I thought my snack of nuts and square of choco at 9pm May have been the course too but saw no difference when I didn’t have one. However, If I fast for a day they are always a bit lower though. I think I need to give it time and hope my HB1 test is lower overall in 3 months time. Thanks

I am now in my 4th week of low carb. Around 50-70g of carb. During my first 2 weeks my fasting blood was usually between 6.0-6.5 and now over the last week and a half it is usually 7.0-7.5. Is it usual for it to go up before it comes down? I don’t think it can be the dawn phenomenon because...

Thanks so much. I will check those out. Weirdly I did not want any of it until I had one bite and then I could literally not stop eating the freshly baked focaccia bread with butter!! It was white and I think white flour and me do not go well together. My daughter is only 7 and she was at a...

Thanks

I didn’t test after eating it but I presume with so much carbs in theory it should spike my fast reading tomorrow ? Many thanks

Hi that was v helpful. as I’m new to testing just wondering if I could ask how often you’d change the needle. Does it get blunt quickly. I hate doing it too!

Oh dear. I will definitely cut it all out again. I love being LCHF really.

Your head is going to get sore with all this head banging [emoji23]

My daughter was on a cooking course today and came home with jam tarts, freshly made focaccia bread, banana and choco chip loaf and chicken pie with a wonderful crust! I could not resist and nor did I feel it was right to after all that effort she had put in. I am STUFFED!!!! I'm desperate not...

Thanks - interesting

Thanks. Great advice!

Thanks

Thanks. Am slightly annoyed that after reading the diabesity code he didn’t really go into the details like this. So for someone trying to do this fasting thing on their own it’s quite scary. Especially as my doctor is not particularly supportive of a LCHF diet. So I start thinking maybe it...

Thank you. Did you carry on fasting after your little bit of cheese? Since those 2 weeks have your overall sugars come down - so has it had a positive effect on blood sugar in the long run? So many questions! Thank you!!

Good morning! I’m so confused as to why this morning my blood sugar reading was 7.7 and yet I’ve been doing the LCHF for 2 weeks and this is the highest so far. No change in my LCHF diet. I’ve been around 40-70 carbs a day since changing. And I feel ok this morning. I’ve never been over 6.5...

Thanks

Thanks all for your helpful comments! We needed up having curry!! I had chicken tikka with no sauce, a small bit of rice and a little bit of sag aloo. Very nice. I hadn’t thought of having duck so next time I have Chinese I will go for that. [emoji846]

Hello! I’m seeing a friend tonight and she wants Chinese. It’s her birthday so I don’t want to say no. What would be ok to order? Are there any noodles that are better to order? Thank you!

Good idea. Although right now a cup of tea and square of dark chocolate is looking pretty good!

I did eat shortly after and felt much better. So may not fast if I feel like that again. Thank you!
