Same - I was up between 3 - 4:30 or so bimbling around online. Glucose at the start and end of that went from (from memory) 5.6 - 6.7. I had water and caffeine/everything free herb tea. Properly getting up at 7:30, after really not much more sleep. 4.6. I wonder if my blood has a sugar party...

73.5kg today. Still holding steady, I like that a lot. I've now lost 40kg since I started monitoring back in June last year (7 months or so). All I need to do now is ... well, nothing really. Steady as she goes.

5.1 on the new meter this morning, 4.8 on the old. I reckon those numbers are close enough to be considered the same, and I am happy that the new one is showing higher - I'd rather have high estimate than low. I'm happy with those numbers.

4.6 (on the new meter) after a decent night's sleep. Onwards to the day!

Why do you need to eat breakfast? I went low carb as soon as I got my pre-diabetes diagnosis and one of the joys of this way of eating is that I no longer feel even remotely conflicted about not eating breakfast. I never liked eating first thing, it was always a chore, now I just eat one or...

Which would be easier to work out if I'd set the time/date on either of them ... I tend to use the finger prick readings as a guide rather than gospel. Given my (lack of) diagnosis I don't need an absolutely accurate number.

@Ryhia Edited to add: Just out of interest which was the lower number? Safe AQ or your other meter? I wish I could remember ... I'll do another side by side comparison at some point. But both of them are Sinocare so I would expect to see random variation. This morning I got a 4.8...

That's why I took two readings from the same drop of blood ... if only I could remember which meter gave which reading I'd be golden ... :banghead:

The two readings I got were within margin of error (quick and dirty 'seems about right' calculation in my head) so I'm not too bothered by it. Not sure what units you're using there though - a difference of 15 (5 - 20) would be huge, or did you mean 1.5, which would make more sense in UK units.

It's a Sinocare Safe AQ - I got my first meter after a search on Amazon, before I found this place, but the strips are ~20p each which is OK.

4.8 this morning. Probably. I have a new meter but am using up the supplies for my previous one, tested the same drop of blood on both this morning - 4.6 and 5.1, so I'll take a vague average.

I did at least finish one book and make a start on another ... there was little point trying to sleep for me at that point.

4.8 today, 6am, iffy night's sleep. I swear if I ever get a full night of decent sleep my numbers will be heading towards the negative ...

I bought a meter from Amazon before finding the resources on here so I picked more or less at random. I have a Sinocare meter, the strips are about 19p each (edit - just looked and they're currently 22p each) It seems to do the job perfectly adequately. So far as I understand all meters sold in...

Small experiment this morning - 5.6 when I woke up at Really Stupid o'clock to nip to the loo. Later - at the time I usually measure and record 4.2. I am not going to routinely stab myself in the dark when I'm at best half awake so 4.2 it is.

4.6 at 6:30, but (yes, despite the time stamp) I had a good night's sleep. Sleep is good people, I highly recommend it.

I'm bored with the lack of sleep. I seem to be able to reliably manage only 4 hours a night. After a week or so I manage a few more hours then back to the 4 hours. I've been LC since June last year, but the sleep has got quite bad more recently. There is other stuff going on that is probably at...

74.4 this morning. Still basically holding steady, which is pretty much fine for a while. Still want to lose about 3kg but no rush. Working on increasing fitness rather than rapid fat loss for a while.

5.1 at 4:30 and 4.7 at 9am. With not a huge amount of sleep from about 3am onward. Bored with this nonsense now.

My cousin has been playing for a few years, he loves it. I keep failing to find anywhere for us female types to play.
