Yesterday morning 6.1 at 6.50am coffee and milk
Forgot to test rest of day has my sister and granddaughter where coming for Sunday meal.
Brunch around 11am gammon 1 fried egg in olive oil.
Evening meal 5 pm 1 roast potatoe,roast beef carrots turnip cauliflower broccoli
I was naughty today had 1 small slice of gateau with 1 scoop of ice cream

Checked bloods at 9.30 pm 5.4 surprised has last time I had any carbs by BG shot to 10.1

Today BG this morning 6.1 @ 6.25 am
After an hours walk with dogs it dropped to 5.8 at 9.30 am
I do intermittent fasting and no carbs eating only between 11 am and 5 pm two meals per day started 6 weeks ago lost 1stone upto last Tuesday weigh in day, weigh myself tomorrow and see what it is.
Finding that not eating carbs and intermittent fasting has helped reduce BG and the bonus is weight loss,well more than that it is fat loss from body I'm now nearly 3 dress sizes down. Feeling really good .K

Thank you Granny Grump - at the mo not yet a Granny at 74 but will be at 75 and so that and the fact that I have struggled with an injury for the past year has made me decide to get back on the keto wagon (never strayed far off it) but egg on toast was creeping in and one round was becoming 2 etc. Your post is encouraging to read especially as this time round I have struggled with what I realise is keto flu and felt so amazingly tired. Hopefully just coming out the other side of that. I try to stick to a similar regime. I control my diabetes by diet first. Insulin second + exercise - I use fast and slow release, I had pancreatitis and therefore make very little insulin. With a very low carb and very moderate food intake I can keep my blood sugar under reasonable control without using insulin - especially with exercise.
Helga - I go through periods of careful measurements and have learnt to predict the effect of food on my BS - the exercise has some effect but more on the weight than the BS. I am 17 years in on this battle but find it really helpful to know the effects of the food I eat. Basically it is connected solely to the carbs and I can counteract 2g of carbs with 1 unit of insulin so if I am going out to eat something out of my eating plan I can guess on the carbs and counteract - so counting carbs fairly accurately and keeping a record for at least a week will help you gauge the meds if any you need to control your bloods.
