Thanks but this Monday morning 14.6 Slacked off
Try again, you'll get there........ tomorrow is another day... and a lower number :)

Not so easy to start with but it does get easier - you've got them down before and will again....

6.3 at approx 5.25 am and up slightly to 6.7 when i woke again 5 hours later...

Nice low 5.9 before supper last night - first strip of new batch; I hoped maybe this meant I'd had a wonky batch last time round :D but I'm back up again with all today's tests. So much for wishful thinking! :wideyed:

7.5 for me this morning. Still paying the consequences for yesterday's mint jelly on my lamb me thinks. It was down to 5.9 before lunch though.

Back to recording after taking a couple of days off. I was so discouraged when the numbers refused to stay in the fives that I didn't feel like posting. However, today the figure dropped a bit so I'll catch up.

Saturday: bedtime 5.7 fasting 6.1
Sunday: bedtime 6.5 fasting 6.2
Monday: bedtime 5.5 fasting 5.5

I know but I think it was due to med. change. Doing small runs watching my foods intake almost no carbs. I'm 218 pounds have to loose at least 50 but thanks Clive .

Very limited carbs is half the battle but keep an eye on protein too - this can also turn to blood sugar. Seems like a ketogenic diet would be right for you (best discuss with your doctor) in which case probably around 30g carbs and 100g protein as the targets but almost as much (good) fat as you like (no trans-fats and try to limit Omega 6 fats).

I wouldn't have expected that to raise your bs much, especially not in the longterm but just shows how differently we all react to things.... But you dropped nicely so you can breathe again now ;)

Congratulations,@Baruney, how did the feet go? I can imagine you having the Malbec in your bath. What a sybarite!
Put cream on your feet and socks when you go to bed, it is supposed to help.
Well done
( no, silly, not cream on your socks )
All good on the feet front @ Merrylizard1314. Good old epsom salt soak in the bath afterwards. Still have a cheese craving some have to go hunter gathering for some blue to go with some more red!

Oh, don't... I love a particular cheese called Gambozola, and when you mentioned having a hankering for a blue, the longing just swept over me...

BTW, if you were looking for a blue in Australia, you'd be looking for a fight or a punch-up, but I can tell you are not that sort of person, they'd probably only be looking for Kraft slices

And now I have totally ruined my ND record, by joining in the eating of roast buttered chestnuts, the first of the season. Scrumptious.
Thank goodness the rest of the sack will keep for a long time in the fridge. A friend grows them, up in the mountains.

5.3 this morning, two cups of strong Earl Grey, with Coffeemate before bed didn't help much for sure. :)

Spent 2 years in oz as a young boy 8/10 years old due to dad's job and as affectionately know as the only pommey b't##d in school reckon I can look after myself one way or another.

Currently testing the reward/punishmentioned scenario on bg between blue cheese aNd red wine. Will let you know how I get on but red wine is winning at this point! And if your going to sin maybe better for you than chestnuts???

We shall see.

Hope your fantastic numbers continue now can concentrate on piling up some nice consistent (downwards) numbers. Liking the variation between nd and lchf. Nhs eat well followers feel free to post away.
