Just out of interest Clive, do you ever experience hypo symptoms and if so, at what level do they kick in?

5.8 at 6.25am when I woke.

Couldn't get back to. sleep again so scoffed coffee & cream and a piece of my fat ball variant: coconut butter and oil slab made with added cocoa, powdered erythritol and peppermint essence - a sort of melt in the mouth low carb version of After Eight mints. Finally went back to sleep and snoozed again most of the day. I'll have to set every alarm clock I can find as I've got my 6 monthly review with GP at 9.20am tomorrow morning. Hopefully he'll agree to another HbA1c so I can check my predicted results against it.

Bkfast was coffee, a few nuts and spoonful of cottage cheese. (I wasn't hungry but just ate these to avoid liver dumping.)
Two hours later, bgl was 8.7
What am I doing wrong? Not enough breakfast?

Hello v4 victory, well done on your controls, i find that keeping nice and consistent with meal times and portions help to moderate my livers output of excess glucose....but this is what our livers do..excrete excess glucose until we are back to " normal" so steady as you go,keep posting and let us know how your doing, clive

Thanks Clive. After the 8.7 reading I sent a message to the liver to stop dumping. The message consisted of 3 rashes of bacon, half a small avocado, a small egg, and 3 slices red capsicum. I think it worked because 3 and a half hours later the latest reading is now 5.2. I guess the liver got the message. Lol!
