Morning blood sugar readings have been high the last couple days. I've been below the upper bound of 130 since Saturday, but aside from a 99 Monday morning their drop has leveled off. They're actually worse than when I'm mildly bad and have a late desert (of more meat or something — no slip-ups yet) a couple hours after dinner, before bed. My doctor's instructions on portion control and snack elimination contradict her permission to do Atkins. Trying to do both just makes me hungry.

My evening numbers have continued to improve, however, with four straight days ≤ 110. My attempt to leave a gap between the last installment of lunch and dinner may be helping here.

Oh, the big number that we've all been waiting for? Remembering that the first week's loss isn't that interesting since diets are often diuretic. (Although, I feel better hydrated than before since I've been trying to come close to or exceed the water guidelines.) The second week's loss is more interesting. With that reminder:

245.0. Down 5#.
