Yay!!

A few short weeks and you are doing so well 🙂

Hope it continues for you, but don't be too hard on yourself if you have the odd blip. There's SO much to learn in the early days (and after 20 years too!)

It's sounding really positive. As your levels start to improve, be prepared for the odd blip though (I had several early on!).

But if you keep the exercise going regularly, you may find that your levels start to behave more consistently.

Fingers crossed eh?

Andy 🙂

Thank you everyone for your positive comments I am sure I will have lots of blips along the way and probably wont see 7.5 for a while again but it was just nice to see that my meter was capable of single figures

Think the difference is that I didn't have any carbs at lunch time .......just cottage cheese and salad.

Great stuff! The improvement in blood glucose levels is likely to come very quickly indeed if you are careful not to eat too much starchy carbohydrate.

Keep on going!

Managed to get another single figure reading today. Started this morning with 13.5 (before breakfast) tested again before dinner this evening and 8.8.

All this hardwork is paying off🙂

That's still too high - keep on going! Lower results do come very quickly once you start to eat less carbohydrate.

Hi John

Thats the plan

Hopefully get figures like you eventually.

I think that you're doing really well Sheilagh.

So long as your readings continue to reduce as they have been doing, you'll be doing yourself a favour by reducing them slowly (from what I've been reading on other threads about issues occurring through reducing the levels too quickly).
