Good Morning! 5.0 at 0620 today, after half a bottle of Merlot last night. Perhaps I should drink half a bottle every night? :)
 
9.5 - but that is what happens when you ignore sound advice of online colleagues and eat sugary bikkies. Off to dig the allotment to teach myself a lesson.

My fasting blood sugar continues to disappoint and perplex me. Bedtime reading at 11pm last night was 6 - the best I've had so far. So I went to bed feeling pleased and hopeful that the fbs this morning would be the first in a new trend of low numbers. But alas it was a 9. I had a spoonful of cottage cheese before bed to prevent liver dumping.
The only reason I can think of is the fact that I did sleep in and didn't do fbs reading until 8am. But still...a 9?
I know I'm not the only one to struggle with morning numbers but I do know that there are also many in this wonderful community who have great low levels of fbg. How did y'all get to where you are???
I am now on LCHF diet, have been for over a month now and I know it's working. Just not in the morning, not yet ...

I know it can be a bit disheartening at times, but watch it over a period and look for the trend. Are you following the Low Carb Program? As you get into it you will see a gradual improvement and then it will start to get better if you stick with it.
 
5.6 mind you am using a new meter the contour next usb kindly sent to me for free yesterday so may account for slight difference from my normal FSB.
