My readings have been fairly good as well even though I've had a fairly 'carby' week - had staek and chips on Wednesday and was 6.8 at 1 hour and 6.5 at 2 hours. Also had similar readings on Friday with lasagne and salad. The highest my FBS has been this week is 5.1. I've never been very low carb as I have always been able to eat small portions of seeded bread, potatoes and cereals so perhaps that's the reason.It's been like this all of the week.
4.8 yesterday FBG
4.6 before dinner, Haddock, salad of rocket, watercress, radishes, avocado, olive oil dressing, glass of red wine.
Stiff 35 min walk.
4.6 2 hours after.
4.2, FBG
The only things I've changed are, more walks, not had yogurt for breakfast, probably eating more cheese and stopped snacking on almonds.
Off to make a pot of tea, do some work and watch "MoD"....
Sad to relate, looks like DUFC are done and relegated...
Wish all a good Sunday.

Those are excellent readings. Are you on any medication? I can't tolerate yoghurt in the morning, it pushes my readings right up although it's fine later in the day.
If you look on Greetings and Introductions Forum you will see a thread called Ethos and Forum Rules- by Givenchy. I've had another read of it and it's very useful for understanding what happened on fbg thread. I think everyone got so cosy that we forgot that this isn't a social media site?
@hankjam we are all green with envy, not only are your levels super low but they are consistent, which is what we are actually all aiming for. Level readings with little fluctuation is what makes healthy bloods. It's a shame when people get so hung up on low numbers, I'd be pleased with my blood sitting around 5.8 all day instead of some of the mad ranges I have Yesterday my readings ranged from 3.9 after exercise to 7.1 after dinner though other were 5s. Anyone else have this problem?
7.0 this morning happy with that its coming down slowly.......very slowly!
I had a strange one last night I tested at 6.30 5.2 happy with that then got distracted And totally forgot to eat (THE joy of LCHF hey!) 2 hours later I put The steaks on And retested to find I was at 4.2. Even though I felt absolutly fine I did have a minor wobble about that as I thought "Arrhg thatn too low"
1 hour after eating I was much happier when I retested at 5.4.
I have to say THE 4's scare me a bit I like to Bobble along in THE 5's during the day.
@Daphne917 those bgs are brilliant!My readings have been fairly good as well even though I've had a fairly 'carby' week - had staek and chips on Wednesday and was 6.8 at 1 hour and 6.5 at 2 hours.

Thanks @PenfoldAPD I was a bit upset but you know I couldnt leave my lovely diabetic family.@ickihun I'm just catching up with the fbg post messages. PLEASE stay, as a newbie I find your posts so useful and helpful. I'm hoping you will, after just 3 months here you are one of the regular post'ers I value and respect.
I'm now wondering if my post this morning broke the rules

Nice numbers @Lindy1706 if I'm not drinking wine it is cold water from the tap... unless it is an expresso!I have never been a huge drinker so I have not dipped my toe into alcohol at all at the moment....so good old water.
I always make sure that I choose a more fat cut like rib eye and eat it with a rich fattier cheese, we like St Agur and a good slug of mayonnaise with the salad.
This trends to keep any spikes to a minimum.
Interestingly I have just looked at my weekly averages and my issue is the morning fasting reading. My average before meals is 5.6 and my average post meal is 5.7 which I am very happy with.
What's wrong David? Tell your palsType 2 life? At the moment it's miserable!
I am exactly the same lindy Ive stopped my coffee only habit and have been drinking tea since I went down the lchf path - how very odd!@hankjamI have gone totally off coffee and have converted to Yorkshire Tea, big mugs of it with a splash of milk builders style.....do not seem to be able to get enough of it...very odd as I was never a tea drinker!
I have tried to cut out every high carb food I can think of (I desperately miss bread but never eat rice, pasta, cakes, pastry, etc), I only ever drink a moderate amount of whisky, I exercise more (perhaps still not enough) and my BS readings, when compared with what I see on here, seem alarmingly high.What's wrong David?
