Hey guys,
I finally remembered to do a test first thing this morning for the first time since I started low carb.
I used to only do them if I felt weird to see if my sugars were low or high.
Anyways, my fasting result this morning was 5.1, is that a good fbs when doing low carb?
Thanks.
 
Sounds good to me. If you are taking any medication affecting your blood sugars, do test yourself more often to make sure you don't go hypo and if you start to be regular with lower readings, you might be able to reduce your medication levels.
But you do need all those readings to back it up...

That is a brilliant reading keep up what your doing. Wish I could get my readings like that in a morning:)
 
You can be very happy with that sort of result! :):)

Have a look at this thread for daily records of what levels other people are achieving.

Oh I was looking g for that thread as I thought I'd seen one before but there are so many forums here I couldn't find it. Thank you.
Thanks for all the comments. That has made my day. I already had to stop taking my gliclizide as I was having hypos with readings of 2 within a week of starting low carb. I'm still on metformin tablets and bydureon injections though.
