@PenguinMum - bit of a drastic way of finding out if penguins can really fly!! Glad you're OK.

Did you test before you went to bed? And what was your last meal?

Thanks @ianpspurs - first reading afterwards (about two hours later) was 6.1 then down to 4.6 after another five hours so it doesn't look like that was the cause of the high this morning.

About six and a half, but rather fitful - dropped off about 11, up for a pee at 1.30 and then half awake from about 4.

I try and limit myself to 30g a day, but I usually only eat one meal a day. Others go lower than that I think, but it's mainly about finding a way that works for you. Good luck!

Ah Ah, I wonder ... had my flu jab yesterday - could that have affected things? How long would it take to affect BGs if it did?

A rather depressing 9.1 at 7.10 am (bedtime reading was 6.0 at 10.40 pm). Looking like it's going to be a lovely day here so going to head out for a walk to try and lift my spirits - take some stuff to the charity shop - and maybe start another fast to try and get things heading in the right...

And there's the hat-trick! Well done @ally1

Getting there. Just wish I knew where there was though!! Keep going with what you're doing - you can do it!!

Brilliant - well done!! And you're right - sucesses need to be shared and shouted from the rooftops. Keep up the good work.

About five and a half ... which is better than the four hours I've got most days this week. Don't seem able to stop from waking up early though.

Higher than normal, but still bloomin good. Hope you're feelig better soon:nurse:

It sounds like you're doing well to me @RuthP I've been on a similar journey - put on insulin five years ago, switched to metformin about a year ago and came off it about three months ago (my choice). For me it's been a mix of weight loss (over four stones gone), more exercise, cutting carbs...

6.8 at 7.10 am. Bedtime reading was 5.8 at 10.55 pm. Back in the 6s after a few days of 7s and 8s - onwards and downwards!!

7.8 at 7.15 am. Bedtime reading was 5.6 at 10.40 pm. Fourth day in a row I've been over 7 - 7.8 on Monday, 7.6 on Tuesday and 8.5 yesterday but none of the bedtime readings from the previous day were higher than 6.2. Had three rough nights as well - waking up between 3 and 4 and not being able...

About four and a half hours. Midnight before I got to sleep, woke up about 4.30 needing a pee and couldn't get off again!

@Goonergal - you're an inspiration!! Very well done indeed.

7.6 at 7.15 am. Bedtime reading was 5.6 at 10.50 pm. Second day in a row in the 7s - wondering if I'm coming down with something, but also stressed about a couple of things and not sleeping well. Ho hum!
