Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. Vince, what were your fasting levels like on diagnosis? I see from your threads that you have got this thing under control really well! My FBG is 6.8 this morning - I’ve mostly had readings between 6 and 7 in the morning; usually around 6.4-6.6 and always struggled to get these down. The Dawn Phenomenon has always haunted me! Katie

My Hba1c at diagnosis Katie was 78 last count 2 weeks or so ago it was 33
Since being back in the UK my levels have increased slightly and I think that is down to a couple of factors. Not being so active recently mainly because of the weather abd being stuck in front of th PC all day and,I have changed my diet dramatically. More carbs included.
I am back in China at the end of the month and will see what happens then.
I am eating more and have gained a couple of kilos.
That I need to address also haha.
 
Morning all. My last day of my current low libre is giving me a 4.2 today.
Sore fingers here I come again :(
 
Good morning my lovelies 🙂
Chilly and frosty here yet again 🙄
I'm joining @New-journey with a 5.4 this morning
@Vince_UK do you feel ok? The first signs of coming down with something can be raised bg's x
Hope everyone has a fab day! :D

I feel fine actually @Kaylz Thanks for asking.
I think it is down to my eating far to much since I came back, my addiction to Moser Roth and less activity because of the weather and sitting in front of the PC most of the day. I did eat a plate of ham, cheese and toms before i went to bed lastnight lol. That has got to stop.🙄
 
Morning all, back in the 5's this morning with a 5.4
 
Afternoon all! It's a slightly elevated 6.5 for me today. My waking figures have been creeping up recently. I'm blaming the cold. @Vince_UK, the cold weather can affect BG levels with some people. When I was on holiday in Crete last year, I really relaxed my low carb eating but BG was always in range. At least I thought it was the warm weather that did it. May have been the alcohol that helped too.:D

I tend to agree @Mark Parrott
My levels have been slightly higher since I got back to the UK and the much colder weather. I will find out when I get back to Shanghai at the end of the month. I am expecting a much lower range.
It is actually easier to eat a much lower carb diet in China, very little temptation lol. Here is it to easy to succumb e.g. the Moser Roth
