[QUOTE="AllieRainbow, post: 1806755, member: 473025"] Day 8 has started with a reading of 5.0, below the limit for breaking the fast, and the lowest I have got so since I started testing. Depending on whether this goes up in the next hour, or not, I may take the target reading down below 5. I am not sure what to do until I have taken another couple more readings. I am inclined to keep the fast length at 24 hours or more, as this seems to be working well, and I can manage it. I decided in the end to wait until I had a BG reading of under 5.0. At 6.48pm I got the first reading so far in the 4s!! I really feel that I am making progress now, and I am feeling optimistic that I will see some more readings in the 4s over the next few days. I also tried cooking a curry from the Headbangers Kitchen YouTube channel, which was lovely, although I may have been little over generous with the spices. I will be drinking a lot of water tonight! On the weight front, although the weight has gone up slightly today, my measurements all round have gone down, so I think all the exercise is paying off in increasing my muscle mass.
