Me too @Goongergal. It's frustrating isn't it. X

Hi @Swiggy

Very frustrating, but keep persevering - the last week or so my fasting numbers have really come down. 5.6 this morning, my lowest ever. I started reducing protein and increasing fats. Hasn't affected weight loss but blood sugar numbers have improved.

When people who know nothing about the LCHF diet tell me I'm killing myself being on it. I was killing myself not being on it!
After a 5.7 yesterday evening I was a high 8.0 @ 4.30am and even worse 9.2 @ 7.30am
Feels like I'm starting with the flu/cough type virus that is going around here which lasts for about 2 weeks. Bad timing as I have a 2 day long drive to go to a family wedding next weekend.

That's fantastic news @Goonergal I am delighted for you. Here's hoping mine do the same. X
