Hi All,

I've been low carbing following Atkins since 7/21/02. My Fitday stats show net carbs at an average of 21 per day and calories at 2000 average. I currently weigh 224 pounds.

Because both of my parents and one brother are type 2 diabetics I decided to monitor my blood sugars. Pre Atkins bloodwork showed a fasting BG of 95. Since I started monitoring (about 2 weeks into Atkins) my BGs have usually run in the low to mid 60's, occasionally rising into the low 70's. I've monitored in the morning before breakfast, after meals and at all other times of the day. The meter calibration checks OK.

Have any other non diabetics on this board monitored BGs? Are these readings what you would expect? Should I change caloric or carb intake?

Thanks,
Larry
