6.3 for me. Got my back door open already. Going to see my doctor today. I see the diabetic specialist one at my GP once a month for monitoring. Last time I was there we had a nice chat about shoes and dodgy sizings.

Hope all goes well

4.4 this sunny morning.

Accompanying young son as parent assistant on school trip to twinned school in a Manchester suburb - contrast to sleepy Cumbria!

6.1 this am
Been on holiday all week but still managed to keep the carbs down (does red wine count?)
Last 6 days has been:
4.9
5.2
6.6
5.3
6.2
6.1 (today - after a long drive home)

Dry red red (and white) wine is low carb but there are a lot of calories. Sweet wines and some sparkling wines should be avoided although was pleasantly surprised to find out that Prosecco can be low carb.

Nice with bacon...

6.0 this morning - got to bed after 1.30AM and was up again before 6AM. Quite a large (but low carb) supper and quite late also. Nevertheless, cycled 9 miles and walked for an hour too.

Having lost pretty much all the visceral fat around my middle, I've found I can tolerate carbs better now so tried a bit of a experiment last night:

I had a chicken tikka (with salad) from the local takeaway which isn't too bad, but added a chapatti (couldn't resist!). Reading before was 5.2. The highest my blood went was 7.2 (after 45 minutes) and it was 6.4 after 2 hours.

Was a bit nervous about this mornings reading but it was 4.9 so it looks like my hard work over the last 7 months or so really has improved my tolerance of carbs. I have no intention of going back to my old way of eating but it's nice to know I can cope if I have to

Last sentence: good stuff Phil.

Excellent result I'm not quite there yet but the numbers are definitely getting better so you are added inspiration!
