So I've been up and down, side to side and really depressed with the whole diabetes situation of late, I really hate being on insulin! I watched a video by Jason Fung and probably not right for me to, but have decided to try and stop insulin, I think I should reduce first but what the heck.
Yesterday no insulin in morning
B 5 mushrooms and 6 cherry tomatoes in coconut oil (8.8 pre, 7.1 post)
L prawn and green veg stir fry (5.6 pre, 6.0 post)
Cup of Bovril & plenty of water
At about 4pm started getting a banging headache, did some chores after work and headache increased, tested at 6pm as felt shaky 4.7
D same as lunch and 2 sq. 70% choc (2hr post 8.3) headache subsided but still in background.
Before bed at 11:00 was at 7.9, awoke at 01:30 with bad head, nausea feeling and tight chest, tested and was 8.0, went downstairs and had small bowl of shreddies, 30 mins later my head cleared completely so back off to sleep (wonder if lack of carbs was cause of head etc..? )
Today fbg 8.7 (generally same as when I have insulin)
B same as yesterday (2 hr post 7.4)
L bacon sandwich on 2 slices of livlife piece of cheese (pre 6.1 post 7.9)
Afternoons chores, cutting grass and cleaning BBQ now the sun is back
D rump steak 2 sausages (black farmers) and 3 mushrooms all done on newly cleaned bbq, steak was lovely! small salad with it, pudding was the wife's attempt at homemade coconut ice cream (no sugar or eggs) tastes like frozen coconut ice ( she is doing okay, but tried going back to work last night and came home halfway through shift in tears, her mouth stopped working properly, poor thing) anyway ( pre 7.1 post tbc no insulin taken)
I'm still on my metformin but bored of eating at set times with insulin so thought I'd try this experiment, foolish thinking or worth seeing what my body does ??
