Morning all, 5.8 this morning.

Yes noticed having to go to the toilet more often, and I will try adding a touch more salt to my food.

Thanks for the quick reply, no, no extra salt, in fact I have been cutting down on salt, maybe I need to re-think that.

Hi all, I am a T2 and not on any medication, diet control only. I have been on a low carb diet for a few days but have noticed that recently I am getting a mild headache first thing in the mornings, any thoughts ?
