5.3 this morning and eat pretty much the same as my 5.7 , 5.8s I’ve been having all week, anyone else get lower numbers later in the week? Friday seems to be my best day maybe because I get up a hour earlier?

Christmas is coming , anyone know of any low carb chutneys? Can’t find anything myself and far to lazy to make my own!

You need to get on the low carb train, about 20gs a day, your numbers will come down pretty quickly

I went from hbac1 of 54 to 32 in three months , losing 4 stone in the process, and to be honest isn’t that hard when you get used to it. Believe me if I can do it anyone can!

6.4 this morning! Not impressed my numbers don’t go high after meals rarely leave 5s, seem to pay the next morning though [emoji35]

Thankyou, and like you said non diabetics don’t generally test anyway so not sure why that number is relevant

Also that’s very true about non diabetics are not gonna test! And a fbg of 5.8 is considered pre diabetes ? Or am I wrong??

Yeah i don’t stay high for long, generally rarely go into 6s at all, I generally have a decent lunch a snack at 5 then tea around 8, carb wise most of the times around 20g never exceed 50g, more than happy with my numbers it’s just the morning one I find very frustrating sometimes.

Thanks , it’s just I read somewhere that your fasting fasting bg needs to be below 5.6 to be considered in remission ?

Hi all, so my hbac1 is 32 ( very happy with that) however still getting fasting readings of prediabetic. This isn’t always the case - sometimes I wake up to 4s more often than not it’s mid 5s however more than I like I wake up to 5.7 - 5.8 sometimes even 6! Generally during the day I run in mid...

Yeah I have no idea either, sure someone will know .... but yeah I might start giving my wife a little prick in the mornings and if she wakes up I’ll take her blood glucose [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

So I was reading that fasting blood glucose should be 5.6 or under to be considered normal. So would a normal non diabetic person sometimes get readings above this in the morning ? Or would it always be below 5.6 no matter what they ate or how they slept etc..... Thankyou

To be fair after a recent stint in hospital I thought the options were pretty good, easy enough to stay low carb, omelette , full fat yoghurt, salad, veg etc.... Despite that the foods horrible and it all smells the same horrible hospital smell, so I’d rather go hungry anyway

Hello..... just a quick question after losing a lot of weight (4stone) my resting heart rate has risen from 64 to 78 according to my Fitbit , was always pretty active but walked 9 miles yesterday and climbed a mountain this morning so no drop in activity! Could this be down to lchf or weighloss...

Yeah I can see the whole grating thing would be nice , 85% seems to have very little impact on my bg, as long as I only have half the bar

I knew I’d done bad, expected to pay aswell but got away with that one [emoji26]

Anything about 85% is horrible! Just gloops in your mouth. I get my chocolate fix with Hershey’s 100% cocoa with a big dollop of skinny sauce chocolate fudge - 3grams of carbs and no sugar per cup and once you master it it’s a very good hot chocolate

I had this Saturday with popcorn at cinema, I didn’t have any wife did as it was sweet and quite carby, when the film started I couldn’t keep my hands out of it, was dreading testing when home came up 4.6 though! Strange how things react, I want them chocolates though!!

It does although will involve a7 hour drive from Scotland #worthit [emoji51]
