YeahMeToo said:

6.5 fasting this morning - down from 8.2 fasting yesterday morning.
Have only been testing for 2 days as I have only recently been diagnosed with type 2.

Good second day reading (and the first wasn't horrendous)

@s_k_s doing a great job

@s_k_s
Apologies I was latish testing today and forgot to post, but :
Fasting (Friday) : 7.0

Rest of the day still high but fairly nice and flat again:
6.8 -> 7.2, 6.8 -> 6.7

I definitely think this is where my body's most happy to be (unfortunately!)

Day45 ND. 4.3mmol/l. Just taking a breather before the visitors arrive for the overnight stay and getting up at 3am to get to the Dawn Service at the War Memorial. No Parkrun tomorrow but full of incident. Hope I can catch up, later.

Pleasure. We all learn from one another on here. I am trying to keep carbs down to a minimum but yes I have drifted every now and then. Not sure on the potatoes. Haven't had them at all this year but maybe someone else has and could advise? I suppose the only way to check would be to test a small amount first? I think that chap in the diet doctor link experimented with this. I shall have a look see later.

Hola @Susikav

Yes he did he went on a carb weekend. Worth a read when you have a mo. Also look at the comments posted - split decision on spuds.[/QUOTE]
I am going to try one spoon of buttery mash... If it spikes too badly I shall kick it into touch... I have been low-carbing for 6 months and I will stay with it, but think I shall look forward to adding some carbs..

Welcom MeToo... You seem to already be doing well... Are you low-carbing? There are some lovely recipes in the Low Carb Recipe thread...

5.6 again yesterday and 5.3 today Sinus infection almost sorted I think...

Thank you S.K.S once again for your post...

Thank you Baruney... This is a really good article... it is easy to assimilate, unlike some of the more scientific ones you plough through... Basically we should all be eating like cavemen for optimum health.. Paleo diet is perfect for diabetics - and non-diabetics - as it's very natural for humans...

5.8 this morning - must have been the two biscuits last night that wantd eating and it would have been rude to deny their request!

5.0 on this rainy morning on the Belgian coast. A little vacation is treating my morning levels very well. Off to Vimy for another commemorative ceremony. Hopefully the weather is better there.

Good morning all
5·6

7.5 this morning I hope all have a brilliant day

7.3

5.5 lowest for months but woke up very hungry.

This morning (Sat) 4.5 @ 06:50

5.0 this morning
