I put the Freestyle Libre in yesterday evening. It's amazing.
So I went to bed 8.4, went down and then up a little 3 times in the night never over 7.6 and then this:
06:45 woke up and was 6.6 lying in bed.
07:00 I was 5.1, still in bed.
Got up, went outside, let out chickens, ducks, fed goat and cats, put kettle on and had a drink of water... and 20 minutes later (07:20) I was 9.8!!
Going to take me all day to come down from this... Anyone got any tips?
(But I did suspect (hope) this was happening. I'm on LCHF, have ditched all meds apart from 2g Metformin. Don't think I'm in ketosis as I did a carb up (60g) yesterday but I will check shortly)
Thanks
