Numbers falling down

Halfway through February I went onto a low-carb diet to improve my numbers to a level whereby they could almost be considered to be normalised.

So far it's working well. I look at my blood glucose meter and it gives the following averages:

Last 30 days: 6.1
Last 14 days: 5.8
Last 7 days: 5.6

Averages aren't the best way to show control as I have a tendency to test more when too high or too low so it can distort the results a bit, however it still gives a general idea.

To find my averages under 6.0 since going on the low-carb diet is really encouraging. I'm giving myself a congratulatory pat on the back because to get to this from the woeful results only two months ago is really great.

I feel a lot better than I did in those 'dark ages' when I didn't really know quite where my levels were at throughout each day. My head certainly feels a good deal less stressed.
