Thank you dear Pasha. I have been reading Grant Peterson's book, " Eat Bacon, Don't Jog" and although I am not a meat eater, I have found it very useful in keeping me straight. Also a really good explanation of fat-fasting, which sounds easy to do, and I might do it if I ever want to lose any more weight.
Your results, of course are stellar, and a shining example to us all!
Yep can say that the fat fast is a great tool to use in certain situations. Brings bloods down and ketones up as well. In fact may do one next week as an experiment. Anyone want to join in a 3 day fat fast?

5.9 fasting. OH and I were talking about how kebabs were served in different parts of the world and how we get a bit of a rough deal here at home.
OH, being half greek, loves the gyros. The best kebab I've ever had was in Israel. Agreed second was in Strasboug. Anyhow no point just talking about it so speed dialed our local Aspendos. In fact take away the bread and sauce with a shish, chicken or lamb, and you've got basically a healthy meal.

Anyhow we didn't go for the healthy option. Looking back I should have tested my bloods beforehand but the wine told me to test both ours after (OH non diabetic).

6.0 for me and 6.1 for OH. Obviously in the name of scientific research this experiment will have to be repeated with a pre test.

Or to cut a long story short. 5.9 fasting after a kebab last night!

Hope you get better soon! Keep hydrated and take any pain-killers they give you (well, I would!)

Bullies, discrimination of any kind, bad manners, parents who let their kids run amok & spoil things for everyone else, unkind spiteful people, being a clumsy clod, toast crumbs in the bed, cold feet!!
BG before getting into bed is up to 8.1 Aaaargh! Got a horrible headache because of it. My own fault too. Having a Magnum ice-cream wasn't a wise choice. Hopefully the morning will bring better numbers. Good health everyone.

Saturday 4th July ( a significant day for some ). 4.1 mmmol/L.
And yes, a slight foot fracture, dealt with, much more comfortable now, and able to get about, though no Parkrun today.
Thanks for all the good wishes, I felt very warm, kindly emanations, which helped enormously.
Hobbling, rather than hopping now ( better for the soup )
