Do these readings look OK?

Can you tell us if and when you ate during the times of these readings?

They seem fine. Not even non-diabetics have a completely flat line, but yours are without worrying peaks. You only just started this journey, right? That taken into consideration you're doing very well Most meters aren't 100% precise anyway.

The first reading was before breakfast 2nd reading is 2 hours after breakfast. 3rd reading just before lunch. 4th reading 2 hours after lunch
Does that help?
 
If these readings are before and 2 hours after food then they are really good, no post meal spikes. Give it time and the starting point will gradually reduce.

Yes I've only just started this journey. On day 2 of testing, was diagnosed a week ago with a hba1c of 95
Thank you. That's reassuring!
 
Thank you. I'm trying really hard to be lchf. Obviously what I'm doing is working
which is good to know.
Thanks for the heads up about being patient that's something I struggle with lol
 
If I could get levels like this at the beginning of this journey, I would be very happy. Well done, you’re doing great

Welcome to the forum. It looks to me that your diet changes are already sending you in the right direction and the volatility is within ranges that we pretty much all see - especially so early on. Remember that the life of blood cell is circa 3 months so look after the new ones and the sugary old ones will die off...Hba1c falls as a result
I wrote a blog about my first 50 days post diagnosis - it's a rollercoaster at first so this may help and resonate.

Good luck.
