Those look to be pretty good numbers, if the 4.8mmol/l is an after meal then your before meal may well have been a bit too low.
Hopefully your blood results will reflect your day to day readings.

4.8 mml was before a meal varies between 6.5 -8 after a meal 2 hours later. I found that potatoes are ok but the only food that put me high (12) was white garlic bread. Lo carb or wholemeal seem ok. So it's the white stuff but I am careful. My original diagnosis on 18/10/21 of 90 shook me as it's so high. But at least my kidneys were ok as told they're pinging off the screen and they're more like a 20 year olds . My eye and feet tests were also fine. So hopefully I can get that 90 down.

I know I had more to munch, but was over-tired, head spinning and head full of what-ifs following daughter's car accident, so I think I had a good excuse to go over my limits with a bit of comfort eating - nights are worse when sleep evades you :(

New day, new start.
 
Breakfast: breakfast 'muffin' egg, bacon, tomato, peppers. Decaf coffee.
Lunch: Beef 'cobbler' (pictured below) made with a keto dumpling recipe I made up on the fly using almond flour, coconut flour, mozarella, herbs and lard and using a tin of stewed steak for the base with some oregano and a spoonful of port, with green beans and decaf coffee
Evening meal: 1/2 a keto chocolate mug cake. 3 celery sticks and some salted nuts and decaf coffee and sparkling water.

It can be helpful sometimes to know what sort of things people are eating, as it might give some ideas for a more varied diet. So, I'll start off with what I ate yesterday:

Breakfast - 1 slice buttered Burgen toast (my breakfast every day, I don't like to run with too much in my stomach)

Lunch - two soft-boiled eggs, two slices of buttered Burgen toast soldiers 🙂 Activia yoghurt

Evening meal - home-made spaghetti bolognese and a bounty bar.

I also nibbled on chilli-dusted peanuts through the evening.

Burgen is the brand, I think there are a few varieties of it but seems to be more difficult to come across these days xx

Yes there are a few varieties, the low carb one is Soya and Linseed (rather than the one with Cranberries in it, which is much higher carb). There do seem to be supply issues at the moment and I haven't been able to get any in months... tried Sainsburys, ASDA, Co-op and Tesco. Morrisons stopped carrying it when they started to sell their own Soya and Linseed, which unfortunately is NOT low carb.
 
@NotWorriedAtAll your dish looks yummy!


Tuesday:
Brunch: Salmon pate with 2 slices Morrisons Wheat, Spelt and rye bread and butter.
Dinner: 2 x outdoor bred pork chipolatas 0.5g each, 1 tbs leftover spinach and butter beans, chicory braised in butter and garlic, small jacket potato.

Wednesday:
Breakfast: 1 slice toasted Wheat, spelt and rye buttered.
Lunch in town: Fishburger on a brioche bun with lettuce and tartare sauce. Couldn't eat a lot of the bun and as I had bolussed for it I had a small tub of caramel crunch ice cream, which is made with clotted cream by a local dairy (what a treat that was!)

Dinner: Local pub was doing an offer of 3 x tapas for £10, so we went along with a group of friends. Hubby and I shared 2 x pheasant breasts on dripping toast with a beetroot dressing, bubble and squeak fritters with mustard dressing, mini sausages in a honey/mustard sauce, grilled winter greens with goat's cheese and hand cut chips with mayo. Was yummy!
 
@NotWorriedAtAll I want those dumplings!!! I KNEW I'd seen dumplings somewhere made with lard, but couldn't work out where last night, so made the old way but with light Atora. Got a 7.4 for two wee ones, so not too bad.

L - 2 Hovis crackers and 1 Applewood smoked creamy cheddar stick
D - Lean minced steak - as bolognese (with spaghetti & garlic bread slices) for son and as a kind of stew for me and himself with small suet dumplings, plus himself had potatoes. 2 large strawberries with vanilla greek yoghurt and chia seeds.

Thursday:
Brunch: all kinds of heels of smelly cheese melted on 1.5 slices toast.

Dinner: Wasn't up to cooking dinner as I didn't feel well, so finished off the salmon pate on 2 slices toast.

Friday:
Brunch: Veggie soup. I had picked up what I thought were 2 bags of leek and potato soup mix off the discounted counter for pennies and later found it was chopped cabbage and leek. Added some creme fraiche and a pinch of chilli flakes. It was OK actually! 2 slices Morrisons spelt bread and butter.

Dinner: Home made meatballs from the freezer. They were meant to be part of a "Persian" spread, but didn't have the other ingredients. So I made a stir fry with asparagus, sugar snap peas, courgette, fennel and pak choi, a dollop of Hoisin and a splash or two of soy sauce.
 
B. Fibre drink. Coffee with milk.... run out of cream and desperately need to go shopping. Natural yoghurt with raspberries, mixed seeds cinnamon and a sprinkle of Morrison's "Nourish" linseed granola

L. Packet of pork scratching in honour of @adrian1der's birthday.

D. 2 pieces of black pudding, 2 fried eggs, mushrooms onion and yellow pepper with a large green salad, cucumber, a couple of pieces of chopped sun dried tomatoes and some mayonnaise. It was yum!
