Good Morning to all you wonderful people, seeking a little help???
had my meter since Friday have now committed to using it to eat, first reading ever was 26.6 and over first 3 days got down to 16.4 and now a steady 11.4 to 13.8 doing this around 4 times a day at the minute 1 in the morning before I eat anything which today was 11.4 and now just done one and all I have had today is 1 mug of black decaf coffee and reading is now 12,6 I can not seem to get lower than 11's - I also have Ulcerative Colitus hence why I don't eat first thing find it easier that way, yesterday ate very little for lunch just a slice of egg pork pie and I mean just a slice, for dinner roasted a slice of salmon and had that with a bit of broccoli. I have always been a big eater, to be fair love my food, is it possible that by not eating as much (what I am eating now is like fasting really I am hungry even now its only 11.50am I usually go till 1pm with a couple of coffees) so is it possible by not eating it is affecting my readings? I thought it would of dropped to under 10 at least by now?
