    Just consider the maths here. An elite athlete weighing just 50Kg and just 10% body fat still has 5000g of fat. At 9 calories per gramme that's 45000 calories of effort available, even for such a small lean athlete. How much more is there available for the likes of me? I know it's not quite as...

    Sorry for the confusion. On that occasion I was in ketosis - keto strips confirmed.

    But I was running on fat at the time, there's the rub. Not a carb in sight. What I am guessing, with the benefit of hindsight and a bit of reading, is that I pushed too hard that day and my heart rate was way up (I don't know for sure because I didn't have a heart monitor then - I do now!). As...

    I've recently come off metformin entirely. Of course you're right about pasta and ketosis. A lot has changed in my metabolisn these last few weeks and I'm not chasing ketosis any longer. My body is evidently willing to consume carbs on the bike when training so that's what it gets when...

    5.1 today - but cycling is doing wonders. Check out https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/t2-cycling-lchf.154218/ for some detail about this. There are only 4 or 5 posts in the thread and it's the last one that gives some detail about today.

    Cycling is doing wonders for my metabolism. Take today's readings ... Fasting 5.1 Breakfast was pasta carbonara with wholewheat pasta (basically bacon & eggs on pasta) 2 hours later, immediately pre-ride - 6.6 50 mile ride, 4.5 hours duration. One scotch egg consumed en-route. End of ride...

    6.0 this morning. Celebrated last night with all kinds of wrong food after my daughter's GCSE results so this reading is very welcome.

    And others of us would take it as a sign that's something is badly amiss. It's all relative and none of us are alike, so I'm not sure this kind of comment is helpful. Anyway, 4.7 for me this morning.

    5.0 this morning. I haven't been testing the last week or so because of an infection. No point wasting strips to tell me that my body's temporarily up the spout! Better now, though.
