If I am around 5.0 on awaking and then I do another finger prick 30 minutes later, I have dropped to about 4.5 or less. Anyone else had this experience? This happens almost every day.

Unfortunately, it doesn't. You will still be able to spread the virus, even though you may not have COVID-19 yourself. This is a widespread misunderstanding of what the vaccine can do for you (and the rest of us), and is a very dangerous view to take.

Many thanks for welcome!

Hi, 5.4 this morning. Average fasting, daily over last 2 months, is 5.35, but would like to get HbA1c to check whether I'm still diabetic or maybe just below? I don't want to trouble doctor just now - will have to wait until Covid slows down.

Agree entirely. You could not have put it better. I hope to be as near the front of the queue for vaccination as I can get, as I am 83, T2D.

Yes, I didn't mention the fats. I eat quite a lot of butter already, but if I eat much more then my cholesterol will probably go through the roof. I didn't mention two or three other things, like salmon fillets and white fish in cheese sauce. And two beefsteaks per week - the total protein...

Lots of eggs, cheese, chicken (often home made curry), sweet potato, green beans, gnocchi with courgettes, rice cakes, and a loaf of seeded bread per week. Plenty of fruit - grapes, pears, oranges, satsumas etc. Also 2 squares of no-added-sugar dark chocolate per night. Also a handful of nuts...

Yes, Everyone seems to want to LOSE weight. I'm 6 foot 2 inches and weigh 11 stone. How do I keep to a low carb diet and PUT ON WEIGHT??
