That'll do it alright... :( I hope you enjoyed it, I love custard.... if I make it low-carb though, what will I put it one? Almond pastry apple pies? :hungry: That's a project for today...

I do sometimes wonder at GPs. I suffer from anxiety so do get them at other times , but the night ones were/ are different. I tested a few times in case I'd had a low but never picked one up, though of course I may have been on a rebound by then. My GP suggested a thinner nightie as I can't take HRT due to family breast cancer risk.

Blimey... idiot.... Could you be eating something with high histamine content that your body doesn't like? I had a panic attack in the night for the first time in my life - woke up in a huge funk, heart beating hard and sweating... frightened for no reason.... looked it up and one thing anxiety comes from is food with a high histamine content sometimes... I'd eaten too much hazel-nut flour cooked into bread and biscuits - plus a couple of other things on top... but it's amazing how badly affected we can be by histamine levels... The list is long of products containing high levels of histamine... I just over-dosed on a few things in one day I think... I'm careful not to eat too much of anything through being too lazy to cook now... :(

Mine have improved since diagnosis so the diabetes must have played a part. It might be worth mentioning it to your HCPs - the least they could do is offer to run an ECG just to check for any possible issues.

Do you think it's improved since diagnosis since you started low-carbing? Could it have been food that you were 'sensitive' to that was triggering your anxiety? I'd be interested to know if anyone else has problems too, and how they deal with them as my poor granddaughter suffers terribly with anxiety and it rules her life sometimes....
 
108/6.2? :(
 
4.8 this morning.
Went to bed on 4.9.
I was a little apprenhensive going to sleep so low, Sleepina got the best of me taking me to the land of dreams..........I Love sleep
 
5.9 this morning according to batch 44.....so I'm thinking more like 5.4 or 5. 5 in truth!
I will endeavour to pop on @AndBreathe's topic and record some of my random highs later.....
 
5.2 with Accu strips supplied by NHS, I am allowed 1 tub every 2 months , so saved them up and using them all at once.

Back to my codefree shortly, not checked the batch number but hoping its not ending 44.

Bloods this morning, first since diagnosis in May, more than a little nervous to see if I have been doing the right thing.

Well we shall see and I will doubtless bore you good people whichever way it goes.

Have a great day.

4.6
Safest place on the planet!
Like being back in the womb I suppose.:cool:
 
Having a four's might have been helped by the fact I'm on a fasting blood test this morning so no grub after ten last night .

Mmmm burgen my favorite is the chai and linseed. Had wheatabix and hot soy milk. I am lucky can get away with moderate carbs
 
7.8 after staying in the 5's and 6's all day yesterday.:banghead:

Today I see the dietician who believes in regular daily monitoring of our bs before and after each meal and morning and night. Let's hope we can solve the mystery of my stubborn fasting bs as I approach the first anniversary of converting to LCHF If I didn't feel so well and couldn't see other improvements, I'd have given up a long time ago based on my fasting results!
