[QUOTE="OzBlossom, post: 2326239, member: 402514"] Sorry, that's my Fasting Blood Sugar (early morning reading before eating). I think that I would totally ignore anything from strips so out of date as you mention! My device is the ACCU-CHEK mobile and it won't work at all on an out of date cassette. Remember, as others have commented, that your morning reading is likely your highest. I tend to find mine is going up between about 6am and 8am and then down again by around 10.30am (Dawn Phenomenon), all before eating, but that's just my morning pattern. Good to see your interest in the Blood Sugar Diet. In a similar line and as also mentioned by [USER=196898]@Oldvatr[/USER] , I'm currently doing an intense stint of not only low carb but low cal (<800 per day) using the Michael Mosley Fast800 program, but am tweaking it slightly to keep it under 20g net carbs per day in line with some original research and aiming for at least some days closer to 700 cal (Prof Roy Taylor's original research). It's tough - well, especially the first few days where I wanted to rip off one of my own arms and eat it! However, the huge changes in my blood sugar readings are powerfully motivating, especially when you can see that reading multiple times per day and see exactly the impact of what you are eating. Hunger also settles remarkably quickly as your body changes into ketosis. I'm looking forward to my next GP visit in about another month and going 'neener neener' (in more sophisticated terms)! ;) [/QUOTE]
