4.7 this morning :confused:

That's the highest it's been for my morning readings this month.

Beginning to wonder if my meter is faulty!

(Still on the Newcastle Diet)

Hmm, had scrambled egg and a few blueberries with Fage full fat yoghurt for breakfast checked just before lunch and it was 8.1, think the blueberries may have to go :D

I think the same Tm6t7, I was 8.1 after my Fage yogurt and blueberries from a 5.2!! Didn't even have loads of berries :(

@MissPooh it's a shame as it was nice, I'll stick with some cinnamon on it now :)
Have you been doing anything different to get your fasting number so good?

No Tm - it's been sitting around 6.0 - 6.5 lately, today was a fluke I think, unless it's a new trend for the coming week. I have been walking more, like much more, so I'm not sure if that's helping.

I guess the exercise does help, I'm a bit lazy on a Sunday, so guess I'll have to do more everyday!! :)

Lying on a beach all day, arrogant/rude/superficial people, not being able to get necessary help from health professionals
