I used to go with 6pm as a rule a long way back, I'll go for 7pm if it's a group challenge!

this morning 6.4

Here you go:

‘Stop Eating After 7pm’ Challenge

Who will join me? I intend to do this for the rest of January- 10 days and hopefully I’ll have broken the habit by then and carry on. I‘m not hungry, I suspect I’m bored and it’s becoming a habit. So I thought if there were a few of us that struggle with this it would be good to record our...

I'm in with you.
Have no planned excursions to Carvery or similar this week...... So......
No food after 7pm.
It does make a difference to the morning readings. Good luck.
A slightly more respectable BG 7.8 mmol this morning......

How do you do that? I’ve often wanted to refer someone to a post but didn’t know how. I used to be so good at tech, I think that part of my brain has closed down! :rolleyes:
