10.1

Succumbed to the delights of a tub of Camembert cheese and crackers last night before bed.
Won't do that again! First double figure fasting for a long time.

But I bet it was delicious....... ......
 
Mine is normally between about 6.5 and 8 most mornings. Yesterday was 7.6 and this morning was 6.7. Typically this is about 12 hours since last eating.

Then this morning, two hours after eating breakfast (bacon and eggs with some fried tomatoes and green onions) it was a very pleasing 5.4. Weird how mine actually drops after eating a good LCHF meal, even when no medication is taken.

I have read so much about the dawn phenomenon making your blood sugar levels higher but it doesn't seem to apply to me.....I find that mine are higher on waking if I've snacked in the evening, even though not high carb, but lower if I don't eat after my main meal which is between 6 and 7pm.
 
2.2
 
Mornig all from a sunny yarmouth 6.1 after a bed time reading of 6.3 and that was after a fish and chip supper
 
Phew, I measured 5.0 this morning, after an 8.4 last night post-meal. So, I am happy with that . I just had a bit of porridge before leaving for Zumbaaaaa!!!!
 
4.5 this morning, cold streaming but better than being bunged up lol. Have a good day
 
5.5.
Ok for attacking undergrowth in the garden in a mo. Loppers, secateurs, trousers not shorts, and strong gloves. Holly, ferns, stinging nettles, bramble, mistletoe and some pretty shrub thing I can't name, all of them nice in their own way, but which have become monstrous in the confusion and search for light under apple trees. Not doing much for the apple trees either of course, though they never fail to crop, bless them.
