It takes time @ChrisT2. It doesn't improve overnight.

Are you doing all you can to keep carb intake low ... ish?

Back in the day I never really measured carb intake or anything else for that matter. For last 3 weeks been measuring carbs and usually around 150g per day sometimes lower. A bit late to the low carb party.

Morning all 4.8 this morning, it can run low today working from home

 

[mojo37]

Me too, never sure if this is good or bad but others seem to achieve lower levels. Despite changing eating patterns I don't seem to be able to influence this.

So many other factors affect results such as stress lack of sleep ( one of my main ones ) and illness .....

I know the feeling, always seems no logic to some readings.

Evening @ChrisT2. Do you keep a food diary? It's easy to overlook the odd item here and there if you rely solely om memory.

 

[Estragon]

6.2 for me today. 7.1 yesterday.

 

[LivingLightly]

Morning prickers and swipers

Saturday, 4.4 mmol on waking at 6.00 am.
Take care everyone and have the best weekend possible.

 

[flonvic]

Good morning, yes I use My FitnessPal and have started to weigh things wherever I can. My wife thinks I am becoming an OCD obsessive but I am determined to get to grips with lowering blood sugar. However it is proving elusive and not following any pattern so far.

 

[ChrisT2]

8.4 this morning after 156g carbs yesterday. About average to good BS for me.

 

[RosemaryJackson]

Good morning all. 7.8 for me. (6.7 at bedtime). It's down a little @mojo37. And yours is so much better when you think of the double figures you used to get. Btw, things can affect you and have an effect on you. Does that help? Have a nice weekend everyone.

FBG 5.1 this morning, tested again 5.5 so going to take the average which brings us to 5.3. Don't know where that came but very happy with it particularly as I had a very bad night, I was feeling nauseous and just meh all over. I had my laptop on my knees most of the evening which was the reason for the achiness as it causes my knees to go numb and gives me restless legs. When will I ever learn.

Happy day to you all.
