Yes,...............................................................................................................................................................................until next time..
Do you ever find that your fasting blood sugar goes up without real reason that you can find? (e.g. no change in carbs, exercise, etc.)
I had been getting readings in the low to mid 80s mg/dL consistently for several weeks but this week I am back up to the low 90s. No dietary changes and same exercise but different result. And now a trend in the wrong direction...
Are you using the same brand electrodes/test sticks and from the same box/container.? Eating at the same hour, same protein sources ie animal origin or vegetable origin. Maybe you are eating close to your upper limit of prorein intake?.
Sometimes I experience some differences , but all within the allowed limits of accuracy for home testing glucometers .
I need to be be VERY VERY strict with macronutrient control to maintain good and stable BG readings.
Same meter and strip type. I have a new package of strips but was still getting lower reading when I first opened the package. I have another meter that I sometimes check my regular meter against. The readings on both meters aren’t the same but the trend seems consistent. (First was down and now is up again).
I have noticed that higher protein effects my fasting blood sugar. Beef effects it more than fish or vegetable protein. In the past, if I ate beef for dinner, the next day fasting would be higher, but then go back down the following day.
This week has been different. I have had four days with readings over 90 mg/dL in a row. I am not so concerned with some reading in the low 90s, but the trend is up.
I am also not seeing my blood sugar drop as much with exercise. For a while since I started testing, exercise would drop my blood sugar into the low 80s to mid 70s. (A couple times into the high 60s.) Recently I have been in the high 80s or low 90s also after exercise.
What macro nutrient targets do you set to maintain good BG readings?
Any tips how you keep your levels FBG so low. I do like bread.86 mg/dl = 4.78 m moles/l

Thankyou for your reply and feedback. You are right you have to work hard to achieve anything.No magic I can assure you, just keep carbs as low as you can, moderate protein and enough fat to maintain energy levels. No snacks and of course no bread , pasta or rice.Its that simple, but simple does not mean easy, it takes a bit of getting used to. Just start with small steps and you will most probably see your numbers drop. Best wishes for your efforts.
Hi there Granny..... ....started smiling.First thing in the morning is 125 mg/dl (5.9 )good or bad? I’m new to this and struggling with what’s good and bad for me
