Can I ask how you make your cheesecake?

I had to see my Optician yesterday - just over 3 weeks into LCHF diet. Vision very blurred. My prescription has gone up considerably in both eyes. BUT because I wear monthly contacts, they are very easily cahanged and I can see clearly again. I'm well aware that in a few weeks my prescription...

Well I started with an FBG of 7.2. Had some porridge with ss milk, sweetex and 3 strawberries and 2 hours later 8.7 :arghh:

Mine was 7.2 so gradually coming down. Was also out for a meal last night so not too bad.

Didn't realise you're a Geordie too! Mine was 7.5 so going down very slowly. I had some seeds and a ricecake before bed.

Another sweater here - day and night. Have suffered for years due to the menopause, and was taking double strength HRT, which caused my Pulmonary Embolism (blood clots in both lungs) Had to stop my HRT but the sweats weren't too bad. Since going low carb the sweats are worse - al ot worse. Wake...

I know that I've just started testing, but immediately a pattern is emerging. FBG is always 1 or 1.5 higher than my reading at bedtime. Can anyone advise why this happens and what I can do to bring it down please?

Was 6.5 before bed and 7.6 this morning?

You're doing well! I've been really good - eaten 1/2 HP Lidl roll with 3 x scrambled eggs Quorn mince with veg and courgette spaghetti and my reading was 7.8!

Can I come for dinner please?

Thanks - glad the rolls are OK. Still trying to work out why I'm higher today though

Well I had 1/2 a roll toasted with 3 x scrambled eggs with a spoonful of Philly. Also had a peach/ 2 hours later my BG was up by .8 - is that OK? I'm a little unsure because my readings today have been higher than yesterday when I started testing, and I've no idea why.
