Good Afternoon all. 4.7 this morning - Yay! Am very confused though, as the past couple of months now I have been experiencing lower fasting readings in the 4's, however, this is not "normal" for me. I am worried as my evening readings are now higher than usual (e.g around 6). There seems to have been a shift and my higher readings have now changed to evenings and lower to mornings. Only thing I can attribute it to is possible hormonal changes. Does anyone else have experience of this please and is it a cause for concern?

Happy Easter Saturday!
Happy Easter TP... I would be pleased, not worried with those readings... much more normal I think... I hate my high morning readings - my liver is a beast..... Maybe too much protein at night? So hard to tell, isn't it? One day we'll have all the answers, but for now, I reckon most of us do very well indeed.... :)

Thanks Susikav and Happy Easter. Thank you for your reassurance. I'm guessing it down to those pesky hormones - any change my body doesn't seem to like too much. My digestion has also been slower of late. Have been relaxing about it all a bit more and just enjoying the weekend. I figured I will just swap my routine round again. So, bigger breakfast, exercise later in day and eat less towards end of day, see how it likes that eh!

It seems we can't always win :rolleyes:
