I'm not diabetic, but have been monitoring my blood glucose of late in an effort to understand my present state of health. Overall, things seem pretty good, save perhaps for a strange pattern I've noticed with my blood glucose during the morning at weekends. I exercise every weekday morning...

Although I'm not diabetic, I recently cut the vast majority of added sugars from my diet, as well as many starchy foods. As such, I have ended up with a diet that is relatively low-carb compared to most people, with no more than 150g on most days, with most of those from fruit & veg, lentils...
