7.1 when I woke at 6:10. Would be happier with 6:0, but as all during the day yesterday apart from morning fasting level were 4s and 5s, I’ll settle for that.
You're still a winner then as fasting levels are just a pain at times

9 this morning

If I remember you were in double digits sometime back... if so, I think you are progressing...all the best... stay focused... marathon, NOT sprint... cut carbs wherever possible... good luck

Hmm thanks. I got into double digit only once a long time ago. I hover between 6.8 and 9.8. 9.8 especially when I don't care about my diet. Last weekend was such a lot of parties and high carb food throughout. Thanks so much

I see... for some reason I remember the 10.8 readings. Anyway good luck and yes controlling carbs in social situations can be challenging....

Woke up to the same number as when I went to bed ... 6.8 ... Not terribly happy but not getting too bogged down either. I will be seeing my doctor today with my latest tests. They show my post eating numbers being good but fasting still on slightly higher side...

My cholesterol profile has improved significantly since last test. HDL up, LDL down (but still a bit higher than desirable) and triglycerides are significantly lowered.

Vitamin D is well in desirable range. It was quite low, which is a shame considering i live on the equator with sunshine all year round.

Doctor should hopefully be happy with the progress. My main point is - if I could get off the gliptin (onglyza) that he put me on a while ago. Let’s see. Good day everyone
