In my normal life ( I’m on holiday at the moment) I find I respond poorly to cream and soft cheeses

. Do you find your diet more specific as time goes by on this “ low carb journey” ?

Feels good on this low carb journey, metabolism is good and I can breath well. Thanks for the response.

7.5 … thought it would be higher as I had a high of 9.8 yesterday after a takeaway… veggie kebab without the pitta and some chicken tenders …. First takeaway in months but while I enjoyed it as a treat my body obviously disagreed…. Lesson learned…

Morning all. 7.0 today, hopefully on the downward trend. I've found that cream spikes me. Not for a minute did I suspect that! Have a lovely day everyone.

Morning All. Meter says 8.3 and Libre 6.5 though stayed steady 6 all night. I’d like to think I’m somewhere in between those number. I think I could say that is also true for me @flonvic. Have a good Sunday all.

A surprising 5.9 after a lie-in this morning. No idea where that came from but always been a stranger to the fives. Long since given up trying to apply any logic to BG readings but happy to take the lows and forget the highs.
