Good news about the return of normal service @Goonergal and @Emma_369. @HarrisonK great fbg and @Charis1213 I hate winter as well. No fbg from me I am still on end of season tour. @jjraak waiting for my new Nike snood and neck gaiter but had to resort to the '66 World Cup winners onesey this morning.
Have a great day troops, play nice and share your toys (maybe not that one madam:angelic:)

Morning All. 6.2 at 0800 same as bedtime.
@jjraak I wonder if the 5.7 stops near me though the 5.5 would suit me better every day. Great gave me first smile of the day.
Have a great Friday everyone. Stay well, safe and warm and in control

Hi @AngiH .

i thinks it's like the break up of a relationship, and they've moved out and your trying to move on.

So new clothes, a haircut for the ladies, a lads night out for the boys..
but there are still echoes of them
all over your life, whenever your alone...
(you know, that unexpected 'happy' pic from a holiday that you find pops up on your timeline, type thing)

Same with the body..lots of hidey holes for the sugars/fats to seep out from i believe.
less of an Oil Change on the car, and your good to go....
More like tipping out the oil with a teaspoon, and using the teaspoon to then top up with new oil.

(the liver is a big storage depot, as i understand it, and will actively GIVE you higher levels as it tries to counter balance your new way of eating, until it re-sets itself / depletes the fat storage, and then adapts to the new regime.)

A great start, but don't beat yourself up...i think these things take a little time.

Hi jjraak

Thank you. I love your explanation, it totally makes sense. I keep thinking my preD diagnosis is wrong (AC1 43) as my levels don't spike too much in the day, but then the morning ones are not those of someone without diabetes. But regardless I know I'm doing the right thing following LCHF as I'll feel healthier and hopefully loose weight and lower my blood pressure all while getting those lower bg readings.
 
Morning all , late up this morning and higher number at 6.4. The upside news is I found a place that sells nitrate free bacon ( Brand name Naked) ... Its the first time I've done the bacon and egg thing for a good while... stay well all... http://nitratefreebacon.com
 
Good morning to you all. fbs of 8.0 today. Better than the last 2 days but still too high.Very stressful day yesterday but slept well last night ( exhausted!) and hardly any carbs yesterday so who knows?! Have a good day and enjoy the forthcoming week-end.:)
