Cheers guys! Sent from my iPad using DCUK Forum

Well, today I have seen the 'next stone down' for the first time. That was nice. Then, my 'before' bg earlier was 4.5. Yes, 4.5. Down from 16.5 at diagnosis 4 weeks ago! Hurrah for new numbers! Sent from my iPad using DCUK Forum

Thanks for all the replies and reassurances. My eyes still aren't right, but my bg readings are averaging 7 now, and things are becoming more stable. Fingers crossed that my eyes come back - I am not enjoying wearing glasses to read at close range! Sent from my iPad using DCUK Forum

1 week in, and I've just had my first day at what I consider "normal" levels. Fbg was 12.2 (I think I must have high morning levels). After lunch was 7.7 [emoji4] After dinner was 8.0 [emoji5] I've followed the LCHF advice, stuck rigidly to a decent diet and been more active this week. I'm...

12.2. Bit gutted that it's not coming down faster, my diet is so restricted!
