Thanks all grateful for the opinions (useful link catinahat), Fasting BG consistently in 6 territory despite Low Carbing and seeing 4-5 regular during day- for example, evening meal last night chicken salad (same for lunch actually) and a few hours later pre bed reading 5.2- this morning 6? always seems Fasting BS reading is my highest of the day (unless I move from LC which is rare) - haven't seen a reading of 8+ for months so I guess as CatLadyNZ says I need to be patient- I am ok with that
