Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

Status
Not open for further replies.
I've been remiss and not posted for a couple of days. Let's see if I can find the numbers.

Day before yesterday: bedtime 6.5 fasting 5.7
Yesterday: bedtime 5.5 fasting 6.0
Today: bedtime 5.7 fasting 5.1
 
It's coffee blitzed in the blender - or NutriBullet - with, for me, a large tsp of proper, good quality grass-fed butter and another of pure coconut oil.. I suppose you could use a hand blender, or a whisk too... It comes out like a creamy latte or cappuccino... some use more and some less of the fats.. sometimes I put a dash of cream in too.. :) I use espresso with a little hot water, but I like it strong... I do the same with cacao - add some Stevia, dash of cream and sometimes a spoonful of peanut butter, water, off the boil, and it's lush..... It came from a chap who watched the sherpas in Nepal go all day on a can of tea - they whisk it up with fermented yak's milk and butter of course - they can last all day, climbing in freezing conditions, on it.. :) So this chap developed a more palatable and easy way for us to nourish ourselves... we'd find it hard without a yak in the backyard I imagine... But you actually don't feel hungry, so when you're on the run, it's really good - I put mine in a small flask if I'm really rushing around... :)
Thanks Susikav I might give it a go ,I did buy a nutribullet at the beginning of the year you know when you are full of good intentions lol .:)
 
What is this bullet proof coffee I keep hearing about I suppose I should google :)
Hola mojo37

Just back from my yomp around seven oaks. Didn't find any yaks but the pork scratchings and bag of peanut butter got me round.

susikav has wrapped it up in a (pea) nut shell. Soooooo going to try that recipe.

Cheers.
 
Catch up time again...

I think I posted Thursday's fasting result of 6.7 already,so:
Friday 6.5
Sat 6.5
Today (Sunday) a more respectable 5.8
and I'm actually feeling more like my "normal" self, so I reckon I can definitely (well probably anyway!) blame state of health for many of my higher efforts.

5.7 this morning. Only back home now hence the late posting. As predicted yesterday I was higher this morning, due to a very nice curry out in Leeds. It is quite marked how any indiscretions show up straight away on my fasting figures, this is my highest reading this year.
