I am loving all these 4's and 5's on here and so envious of any low reading. Just lately I have been eating like an anorexic rabbit with mainly salad stuff and total carbs less than 30g but still only managing to get starting readings of 6.6 yesterday and 6.0 today. Next week I will probably...

6.5 today.The sixes are OK for me, as five once in a while is good but not sustainable and never sure what i did to achieve it.

6.5 this morning. BBQ last night, food nice and low carb, drinks not so much.

6.1 today. Amazed that so many others still being advised of the supposed benefits of high carb breakfast items. I had the same advice just a year ago " eat plenty of porridge, it's good for diabetics as it is slow release." For some that may be but it shoots my BS up straight away and stays...

A welcome 5.7 this morning, also away from the old wives tales but well meaning dietary advice of some of my relations.

Tested early this morning as away with family and a surprising 5.5, but it was at 0600. Had a small toasted wholemeal slice of bread toasted olive oil margarine which tasted like engine oil (and yes I have actually tasted engine oil in the past.) Tested BS approx 30 mins later and got a whopping...

6.8 for me, better than expected as late test due to not getting up until later. Slept great and never heard the thunder or the rain. I think my straw garden lawn has at least appreciated the recent storms.

7.1 again today, fairly low carbs but not a good sleep which might explain things. I wished I could maintain a very low carb regime like @OrsonKartt and others but it is very difficult eating with family cooking. Despite this, before this forum I was previously on I reckon 200g carbs per day...

7.2 this morning, struggling to break the barrier and get into the sixes. Keeping the carbs low and the exercise high but sadly has to be something else at play. All part and parcel of T2 diabetes, keep marching on.

Going the wrong way today at 7.0 Had a low carb day yesterday and plenty of walking out in the fresh air (just over 11 miles on fitbit) but sadly not reflected in lowering BS readings. Is fresh air carb loaded???? :D

Threatening the fives but still missing the target at 6.1 Not too bad for me though.

6.8 today, better nights sleep. A bit cooler but quite humid so swapped one condition for another, Hate to say it but really need some rain.

Only way I can get the fives is testing before 5 o'clock. Got a 5.7 at 0415 but rose to 6.6 at normal get up time. Not a practical solution for me so have to keep working on the carbs.

Got up early at 0430 to turn down the fan and tested as awake 5.4 Later on getting up as usual around 0700 testing 6.5 Have to take the higher reading as that is normal rise and shine time but just goes to demonstrate daily trend whether Dawn Phenomenom or just my liver shovelling out the...

7.0 after awful nights sleep, had a fan to try and keep a flow of air but although not exceptionally noisy it was enough to keep me waking up every time I finally dropped off and light at 0400 which didn't help. Thinking of moving into the fridge tonight and keeping door shut.

7.4 today, better than expected considering post beer, noodles and sweet'n'sour at 2300. Basically breaking all the low carb and meal time eating rules but great night out with friends and work colleagues. Just once in a while have to leap off the wagon and live life. The only problem is I...

6.7 to start the weekend. Chinese takeaway tonight so not expecting to continue the downward trend.

6.7 today, slowly coming back down after 10 day carb crunching.

8.4 today but did "pig out" yesterday as last full day away and really bad times today before flight home. Also got more of my fair share of mozzie bites after sitting out late in the bar. All my own fault but likely a one off---until next time of course ;)

7.4 to start the day. Back home later in week so looking for better numbers. Wishful thinking.:banghead:
