4.8 at bedtime
5.5 this morning. This is my usual liver behaviour when I go to bed in the 4's. It sends me back to the 5's, always.

Thanks Rolled shoulder of lamb slow roasted, with a cheese board to follow. Jamie Oliver recipe.

More good news; I'm now under 12 stone for the first time in probably 30-odd years! 11 stone 13 3/4lbs this morning. The weight loss rate is slowing definitely, one and a half pounds in 5 days but still progressing. My target for next Sunday is another 2lbs off.
 
5.1 today. Defo need to stay off the nut butters towards bedtime.... The higher numbers earlier in the 7 days were post nut butter snacks.....
 
Disappointing 8.3 fasting tho did have bad night sleep and ate quite late and up early ...mmm now what else can I blame ..me lol hope for better one tomorrow ...no mother's day chocs for me
 
Woohoo great news.... Hopefully mine will be,as good next week.....I'd gone under 13st 2 weeks ago to 12:12. But nut butter munchies put 6lbs on in a week!! Thankfully dropped again this week but still nudging over 13 stones..

6 pounds in a week? - sounds more like dodgy scales to me; my digital ones are very temperamental. I repeatedly weigh until I get the same reading for at least three times in succession. The first is usually 2-3 pounds more than the stable figure. If you did put 6 pounds, that's like 20,000 calories!

6.2 this morning with a 5.3 bedtime reading. I really must stop eating carbs in my dreams !

was there a comma missing after carbs or are you eating carbs in your dreams? I'm feeling like the latter.....
 
I think slow is good for weight loss.... 1 kg a week is good going.
 
5.2 am after 6.1 pm, on the SD
5.1 am after 5.0 pm on the Bayer
a little less carb with dinner does seem to have an effect.... that will be no carbs with dinner after a highish Wed and Thurs

Jan, reading some of your posts on here and on the "what have you eaten..." thread makes me feel you are playing diabetic Russian roullette. Your carb and I am guessing general food intake has increased of late, with more carbs creeping in, it appears, and your scores sometimes matching those diversions. Toast, marmalade, ginger cake with "proper" sugar etc, not to mention snacking, on buttered bread, in the small hours. Not a lot of that makes sense to my logic.

You have done well to reduce your blood scores from pre-diabetic to the non-diabetic ranges by watching your diet, and I am no advocate of anyone giving up anything they really don't need to, but by your own admission it would be helpful to your overall wellbeing to trim up a bit more? Why not just focus and get on with that for now? Surely, once you reach whatever your desired weight is (I'm guessing somewhere in the "healthy" BMI band), you may have more leeway for experimentation, and a greater chance of staying in the bloods and weight bands you desire.

As you are aware, many newly diagnosed people come onto this thread; often as an easy way to introduce themselves, and I feal some of your posts could be confusing for those individuals who are often really struggling to get their heads around the concept of diabetes and carb control - whether cutting, going wholemeal or even down the (in my view) questionable GI route.

I'm not sitting here, polishing my halo, or suggesting I'm the perfect diabetic. I'm certainly not. But, I learned so much from the members of this site that I can only be eternally grateful, and as such, having done quite well, I want to continue to support newbies, by continuing to live a healthier life.

I wish you well.
