Hi everyone,
Five weeks done
Weight loss this week a lb for a total of 16lbs
FBG of 6
Three inches off my waist.
Oh I'm finding it hard. But I'm still on appr 1000 cals a day. Lots of nice comments from family and friends and frankly those are keeping me going.
Xx
FBG 6 ! Brilliant !
Keep it going, you seem to be doing better and better and yes I agree it's sooo hard
But you are making great progress and people are noticing.
Small steps get you there in the end. It will be so worth it
thank you.
It's such a rollercoaster ride! Not as simple and straightforward as I thought it would be but slowly getting there.
I've had FBG in the 5s; in fact, it dropped within three days. Can't wait for my next HbA1C!
my real problem is from about three hours after dinner until going to bed - I'm constantlyhungry.

my real problem is from about three hours after dinner until going to bed - I'm constantlyhungry. I've tried Bovril and drinking mineral water but neither worked .... any suggestions?
If your low BG would not have been an issue without you having a meter to know it is low, why does having a meter make it a problem?
Because its a sign that I'm experiencing degradation of my awareness of hypo.
As you are just taking metformin, I expect it is more a sign that your brain is getting used to running on fat.
Marathonmona, the smell of the bread in Asdas has tormented me for 8 weeks now.
Woo hoooo - I just had the results of my HbA1c - still low, actually slightly lower this time - 28, which is still 4.9 (weird because March's 29 was 4.9 as well). Ah well..... maths was never my strongest subject.
Lots of people have mentioned those, will have to try them now I have a meter as I used to love them before and were the ones I usually went forWoo hoooo - I just had the results of my HbA1c - still low, actually slightly lower this time - 28, which is still 4.9 (weird because March's 29 was 4.9 as well). Ah well..... maths was never my strongest subject.
@marathonmona - how are you getting on??
Same here! Do you get the Lidl high protein rolls? They don't smell at all the same as normal bread - but at least they don't spike my BG.

Hello all!!
29! Amazing. So low! Excellent work.
I'm struggling! Let me spell it out :
I've eaten chocolate, chips, and biscuits. Not just the one either. It's not been good.
And to be honest I don't know why! I've been sleeping well, I've had lots of compliments, I've felt great. I have been hungry yes and that's been my main complaint. But this week I've given in. More than once. And it's not like I've been to a nice wedding or sit down meal and enjoyed a 'night off', no, I've just eaten without enjoying it. Ugh. I briefly thought about giving up. I've been here before (usually a lot sooner!) and it's at this point I throw in the towel.
So I need to dig deep and find my motivation again. I've achieved a lot and cannot throw all of this hard work away.
I fee a bit sad and cross with myself but generally I like looking forward and won't sulk for too long.
So I'm here to stay. Obviously for a bit longer than another two weeks haha.
Hope everyone else is ok!!! Please hang on in there with me!!!
