So here is a sequence of my whole day averages from Nov 22-25 2015: 4.725, 4.975, 4.975, 4.875 with fbgs of 4.7, 4.8, 5 4, 4.6. From July 17 to that date I had lost >25% of my peak bulk. IMHO the weight loss and entire ecosystem/environment were and remain the key to my personal T2 control. Elsie is a massive inconvenience (read PITA) but stops me eating much - the "swaps" are awful (usually <1880 cals, often <1700) therefore manages weight. The current ecosystem is incapable of consistently delivering those returns however LC I go. Key point: Life changes, bg control is affected, stick with it and roll with the punches.

Well this morning I tested with libre reader the libre app on my phone and with finger stab.

reader was 5.1
phone was 5.2
and finger stab 5.0

very consistent and almost ideal numbers for me.:)

Only prob is an hour after had the reader bleeping low glucose warning and insisting I was now at 3.8 swings and roundabouts close the doors they are coming in the windows.

:woot: Thrilled for you, Sir. @PenguinMum @DJC3 have another thought to hang onto each day: The Lord hath chastened and corrected me but he hath not given me over unto death. Choice of Lord is entirely your own. Y'all know mine - it is what it is.:)

Thanks for the thought. I liked yesterday’s better though.

5.7 at the moment. It’s ridiculously early, I’ve given up trying to sleep again now so I’m listening to the podcast What Rhymes with Purple. Very entertaining and I recommend it to other insomniacs.
