[QUOTE="jjne, post: 2425396, member: 544975"] The only real difference between weekend and weekday is work, so I suppose stress (more frustration at present!) could be a contributing factor. Sadly the initial euphoria didn't last as my sugars are back on the upward slope again, although I do seem to be back down to the 7s each night - so I'm assuming that is the new "set point" but whatever mechanism is pushing glucose back in (and I'm not entirely sure it is dawn spike any more as I stayed up very late the other day and the levels spiked back up *before* I retired for the night - it seems like some kind of rebound / reaction to the level lowering) is continuing to do so. No, no cheat days :) The nearest I get is the occasional block of cheese mid-afternoon when I'm supposed to be OMAD. I know, shoot me... As an aside I think I need a new set of bathroom scales. Mine are cheating I think - they show a value to 100g of precision but step measurements in blocks of 700g! Cruddy cheap Amazon junk lol. So I appear to remain precisely the same for a few days then go down a kilo and a bit. Aye right. [/QUOTE]
