    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Morning! Hope I’ve not been forgotten ... it’s been a while. Went off track over Christmas, a little too much - old symptoms of fuzzy head etc returned. So today 8.9 :( dreadful but all the Christmas food gone and I’m ready to get back to low carb - I feel so much better. Hope to catch up...

    6.6 today, better. Just going to stick to low carbing, keep off the booze and see what happens!

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Going grocery shopping is often when I get fed up - but I just remember how rubbish I feel after a carb fest - and usually do my shopping online :))

    7.4 again :arghh: I’ve had a good few low carb days so can’t understand it ... Changes: started blood pressure meds (that’s now 119/67 so good!) and given up drinking red wine :) wondering if lance needs changing - honestly don’t do it very often - or the batteries in my meter? Yesterday was...

    Just give it time. I’d say after 2/3 weeks of low carbing you should see a reduction. If I have a carb fest (burger and chips on Tuesday :arghh:) it will take me 4/5 days to return to normal levels. Keep going!

    Try to test as soon as you are awake for an accurate FBG - some people even do it before getting out of bed, I keep my testing kit in bathroom and test just after getting up.

    7.1 .... not a winner today. Good low carb day so blaming it on the cold - either that or I shouldn’t have given up the red wine! Onwards for another good low carb day, sausages in the oven :)

    Low carb Tarte Tatin?

    Has anyone successfully made a low carb tarte tatin? Have guests next weekend and as much as I love a cheeseboard it would be nice to have a change. Am thinking this would be good - with homemade ice cream (I’ll just have plain cream). Thank you

    I know I can get it back under control. Seems I relaxed for August holiday ... that continued into September... then it’s my birthday in October ... ooops! Must try harder :) aiming for sub 40g carbs per day - been more like 100g plus recently

    High 7.6 :arghh: own fault, carb loaded at the weekend and taking a while to shift. Sometimes when you’ve fallen off the wagon it’s hard getting back on (haven’t I said that before?). Off for a swim to help reduce it - ignoring the slight cold which is probably not helping FBG. Also ignoring...

    Thank you @callyandy - finished my birthday week with a curry, and a slice of Victoria sandwich. Started this week with a 30minute swim and am determined to get things in check. Not going to check my FBG for a few days to let it settle down, no point frightening myself!

    7.2 today, it's coming down - even if I had a raspberry tart today. Realising it is very hard to get back on that wagon when you've fallen off .... but I'm going to do it!
