    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...

You can also record your glucose numbers in the Carb Manager app if you're using that for carb counting. My fasting reading in the morning is normally the HIGHEST of the readings for the day... as...

    Which route to take?

    I found keeping below 30g carbs per day but eating as much protein and fat as I wanted so that I wasn’t ever hungry put me in a calorie deficit. In fact, after a little while I began missing the odd meal because I simply wasn’t hungry. I didn’t worry about salt tbh - as I lost weight my blood...

    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...
