[QUOTE="Nenah, post: 1235508, member: 293062"] Thank you [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] and hello :-). Really sometimes I think I'm getting somewhere then other times I just wonder where its all at. I try and remember how long its been since I had anything remotely processed (other than the wholegrains in recent months), any sugars, 2.5 yrs since my last take aways, I didn't even eat any of the food at my own wedding. Penny dropping moment!A normal distribution graph was all I needed to get it :-) We had then been discussing the difference between then & now and i think if my poor husband had to say again "yes but you are eating and have fat to burn!" he was going to start rocking. I think you're right I'd strayed into starvation, pretty sure not keto acidosis although i don't remember much. It's such a different scenario now. I'm feeling much more intune with my body this last week than i have in months. I feel like I can start to trust the messages again, well most of them. I ordered some urine strips at the same time as my bg strips so hopefully here soon as I thought the same, i can reassure myself until i find my happy zone. A freestyle libre I ordered arrived today but until I get my bg strips for my established monitor to compare it with & feel sure its reading in right vacinity I'm not sure about its readings. Though it's showing I'm in the 4s and saying I dropped to 3.7 at 17.00 (I did swipe because I felt very strange). Seeing as I havent seen the 4s for a long time maybe good, yet 3s isnt.
