[QUOTE="AllieRainbow, post: 1970293, member: 473025"] A good result today for fasting blood sugar - 5.8 this morning. Day one was 8.4. There is a downward trend and by the end of the 8 weeks it should be a a lot better than the start. I am feeling a lot better for kicking out the carbs and sticking to under 20 per day, and have a lot more energy than the first week. My mood has been very even, and I am still feeling very unstressed compared to last year, which seemed like one long stressy nightmare most of the time. I am fasting today, as I am not feeling hungry at all, and I will see when I want to break the fast, whether 24 hours or longer. At the moment I am carefully listening to my body and eating when hungry, and stopping as soon as I feel that I have had enough, just before the satiety point. Carb intake has been going down steadily, and is closer to 10-15g most days. Update - I ended up not fasting all day as I felt that I needed to eat, but got the lowest reading so far for BG this time of 5.2, so something is working now to get the levels down. At the start of January I was looking at 7s and 8s or higher all the time, and now I am looking at mainly 6s with the odd 5s and 7s. [/QUOTE]
