aubergine
I'm stood here on the bathroom floor
Lancet poised, its blood to draw
It's such a tiresome daily chore
But one, I fear, I can't ignore
The meter's saying 6.4
It's not the most exciting score
I have it several times before
My record lately has been poor
So I should be pleased that it's not more

(somebody stop me)

6.4 ain't too bad
there are worse numbers to be had.

...like 6.6. Morning All. I think late suppers and late rising doesnt help but will keep trying to improve. Cooking the Lamb shanks Madras recipe today, son and his friend coming to dinner. Meant to cook it yesterday but ran out of steam.
Hope you all have a relaxing Saturday. Stsy well, safeand in control

Hi all
5.0 this am very happy as had friends round and nibbled till quite late
@DJC3 I’m so delighted and relieved for you
@Debandez hope surgery meeting goes great I’m sure it will with your enthusiasm!
If anyone is interested my interview from low carb programme which a group of us did including @Goonergal @Debandez and @DJC3 from this thread was released yesterday evening.they seem to be releasing them a few at a time. If you want a peep see:
https://www.lowcarbprogram.com/going-low-carb-helped-michelle-come-off-metformin/
It’s odd seeing yourself on video but hoping it helps spread low carb message so people have all the information needed to make a choice as to if it would suit and help them or not.
Hope everyone has a brilliant Friday.

I have just watched the video of your interview. What struck me was the downsides that people seem to fixate upon. Like you, I get comments about such things as cholesterol, but mine have always been fine. I love your comment on some foods being “fillers” , great way to think about it. Good luck to your mum, I wish I could persuade my mother in law to do similar.

People. Noise. Swearing. Many foods.
3.3! Way too low but my appetite is severely diminished at the moment and starting from a very narrow diet to begin with and then having it shrink further, is not ideal.

So, aim for today, more carbs.
