@DJC3 Brilliant result so I imagine lots of relief and confirmation that your hard work pays off.
@Goonergal Glad to see fbg nicely settled and enjoy Edinburgh you are probably in need of a break.
5.3 for me today so back in range. Fitbit resting heart rate ticked upwards on 17th since when daily average bg level overall has edged up from 5.06 to 5.6/7 so I'm taking it as linked. Amazing how having some data turns one into Sherlock Holmes or House. Before testing and fitbit I would just have eaten more carbs - especially hotcross buns!

Exactly!
Would never have managed it if I hadn’t found this forum - the information, advice, and support have all been invaluable.
Tbh it hasn’t really been that hard work though. I’m really enjoying lchf way of life
 
Good morening a low 6.1 for me this morning. If these low figures continue I shall have to look very closely at my diet. My meds raise my bs levels. Perhaps I should eat a couple of hot cross buns, mind you Mrs J would then get cross, therefore perhaps ordinary buns and Mrs J can deal wif the cross bit. Be good today folks.

Nothing wrong with 6.1
 
Me and madam are on the point of parting company. I realise that I have been stretching the interpretation of low carb a little in the last couple of days and in fact I have been somewhat porcine.
I intend to get a grip of her and so will need to take myself in hand. I'm very realistic though and this is not going to happen until Monday at the earliest.
At the moment I'm going onwards but definitely not downwards and the tide is very strong and I think I've stopped swimming against the tide, not waving but drowning
 
Extremely late posting today too many appointments to juggle!
BG @. 8.30 am was 6.1
BG before lunch was 5.4
Goodness knows how had a chocolate caramel mini egg last night has I was sick of my readings,it's a mystery how these BG reading turn out. Has I have said if I'm good and eat nothing that raises my BG it's higher, have something I shouldn't have and it lowers????K
