Excellent drop - well done.

Walking really seems to work for lowering my levels ...the rise isn't so good though . Now I am using this Libre thingy it is giving me a better insight to what is going on with my glucose ..shame they cost so much .

8.3 at 6am on Libre .

7.2 this morning, always a little higher on Sunday . Out walking today so that should bring it down nicely.

6.2 at 6:28.
It will be interesting to see the before breakfast one to see if DP had kicked in.

Keeping BG in check is a daily challenge @PenguinMum, but well worth the effort.

Logging my results on this forum, it must be said, helps to keep me incentivised, especially when readings drift upwards due factors beyond our control like infection. Other members' success like @mojo37 is inspiring too, as you say.

It helps to focus on the many delicious foods we can safely eat, as I know you do, and not dwell too much on those high carb 'goodies' that we really shouldn't have.

6.7 at 7:07, rising to 7.5 at 8:17.
I'm thinking maybe have something protein first thing to stop that rise.

Given time and a consistent LCHF lifestyle, your FBG readings should gradually fall @May Mic, so the rise will begin from a lower starting point and will be less pronounced.

Meanwhile, IME, you can stop a rise with a modest snack; a teaspoon or two of sunflower or pumpkin seeds or four to five almonds or hazelnuts should do the trick without affecting your appetite at breakfast.
