Fasting reading this morning at 8.30ish: 7.0...

Readings yesterday apart from the fasting one, were one 6.5 and then lowish 7s until a bedtime reading of 5.6 yesterday , and readings are similar today - my internet connection was so embarrassed that it disconnected just as I was starting this post...

But I have an excuse today in that I'm feeling a bit off again, and ended up drinking peppermint tea - my late granny's solution for queasy and upset tums!

I wish, if I'm going to be highish again, that those lovely low reading wouldn't sneakily insert themselves in and give me false hopes.

What is ltchf

maybe you mean LCHF, in which case it means Low Carbohydrate High Fat, which is the type of diet followed by many members on this forum.

10.1 Eugh. So Thinking about what I did differently the last two days, my steps were a lot lower as back to work now, note to self walk at lunchtime and offer to do the milk run for the office, on foot. carbs were higher too the past two days, so self control in the office isn't so good either. The good thing about noticing what you do differently is that you can make changes - positive spin

Very true

Lchf is low carb higher fat - lots of info on here about it. For me, I totally went cold turkey on bread,rice,pasta, cereals and potatoes, set a daily target of 30gm carbs- probably a bit harsh but it's given me great results!
