2 Morning phenomenon and Remission

    Congrats on your success! It does seem like you’re coping with the changed diet. If you haven’t used the Libre 2 free trail yet, perhaps it’d be worth enrolling? Two weeks of continuous data should confirm your typical glucose profile through the day and whether you are a “dawn person“ ;) My...

    If you get a high reading before you are due to eat do you skip or delay your meal?

    I don't, no. If I delay eating a meal when I'm hungry, I get a liver dump, so my levels go up anyway (and the urge to have a carby snack gets stronger). Instead, I make extra sure I keep the carbs in that meal as low as possible. Doing this, I've found it's not uncommon for my 2hr reading to...
