What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

Morning all. Fours didn’t last long, 5.1 today. Been on zero carbs for a bit over a week now and blood sugars are slightly up, might be the extra protein.
I didn't realise protein puts up BG
 
5.5 again today. I would have been pleased with that 3 years ago. When I started I took 5.5 or less as benchmark. I now have plenty of evidence to know I can do better so not so pleased. Anyhow, 2 out of 3 pieces of data this morning at or below benchmark so tweaks rather than major changes needed. @Goonergal let us know how no carbs goes - fascinated by your "exit strategy"! Some of the fbg lift probably due to stress of work - the old curse of the drinking class!
