Hi Everyone,
How are you all feeling this morning, as good as one can expect to be, with this condition, I hope?

For breakfast this morning I had 2 Poached Eggs, with Bacon, Mushrooms and fried Tomato, followed with a hot coffee with Milk and sweetener. I missed out on the low carb bread, by choice for the next day, or two, as I need to see if it has a bearing on my BGL's overall.
Let us know how it goes :)

Hi Debandez,
How are you feeling this morning, or (Night) as good as one can expect to be, with this condition, I hope?

I didn't have any LCBread today for breakfast as you suggested and I'll do the same tomorrow and the next day, just so I get a bearing on whether they affect my BGL's or not. They were 8.9 at 08.30 this morning, so here's hoping for tomorrow, hey!!!

Not effected the way I see your posts @Stemar 2. I know you are struggling to get your BS down and you used not to struggle when you were initially on this forum. You are in the 8s and 9s with your fasting BS. I am no expert but looking at your breakfast im thinking that your low carb bread might be the culprit. When I have bread low carb or not it pushes up My BS reading the following morning.

I have only just recently come across the Low Carb Bread and I though why not give it a go, as the bakery that puts it out makes it in several different combinations like Soy, Linseed and Quinoa, 5 Grain, and a few others. As I use to only eat Wholegrain or Multigrain, prior to this Low Carb Choice. But I thank you for advising me that it could be the culprit, for my BGL's. All I can do now is
find out, hey?

Thanks for the assistance and encouragement, as it makes it easier to succeed when you have someone who is, following the same course of action, as you don't want to be the one who fails so it sort of becomes competitive without really being so but it can make it a bit of Fun, when each day we see who is in front with their numbers for their BGL's.

That's the great thing about this forum. All the encouragement you get is phenominal. Sorry for the delay in replying. On holiday for a week. Soaking up some sunshine. How are your BS doing?

I'm on holiday since Wednesday and have decided I'm going to be a little naughty here and there! Yesterday was the first here (it didn't take me long!). Started off quite well with a continental breakfast. Pot of tea. Cheese ham prosciutto and a slice of brown toast with butter. Now normally this would put me up to the early 7s after 2 hours and take bloods out of the 4s and even 5s the following morning but I kept testing every hour whilst on a mamoth walk around marbella and it kept going down and settled in the 3s! I couldn't believe it so tested twice. It was right. So I took the opportunity of it being so low to have my second naughty in the afternoon. A pasta dish! It was amazing and i lapped it up but my bloods went into the 6s on every test after and remain at 6.0 this morning. No cheats today just tapas for me. And perhaps red wine to keep cool!!! Just getting ready to go for my pre ordered scrambled eggs and bacon.

Your right about the advice you gain from this Forum, as when I originally joined I was 96 kilos and my BGL's were in the high 20's! But with all the help and Advice I received I lost 35 Kilos and lowered my BGL's to the 6's. But then I made the mistake of thinking I had control of this condition and left. But when it all went wrong I knew I had to return for the help I needed and it's working !

I'm so glad to hear that. Very happy that you are gaining control again. It's a wonderful feeling. Well done.
