Day64 (Wed) ND 4.4.
Yesterday was not as temptation full as I had anticipated, and I managed to avoid having all but a tiny portion of birthday cake, which I covered in cream and enjoyed very much.
Dinner was fish and salad, so maybe I have not lost all semblance of ketosis, although I am rather afraid to check.
Last full day of ND tomorrow, and a visit to a dietitian to discuss how to go on from here.

Go on give us your blood!
 
5.0 this morning, been 1 month today since diagnosis. Looking back my first fasting level I recorded on the 15/04/15 was 13.3mmol.
 
Patiently waiting for the postman as I have run out of strips. Ordered more on Monday so they should be here today.

Edit: Oh dear, postman has been but no strips! Unusual as the supplier is fairly local...

I'm trying to cut down my carbs and eat more fruit and vegs. Am used to low fat diet with Slimming World, and can't do high fat because of high cholesterol, so I used to eat lots of pasta and rice dishes. Don't do S W any more as am way below target and don't want to lose any more weight. Am trying to get to the gym 3x per week, so maybe the new tablets will kick in soon, have only been on them for 2 weeks and also testing for same length of time. Perhaps I'm being impatient.

It could be worth investigating a low carb diet (with more fat) as a way of tackling your cholesterol. It's counter-intuitive but the majority of those on a low carb diet report much-improved cholesterol profiles. Planning what you what you eat and optimising the kinds of fats (less Omega 6 and more Omega 3, especially fish oils with EPA and DHA) in your diet is highly recommended. Fruit and sweet/starchy veg probably won't be doing you any favours.
 
5.6 am, which is okay for me, last night was bonkers... pre 5.9 and post 5.9..... got a strep throat and just want to stuff food into my tum... it's not a hunger thing.... just physical... my pre are nearly in the 4's now... could have been a duff test but didn't have time for another.... fish was cooking...
