I was diagnosed a week past today and have been "properly" low carb since Monday. (Monday readings were all 9, 10 and 12s)Wednesday my readings were either 6 point something or 7 point something with my first ever 5.8 before lunch. I think "right we've cracked it here we go."Thursday  Similar to Wednesday although breakfast was 7.3 before and 8.2 afterNow today my waking up number is 7  and a couple of hours later before breakfast its 8 How does that work?I only had 20 carbs yesterday and my dinner last night was only four or five carbs.I know I sound really impatient and I've lurked about enough to know I should be grateful for the numbers I have but I really want to get everything below 8 and  I don't understand  the sudden  8 before breakfast when I've been rally low carb for 4 days.I suppose the question is-  Is there a period of time things need to settle down? Am I just impatient? Could anything else make the numbers go up? Finally on 3 occasions my numbers have been lower after my meal than before. How does that work?Thank you for being patient with this wee fat middle aged diabetic who wants to be in remission "NOW"</blockquote>
