@Aud3150 we all have different targets to which we try to keep steady. Doesnt always work but majority of the time works if we test every morning. Before we rise. I sometimes do mine in bed, if i remember.
There are a few techniques we can give you to reduce your bgs. My advice is one at a time.
First and best one is check out forums under low carb. A lot of people benefit from very few carbs in their diet. I did that for a good month before my fasting number court up. It's the last to come down, it seems.
You'll be surprised the difference on your meter numbers!
 
Morning All

Mine was 5.0 this morning.

Aud350 - I would say that 12.6 is rather high.

My DN told me "anything in single figures is good enough", but there is a lot of evidence that complications tend to start whenever it goes above 7.8.

However, if you have only recently tried LCHF be aware that changes take quite a while (months) and the important thing you want to see is a general, downward trend.

Thanks for info hun I don't really know a lot about diabetes so I really appreciate it. I have only just started testing my sugars not sure what it all means, but any advice I can get I will take on board. Thanks x

I think you would benefit from r-ala suppliment too. It works on insulin. Your own and injected one, I believe.
I had dumplings and normally my high would have stayed up but came down on 55units. I would have had to take 80units without suppliment. :)

"Low Carb High Fat". As @13lizanne mentioned, there are other sites you can go to and other threads on these forums.
The moderators don't like this discussion thread to stray too far from our fasting readings, so if you are interested in LCHF then can I suggest that you look at http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/category/low-carb-diet-forum.18/, which is the dedicated part of this forum.

You are definitely in the right place to start learning more about your diabetes, so welcome!
