So I'm still being treated as onset diabetic and was recently told if my blood sugars ever went above 10 then they would start me on medication to treat it but anything under is okay.

My levels are doing okayish. I mean I've been suffering with a really bad cold the past week so they have gone up a bit. But these are my results from last few days


5, 4.8, 3.2
6, 5.1, 4.1
5.8, 6, 6.1
6, 9, 4.9
6, 6.3

So really the only bad result was yesterday so pretty happy with it but can't lie the higher numbers are quite scary even when told it's okay but I guess the cold is affecting it as normally it's no where near this
 
Great job, @Jlewis. These numbers look really good.

I understand, however, where you coming from. If possible, I like to keep all my readings below six -- but sometimes it's beyond our control, especially if get sick or are very stressed.

Congrats, really well done.
 
Those numbers would make me happy! I wake to numbers around 6, 7 or 8 and the lowest I ever get to in the day are 5 or 6 and that's after fasting for 16 hours. Mine can go up to 9 or 10 after eating even though I'm low carb. I'm not on any medication and trying to do it by diet alone. My next review isn't till Feb but my surgery is a mess at the moment as they don't seem to be able to keep their GP's.
But your numbers look pretty good to me :) Hope your cold goes soon and you feel better.
 
Woo just had another great one. 3.9 4 hours after eating after a fairly big meal of 2 hot dogs and a few chips. I thought it'd be higher because of how they've been and the bigger meal but very happy with that. People have said I shouldn't really be happy with 3s as it's to low but to me I'd rather it be a bit lower than to high because if they are low I can just eat and get them up like I did tonight I had a few sandwiches and a small piece of quiche and a low sugar bag of crisps. That's always snack my meal if they're lower and it never takes it up to high so I know it works
