Er,........... Just so that you know that this particular meal doesn't take me off-piste, I was 3.8 before and 4.3 2 hours later, with a 4.1 30 minutes after that. I seem able to have a few "extras" these days.
 
It may be a good thing for us if weight loss slows as we approach target weight. Otherwise we will overshoot and have to change diet in order not to lose more weight.

Of course I have a while to go before stopping weight loss becomes an issue

Hopefully when I get to target weight and have been at this a little longer I too can achieve such excellent results....that's one of the things I love about this site.. It gives you hope
 

Maintaining is much harder than losing. I still lose the odd pound even now, after reaching target in early October.
 
Its a good idea to think about it a good bit before you get to target. I overshot massively and lost 9 lbs more than I wanted to. Its a fine balance between upping carbs a bit. But not raising bgs. I had to experiment quite a bit with portion sizes. Carbs and proteins. When I upped my fats. I lost 4 more pounds. I lost 2 stone so quickly on lchf. Its honestly not easy. My fasting at 7.9 and 8 is much higher than I want. Daytime average now is 5.8...

Congratulations @Bluetit1802! A great result. Didn't you have another test recently? I was diagnosed in November last year, tested February and May then they said it would be every November, it being the month of my birthday. When were you diagnosed?
My cholesterol came back 5.3 so slightly down from May. The detailed figures are at work but I don't think they're as good as yours! I went from 4.5 to 5.4 when I began LCHF yet others have seen a decrease. Strange! Lol
Again, congratulations dear.
 

Thank you!

I was diagnosed in January. I was put on 3 monthly reviews, then moved to 6 monthly ones in June. All in all I've had 7 HbA1c's since January! (Had 2 at diagnosis time). My GP always throws one in for good measure. I was initially on 3 monthly ones, then moved to 6 months. However, I've actually had 7 HbA1c tests since January because my GP always throws one in if I'm having other tests, and I asked for an interim one in September for my own benefit, and was given one. This last one was on Tuesday (my birthday month). My next will be in June 2015, but I may ask for another interim in March.

I was delighted with my lipids results. My total is up slightly, but that is only because my HDL has risen so much. I take no notice of my total. I just look at the others and the ratios.
 

BRILLIANT bt
 
Started the day on a 5.7 too many carbs and high numbers today but thankfully going to bed at 4.9

Do you do any exercise before breakfast rather than after? Just another thought......
