Tonight at 9.30pm I tested before supper and my meter read 4.8. Looking through my notes this is my first 4-something :happy:. I am aiming for between the 4s and 5s so I'm over the moon. Though now I've had supper - 1 slice of stoneground wholemeal with some chicken slices it's probably a little higher now, but it's given me the boost I need to carry on lower carbing - and even lower carbing. At least now I know I can do it with a bit of care. I'm so happy I could celebrate with a bar of choccy - but I won't ;).

Just wanted to share...
 
:joyful: that is so cool!

Yes, the low carb diet is amazing, working for me as well.
Give yourself something nice (healthy) as a reward, maybe some new cologne, or, body cream.
You deserve it!
 
I remember my first 4 so I know exactly how you feel. It was sometime before I got another one but when I did, it encouraged me yet again. Later, 4s made more regular appearances.

You are obviously on the right track, just keep it up. You can't hurry things - your body will adjust to the new diet at its own pace, but as you can see, it does follow what you are eating.
 
When I woke today my BS was 7, which is improved by a point or two.

Agree ... I found the same thing

Great result Beshlie :)
 
aww well done thats great news xx
 
On getting up today my BS was 6, which I am happy with.

Because of stomach pain and nausea through the day yesterday I'm cutting back to 1 x 500 Metformin for a few days (in the evening) to try and get things to return to normal, otherwise I won't be able to eat at all.
 
Congratulations! Reading your post really spurs me on to keep low carb-ing and hopefully I'll see a similar result soon! Well done and keep up the good work, so pleased for you. Best of luck x

Hope cutting back the Metformin works for you. Please keep us posted. ;)
 
Well, still on the 1 Metformin and doing OK on it. My BG levels are normally in the 5s and 6s with a 7+ sometimes 2 hrs after eating. I do have a 4+ now and then. If I go to 8+ I know before I test because I get dizzy and grumpy!! But on the whole although I do get grumbly tums my eyesight is better and as I lose weight I feel better in myself, but the biggest change has been in my memory. Before lowering my BG I was getting worried about my memory!
