When I went to bed it was 4.9 when I woke up it was 7.1 and got a bad headache
 
That's not a big deal ... your BS are OK .. but the headache needs some rest and quiet time. Get well
 
Drinking water or tea will usually fix the headache @trudy1, we need lots of fluid to keep well and our BG levels down Hope the headache has gone now?

I've been drinking water and the headache is nearly gone. Maybe I'm not drinking enough through the day
 
Yes, could be that Trudy. I hadve a big jug I keep in the fridge and try to drink it's contents each day (1.5 litres) that's in addition to my 5 mugs of tea. You could give it a try?

Thank you for your advice. I've just put a jug of water in the fridge and will take a bottle of water with me to work later
 
@trudy1 - Hello:). The more water you drink the better, it helps to flush out your system and stabilize glucose in the bloodstream and keeps you hydrated too.:)

Didn't know it can stabilise glucose. I've not really been told anything by my doctor. I'm kind off doing it blind and using my meter for guidance. I started LCHF yesterday and my readings were good. I think I'm muddling through. Thank you for the reply will make sure I drink plenty
 
@trudy1 - I look at this way: when I drink (2 glasses of water at any 1 time) I am diluting any blood sugar that's in my system and also flushing out my kidneys too.
Don't be afraid to ask questions if in doubt about anything. We are all here to help one another.:)
 
I always know when I am not drinking enough my BG level goes up took me a couple of times to realise it x
 
Thank you so much. I'm so glad I joined this forum everyone is so friendly and helpful. Thank you once again

I put 2 slices thinly cut lemon and lime into a water bottle and 3/4 fill with cold water and put it in the freezer overnight. In the morning I top up with cold water and that defrosts slowly throughout the day and I always have chilled water at work. Do the same for home. I have one bottle in the freezer all the time.
