Sorry - three white bars - when tapped they give you the screen showing your notifications that I posted first

@maglil55 I was testing when I got up and then just before breakfast 15 minutes later and getting similar numbers to you - now I just test when I get up and two hours after breakfast - as long as it isn't too high then I just assume that there has been a spike art some point but my body has...

Been for a long (4.5 miles) walk this arvo around a local wildlife bird sanctuary. Popped into Morrisons which is close by and bought some reduced price hake with Thai sauce for Sunday lunch. Before evening meal my BG was 6.2 - lowest I have ever measured :-)

Brain seems super sharp :-)

Hi there I'll tag @daisy1 who will add some info to this thread for you to read. I have been a type 2 for several years but my sugars were slowly creeping up. I decided to try eating the Low Carb High Fat lifestyle since mid Feb and my sugars are slowly coming down. This is only one approach...

No problems with BG after this so ok for a packed lunch if necessary :-) Think chopped tomatoes may be off the menu ... I had eaten all the other ingredients before but I'm up at 8.8 two hours later from 7.3. Of course it may be work related stress (about three reams of A4 paper to read and...

I basically chucked my courgetti in the wok with some butter for about 30 seconds and then served it - it's probably OK with a thickish sauce but otherwise definitely on the watery side

Scrambled egg with smoked salmon and mushrooms Lidl roll with egg mayonnaise (being daring with the roll to see how the carb goes at lunchtime - could be handy for packed lunches) Hairy Biker's sausage casserole with low carb sausage and beans on the side for hubby - I had adapted it for...

Slight change of plan - had 1oz of macadamia nuts so 4 g carbs (thankfully hubby is good with figures to have worked that out!) 0.2 rise after two hours so must have just been one of those things yesterday. Slight wobble before tea (6.6 felt really hypo) so had four half pecans Tea ended up as...

Bacon, one egg omelette and mushrooms in butter Avocado and 6 macadamia nuts (had some nuts as a snack yesterday while out - and didn't have my meter - was high before tea so checking the nuts out today) Beef stew, celeriac chips (4), cabbage and Brussels in cream

What a good idea! I poured my gravy off the slow cooker and blasted it for five minutes in a saucepan to reduce it ... Bit of a pain!

Low carb eating seems to have reduced my hot times - now if I feel hot and check my BG it is often slightly raised so I suspect there may be a link

There is a thread in the low carb section called 'what have you eaten today?' I'd link to it but have no idea of how to do so on the app! If you have a read of it you will find lots of ideas to eat for breakfast and lunch as well as other meals and snacks. I often have omelette or scrambled...
