You took your meds again didn’t you? And didn’t you lower the amount of bread you ate and a few other tweaks?

Did you do a re-test to see if it was a rogue reading? We all get them sometimes.

Baby steps are better than none and will get bigger with practice and it seems they are all helping :)

Perhaps it just shows you what improvements can be made?

I don't know bud. I was feeling weird, drinking one cola after another (coke zero) and thinking extreme thirst is a sign of a hyper innit, but then I chacked and it was 6.5! Go firuge!
