[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2118224, member: 501623"] I know what you are saying because I have noticed if I had any carbs before bed I would wake up with a fasting in the 5s rather than 4s. I have one thing on my side at the moment and I'm sure it helps me get away with more than I would if I weren't doing it - breastfeeding. But I haven't started any kind of serious exercise regime since having babies over the past 5 years (and never really was one for the gym) so getting myself moving into some kind of resistance training is hard when I'm sleep deprived and still healing from pregnancy and birth. I only had a salad for dinner last night and just now had a morning fasting reading of 4.4 mmol. Which is the lowest it's been in a good while. If I keep fasting while up and about it tends to go up into the 5s again, which I guess is the liver trying to empty itself a bit more. But so far I seem to have gotten away with yesterday's naughty lunch. At least I hope anyway... Edit: an hour an a half later I was still fasting (about 12 hours) and had just breastfed again and tested expecting to see the 5s, but I was 3.4 mmol... I'm fairly sure my liver can't be empty so I don't know how it works when your body lets you go a bit on the low side instead of feeding itself - I've only seen a couple of 3s in this postpartum period so must be to do with breastfeeding, but I also had something in the 3s about 4 hours after the GTT too. High 3s are still normal and healthy though, aren't they? [/QUOTE]
