What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

5.1 this morning, better than I expected after quite a heavy protein dinner, but also a lot of fat so maybe that helped ( lamb chops and halloumi chips)

@Muddy Cyclist thank you for posting that link , I didn’t know about the slit in the wall either, that was a lovely touch.
Thanks also @OldButBold for the reminder of others who made sacrifices too.

Morning all, late for me and 6.3 this Remembrance Day.

I'd like the opportunity on this special day to post the following. WWII involved many people from many countries, the Great British Empire was still a 'thing' back then. My father was Tibet/Burmese and fought with the British against the Nazis. He settled in the UK after the war and wouldn't hear a bad word spoken about the British or the Monarchy, he loved the fact that he had served 'his Queen'.

We often forget that many that helped the British were not from the Isles. In memory of everyone that served, and to those that gave their lives.

Very true my children’s grandfather came over here from the Caribbean to fight for Britain. And I wouldn’t have had my beautiful children if he hadn’t have fathered my ex husband . The twist and turns of life eh

Not too sure what Unwin's law means. Does it mean that there is an infinite amount of variables?

Kind of. Basically, there are no real guidelines we are all different as regards how many carbs and what kind of food works for us. We all have our own "hinterland" All you can really say is this is what happens to me when I do/eat this (sometimes)

Thank you for explaining it so clearly. Yes - I absolutely agree that all we can say is 'this is what happens to me when I do/eat this (sometimes).

I keep meaning to mention that the video also says that it is helpful to go for a 10 minute walk after eating. I started doing this sometime ago after I read the research done by a New Zealand University that it helped after meal BS.

I forgot about it when I started doing LCHF. Not sure why because I had found it helped in the past. Your video reminded me that it had helped me before and it would be a good idea to start doing it again - which I have done.

Oh dear! I did not see that post of @Cumberland 's. I would be sorry to see you leave, @Cumberland .
 
@Cumberland your post is the saddest post I have read in a long while. It's awful that someone's comments have made you feel like leaving the forum altogether. What a sad day for all that would be. I only go on one thread, I call it the happy chatty one. It never fails to bring a smile to my face and usually on daily basis. It wouldn't be the same without you. But you have to do what's best for you. That said, if you arent back in a week I'm sending out a search party for you. I did it once before with @SaskiaKC and it was 'mission accomplished '. I do hope this won't be 'mission impossible ' and you will soon be back with us. Take care.
