[QUOTE="UserABC2021, post: 2154915, member: 470000"] 5.2 this morning and I know not why. I haven't been LCHF during this lung infection, far from it if I'm honest. For example, last night I had two buttered crumpets before bed, yet here I am in the low fives. When the virus kicked off I went full-on protein thinking it would help, but my FBG rocketed and I put that down to steroids etc. However, I switched to higher carbs and my FBG dropped. This is why I say with honesty that I have no idea what I'm doing, I am inspired by all the dedication and information shown on here but for some reason, my brain will not engage. Perhaps it's because I got too bogged down in the metrics, chasing numbers, and I swapped between machines trying find the 'best' results. Closer examination was that all the machines had error ranges that meant a 5.0 v 5.5 or 5.5 v 6.0 were actually the same. Worrying about +-0.5 stopped meaning anything. Enough of me wittering on, I shall continue to be inspired by you all and hope for the best :) [/QUOTE]
