[QUOTE="Shas3, post: 2070073, member: 501900"] At the cost of oversimplification I would say your numbers are no reason to panic but definitely a good idea to start making some changes. Numbers fluctuate a lot and getting lost in detail at this stage may not be necessary in my view. Following below may help while you get your head around all these measurements. A) Cutting bad carbs (processed/ refined flour stuff) and sugar to almost zero B) limiting quantities of so-called-good-carbs to smaller portions and reasonable sizes C) if cutting carbs is leaving you hungry or weak- increase a bit on protein and “good fats”. Don’t be scared of good fats. D). Avoid all so called “low fat” nonsense E). Limit fruits to one serving per day and vary them over tine to get variety F). Exercise regularly. Doesn’t have to be super rigorous but pushing yourself and regularity are important- 5 days a week would be great With your numbers the above should be good in my opinion while you monitor your numbers, without obsessing about every individual number and slowly you will understand how to interpret the numbers. I used to initially measure at random times and get worried or elated. Best approach is (even though many may not agree) - take one wake up reading and after 2 hours of eating a meal. I wouldn’t recommend “every” meal either. Maybe the heavier meal of the day, which has the higher carbs.

For now I would say panicking is unwarranted while actively making sustainable changes would be great Good luck [/QUOTE]
