Good morning all. I had a fasting BG reading of 6.1 this morning after a 5.8 reading at bedtime last night.

Good morning all :)

5.1 this morning :)

PS: 50 days off the cigarettes now (Happy Vaper) :)

Jim, I stopped after over 40 years of cigs last November, been vaping ever since slowly lowering nicotine content.

Well done & keep with it.

6.2 fasting. Been a slow steady rise over the week. Now to got to work getting it going in the other direction.

Well done on the fags @scottish-jim. Outside of Cockney land it's quite easy to forget that people still smoke. Up there you can't escape it especially round the pub exits or just walking in the streets as people nip out of their offices for a crafty gasper.

Ciao

Punched the air this morning with a 6.3. My lowest morning test since being diagnosed and only a week and a half into the LC/HF diet. :D

Bullies, discrimination of any kind, bad manners, parents who let their kids run amok & spoil things for everyone else, unkind spiteful people, being a clumsy clod, toast crumbs in the bed, cold feet!!

Got a little problem folks. Not sleeping great, so got up at 5am....fasting BG at that time was a nice 4.8. Can't eat brekkie straight away, so had a handful of cherries to whet my appetite. Pottered around, But darn it...another stinking headache. That's my cue that my BG is on the slide. I don't get any other classic hypo warning signs apart from the splitting head. Anyway, Lo & behold, I tested & it was 4.1. No meds had been taken. Made some toast with peanut butter, which has helped, but feeling grotty still. No idea why BG is dropping as it is, but I don't like it!!! Any thoughts on how I can manage this more effectively would be very welcome. Thank you all. X

(Oh, if you haven't already checked it out...take a look at the thread below. It'll make you feel good.

Hey, well done you. It's a great feeling when you start to see the results of your hard work paying off in good BG levels. X
