Snap - we have the snow warning as well - yesterday was lovely too. I'm on Day 3 of no coffee or tea and I'm not convinced it is helping me. I was overjoyed yesterday to get back into the 5's yesterday. After dinner I was sitting at 6.7 and it remained there. I accidentally tested again before going to bed and I had jumped to 8 in the space of 30 mins! I had nothing to eat or drink in that period apart from water so it had to be the liver again.
I'm back at 6.5 but it has taken almost all day to get there. I really don't get this at all. Having said that I dreamt I dropped to 3.8 while I was sleeping and that made me nervous. Either that or it is hubby constantly prattling on in his sleep.Yes, I'm wondering where my liver is getting it all from, too. The only thing I can think to do is reduce protein but I'm reluctant to do that. It's not like I eat a huge amount of it anyway.
@Brunneria. Are you having a lovely relaxing time? I had a sneaky slice of LC cake last night and thought of you turning up at your relatives house bearing gifts of cake and cream.
.....and like you my cold has re-emerged. In the last hour sore throat, runny nose - I should have believed my poor aching legs - they've never been wrong. Can't blame the park as my legs were already in a bad way. So back to the First Defence and paracetamol and hot showers.
Gee this is getting more and more confusing. 6.9 before dinner 6.4 After? There is no logic to this at all.
Yes, that is EXACTLY what I've got. I've got no energy to do anything. Mr C is about 10 days in front of me with it and woke me up asking for paracetamol at 3am because of a cracking headache.
I am also running a bit of a temperature, got aching bones (as well as my normal arthritis) and a bit of conjunctivitis. Falling apart, basically.
Amazing BGs - this way of eating is definitely suiting you. Do you think you can keep with it long term?
I've got the no energy, very aching legs, runny nose....you get my drift. Well dosed up on paracetamol and First Defence. My FBG at least was an improvement on yesterday's 9.5 - I was at 7.7 fasting after going to bed on 6.5. Still not drinking coffee or tea and my pre breakfast reading was 7.9.Yes, that is EXACTLY what I've got. I've got no energy to do anything. Mr C is about 10 days in front of me with it and woke me up asking for paracetamol at 3am because of a cracking headache.
And.....my FBG this morning was 8.8! I haven't had BG that high for months. Yes, I washed my hands again and redid the test.
One nice thing though, I've been putting off having this:

because I don't like pork and I thought it sounded bland, but it was really, really nice even though I didn't much feel like eating.. I put part steamed broccoli in with the beans. Will definitely cook it again.

Isn't it a shame we can't take them out (along with our pancreas and liver) and send them off to get fixed? I'm hopeful that our way of eating is going to be right for me - and even though I'm full of cold I know I'm not doing anything to raise my BG (and I can have a sneaky slice of LC cake to cheer myself up.)
I agree. I've now had an attack of the runs and my BG is up to 8.5. Just have to give it up as a lost cause for now. I'm having a warming cup of vegetable boullion right now.@Brunneria - I am SO HAPPY for you that, after all that trial and error, you have found the right way for you to cope with your broken metabolism.
@maglil55 - I think the best way forward for both of us (concerning eating) is to just carry on as normal and give ourselves a bit of TLC to get rid of the bug. Whats confusing me is the occasional day (or hour) that I seem to be better .... then it starts all over again but slightly differently.
About upset tummies - I have found hot drinks to be a bit....dangerous.... I had problems after hot bovril yesterday.
