7.2 at 5 am I wish there was a shoulder shrugging icon

6.7 at 6.30am today

7.3 at 6am and 8 by pre breakfast 8am... disappointing after 5s and 6s all day yesterday but its still early days and I'm getting my head around the dawn phenomena stuff.

5.7 at 6 am (11days low carb and the first time its been below 6.... exciting)

That made me laugh. I hope that's okay.I'm thinking I'll just have my family bring boiled eggs and cheese when they visit.

When we we were kids it was "why did the apple turnover" Thanks for tips I think it will be mayo all the way.

Hi Carol Thank you for your thoughtful response I'm actually not really worried about the test itself, rather the horror of them finding something. I had a "thing" many years ago that is diagnosed through hemorrhages in the back of your eyes so I get the big fancy eye tests every two years. Its...

Yes ! I intended and allowed for two squares at the end of a very low carb dinner but when it actually came to it one square was perfect and I put the second away. I only mention it because in 40 years of calorie counting its a first.

This may be a really silly question but does it follow that if you've had a "safe" meal several times where the numbers have either stayed the same or dropped, having that meal with the low carb treat at the end then testing would be a reliable test? Thanks

Thanks Kenny. I see lots of posts with people eating one or two meals and I'm struggling a bit to get my head around it. Last weekend when breakfast was 9am rather than 7am I really wasn't ready to eat at lunchtime. I not forced but pushed myself to eat yoghurt and berries at 2.30pm because in...

All the low carb alternatives I ordered are starting to arrive and its exciting.....cheesies and 100 percent chocolate and brownies. There are even 0 carb peanut butter cups. I think someone said to only eat three meals and I understand I could have them at the end of a meal like a "pudding". To...

Thank you. I needed that

Thank you. I recognise the truth in everything you say. I'm just a big scaredy cat (hypochondriac) who is not dealing very well right now.. The appointment letter for my first diabetic eye screening came to day which is a whole new level of things to worry about but I really appreciate your...

Paul. Thank you. This sentence came at exactly the right moment for me this morning. I thought I was taking on board all the dawn phenomenon info but yesterday my numbers were 6.6 before breakfast and 7.2 after and I was really pleased.This morning the before breakfast 8 was disappointing. I...

I'm still very new to the game and sometimes a bit overwhelmed with everything. Caring, supportive posts like this make me well up. I'm so glad I found this forum. Thank you

Thank you for this. Three weeks, WOW. I'll be one week low carb on Monday. I've only been using it for five days but my meter has a function on it that works out your average BG over 7 days. Over today and yesterday the average has moved down point by point from 8 to 7.2. I know its to early...

Yum just yum

So....... We went for breakfast rather than lunch because I couldn't wait to experiment. 2 fried eggs 4 rashers bacon 1 beef flat sausage 2 pork link sausages 1 spoon chopped tomatoes tea with milk I think between 6 and 10 carbs but I'm not good at estimating yet. Numbers were 6.6 before and...

YES !!! Thank you

Extreme suits me for now. I want to be sure I CAN get low numbers. I'm sure when I feel "safe" I'll start trying more and more to work out my limits. Thank you for helping me feel okay about it.
