What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

[Ryhia]

No I'm not following a low Carb diet yet I am running a balanced diet with slightly lower carbs and raised protein content doing about 1500 calories a day. I have lost 21KG and my waist has gone from 46 down to 39. Still have a way to go yet.

You look to be doing very well on the eating plan you are using, are you on any meds or are you tackling this by diet alone?

Well done you! Excellent. As a side note, I always get kick from hearing from you, in the Antipodes, registering your morning test, whilst I’m about to knock-off for the day. So G’day to yah!

Thank you! Yeah it is alittle odd i’m checking in from the future! G’day!

chuck another shrimp on the barbie

Or in Afrikaans: “Gooi nog 'n garnale op die braai!” I did spend 5 years out there.

Good win but ........ what is the Z cars all about?

Z cars tune is originally a folk song about the city. Enough of the derailing, though.
A respectable 5.7 for me today.

10.6 today. I’m not too concerned as I’ve been experimenting with low carb (around 50-100g) as opposed to keto. The latter brings my BGS down quickly, but it makes me miserable and I struggle to sustain. Hopefully combining the former with Jessie Inchauspe’s hacks will pay dividends in the medium term.

5.0 this morning. Had an awful sleep last night - dosed off, then woke up cold - the window was open, couldn't get warm after that plus my busy legs syndrome kicked into play - finally gave up trying, so went to watch some TV for a while until I felt more relaxed. Think the busy legs may have been the result of the walking I did yesterday, went to Hamsterley Forest which can be quite hilly, I have never been any good at walking up hills, it didn't help that we were intending doing a 5 mile trail, strayed off track a little (in reality got lost) and ended up doing more like 7.5 which isn't so bad as at one point we found ourselves on the "Red" mountain bike trail which stretches 14 miles over pretty rough terrain, glad we didn't have to follow that one through to the end.

Morning All. 6.8 so nice respite from the 7s. Out to visit son today and lunch at his local pub which does a good roast and happy to swap pots & yorkies for extra veg.

8.1 - back down from the 10s which is great. Plenty of exercise yesterday which helped.

Also this means I’ve halved my fasting blood glucose in one week!

 

[Ryhia]

5.5 this morning.

 

[Pipp]

Stuck on 5.7. No complaints.

 

[mojo37]

7.5 even though it's not a great number it's the best in a while
