That's a fantastic result. Well done. Out of interest that equates to 6.5mmol/L which is within your recent fasting readings - 6.2 – 5.6 – 5.7 – 5.4 – 5.7 – 6.2, taking into account a very small sample set.
 
5.7 this morning so breakfast took me up to 7:0 - didn't get to sleep until after 2am....ended up getting up having a brew and a snack.....
Dinner am still waiting to test but had a sort of frittata made with mushrooms and chickpeas fried with olive oil and peanut butter. 2 eggs and a goodly helping of Red Leicester cheese. Was stuffed - shouldn't have eaten it all but it was tasty :hungry::hungry::hungry::hungry:

Yes thats right
Well spotted that but I never really go to 6.5 as per my meter during the day, it stays between 4.8 and 6.5 but I could be missing the one hour peaks sometimes as 2 hours after I am always normally below 6.5, but I think this is an absolute fantastic result, even I am proud of that myself :)

4.6 I'm frankly amazed.
Not what I was expecting.

Liked but not liked. Hopefully I have only got a week more of strong antibiotics then will go back to 1 Mon, Wed, Fri. Take care Jack

I think there are a few factors at play especially meter accuracy. I think back to the survey which pointed out that my Contour meter is usually 10% below the true reading. Then there are the spikes post food. Taking all those into account a fantastic reading.

Thanks AB
I will go ahead with it still. I am already preparing myself and my body for the assault and just preparing has lead to weight loss. By nature I can be very very strict on myself which is reflected in my a1c too so I know I will get through it. I am a little concerned about metformin should I just stop it a week into the ND or just keep going. Thats now a big concern for me as I am keeping well inside 4 and 5 and rarely touch 6.
