Good stuff. We’re all slightly different. Perhaps my protein tolerance will continue to improve over time, but currently it definitely has a small effect on my morning numbers. Probably not enough for most people to worry, but I’m super fussy

So confused , 8.9 after breakfast no exercise , then had chicken for lunch and an hour walk just took sugar and it is 7.9 , fluctuating . Is this normal when first doing the low carb diet ?

Are you also testing before you eat? It is important you do. It isn't the finishing level that matters so much as where you started and how many mmol/ls you went up. The higher you start the higher you will finish. The aim is to keep any rises from before to after down as low as you can.

I do understand it is very difficult for you to test due to your phobia, but to be blunt, random tests are not really telling you anything and you cannot learn from your results. I suggest you try testing first thing in the morning, as soon as you get up after washing your hands. This is your genuine fasting reading. Testing randomly after a meal and comparing the levels isn't helping because each test is done following different circumstances such as exercise or meal contents. If you stick to testing your fasting levels regularly you will be able to compare them and see if they are coming down. That way you only need brace yourself for a test once a day. Eventually, if your phobia improves, you can try the before and after eating tests.
