Been up for an hour and a half,2 cups of coffee and a reading in BG off 6.1
Need to have another good day today but start back on nights so wait and see if any different BG results through the nite.

Hello James. Welcome.

9.15am(I hour) was 9.4 hope this post is alright in this thread,I don't know what the reading means as I am still learning

Hi, you're in the right place.
9.4 seems quite high.
Most folk seem to aim for around 6 but fasting readings can be quite high due to Dawn Phenomenon (dp). It's when your liver produces glucose to compensate for the early morning drop in energy. It isn't unusual. Hopefully your readings will be lower as the day progresses.
I was happy that my reading was 5.9 today...it had been over 7 for while.

For my one year diaversary .... a 5.7 off for a swim to celebrate!

Happy diaversary. I'm not sure that's appropriate.... but I understand that lchf has helped you and your exercise regime rocks, so congratulations on your achievements over the last 366 days.

6.2 at 8am

Ditto. 6.2 only 25gms carbs yesterday, but hospitalitus probably raised my result but 2 points!!

Morning All

5.8 this morning, not too bad after a meal out.
Baked Haddock with asparagus in a cheese sauce, but I might have followed that up with a tiny chocolate fudge cake....

7.9 up from 7.5 yesterday, went to bed 2.30am on 9.1 after a steady 3 pints lager so I guess its to be expected really

5.6 this morning some what higher than I'm used to these days but am now back on steroidal inhaler as asthma worse and had to take Ibuprofen I know not a good idea ibuprofen with asthma but all that was available last night and have upped carbs and calories slightly to try and stabilize weight so all in all not too unhappy with FBG today.

A friend invited us to a fabulous Indian dinner last night. Had wine and lots of butter chicken, vegetables, naan, and dessert. This morning fbs is 5.5. Not bad at all.

5.7 at 5:00 am.

Going to try the apple vinegar cider thingy of Mosely's that was on TV the other night. Had a go at 2 tablespoons (30mi) in 200 ml/s of water yesterday, definitely not a easy drink to swallow down but they say you acquire the taste for it.
