Post all that naughty Christmas food I was back to 5.8 today :) feels so much better - although I did enjoy the Christmas food!!

Morning! Hope I’ve not been forgotten ... it’s been a while. Went off track over Christmas, a little too much - old symptoms of fuzzy head etc returned. So today 8.9 :( dreadful but all the Christmas food gone and I’m ready to get back to low carb - I feel so much better. Hope to catch up...

6.6 today, better. Just going to stick to low carbing, keep off the booze and see what happens!

Going grocery shopping is often when I get fed up - but I just remember how rubbish I feel after a carb fest - and usually do my shopping online :))

7.4 again :arghh: I’ve had a good few low carb days so can’t understand it ... Changes: started blood pressure meds (that’s now 119/67 so good!) and given up drinking red wine :) wondering if lance needs changing - honestly don’t do it very often - or the batteries in my meter? Yesterday was...

Sorry for delay. I didn’t make this in the end as the plans changed. Still on my list!

Yay, 5.7 today ....!! Let’s hope the 5s continue - going out for Full English brunch soon so try will make good choices :)

Just give it time. I’d say after 2/3 weeks of low carbing you should see a reduction. If I have a carb fest (burger and chips on Tuesday :arghh:) it will take me 4/5 days to return to normal levels. Keep going!

Try to test as soon as you are awake for an accurate FBG - some people even do it before getting out of bed, I keep my testing kit in bathroom and test just after getting up.

7.1 .... not a winner today. Good low carb day so blaming it on the cold - either that or I shouldn’t have given up the red wine! Onwards for another good low carb day, sausages in the oven :)

And up we go again ... 7.5 :angelic: Am still fighting an awful cold/cough thing so maybe that’s impacting - was a good low carber yesterday :)

6.4 today, almost a 5 :)

Finally ... 6.4, we are getting there! Off for a long swim now.

Super, thank you!

Has anyone successfully made a low carb tarte tatin? Have guests next weekend and as much as I love a cheeseboard it would be nice to have a change. Am thinking this would be good - with homemade ice cream (I’ll just have plain cream). Thank you
