[QUOTE="stuffedolive, post: 1527869, member: 65903"] Hi, I'm new to this thread. I've been diabetic/pre-diabetic for around 15 yrs and just controlled everything with diet & exercise just using my Hba1c to monitor things. I moved to a LCHF diet a few years back when my Hba1c crept up to 48. 42-44 is my normal. I've now decided to start monitoring using a finger prick BG monitor each morning. I plan to monitor for 10 days, make a dietary change and monitor for another 10 days to see if there is any noticeable effect. My first 4 days fasting BG after waking were 6.1, 6.1, 6.5, 6.1. The 6.5 was the morning after a 70mile bike ride where I ate much more carbs than usual - museli, 1.5 wholemeal pittas, ham sandwich, 2 cakes, oops. I could monitor during the day too, but would that help? I think taking the big picture may be the best route for me, hence just looking at my fasting BG. Does this make sense? [/QUOTE]
