5.9 this morning, Dexcom. The hospital called this morning and told me I could go in any time for my mammogram, which was scheduled for later this afternoon. Quickly finished my workout and headed there. They ended up having to double check one spot and then I had to go for an ultrasound...

A sad, but expected, 6.5. Have started antibiotics for the diverticulitis so things should improve. I should have known something was wrong. I did go to the gym for a slow walk (too painful when I go fast) and a very easy yoga class…no problems. I’ll still, and always, be low carb (usually...

5.7 today. Think I know why I’ve been feeling like **** lately….an episode of diverticulitis. I wasn’t having pain but was symptomatic for sure. Today getting small pains (left lower belly area) so I’m fairly confident. Went without breakfast and will eat a light lunch and just take a day...

5.8 today….i had a meltdown yesterday, full on cry. No carbs for two weeks, no snacking, not eating after 5….and still my blood sugar seems high….high sixes during the day. I’m so incredibly frustrated but also know that my pancreas is not all there…the tail is shrivelled and dead. Low carb...

5.4 today. It stayed very warm last night….yuck. Not feeling 100% today, hope,that passes soon. I really want a fresh peach…it’s the season! Won’t happen. A girl can dream. Another hot one today. The air smelled of smoke this morning, not sure what direction that’s from. It’s our first day...

I actually forgot to test this morning…so happy to not be constantly thinking about it. Did test after coffee and ground beef with butter…was 5.7 Hot, hot , hot today….heat warning for the next three days.

5.9 today, blood prick. Bummer… Two weeks into zero carbs Heat warning coming, summer is back.

5.0 on Dexcom, 5.6 finger prick….the Dexcom was so close to being expired. It’s off my arm now. I had two good days of low sugars and, as usual, my body is adjusting itself and the numbers are going back to my normal….frustrating but not unexpected. The sun is,out, the heat is ON and we’re in...

Oh wow…. 5.0 on Dexcom, that can’t be right…..5.1 finger prick! I’m one happy camper! I forget what day I’m on of zero carb but maybe my liver has finally dumped it’s excess sugar…who knows, I’m just calling it a win for today because tomorrow could be, and likely will be, back to normal. The...

I’ve been rejected…..went to give blood today and they sent me packing. Didn't think that getting my ears repierced would affect anything….but it’s a big old no no for donating. Bummer…must wait three months. Forgot to look at my glucose this morning but I don’t think it’s any different than...

Same as yesterday..5.2 on Dexcom, 5.4 blood prick. They keep saying it’ll get smokey here but nothing yet, fingers crossed. Had my first real yoga class in over a month (I have just been doing my own) and it was nice. Did abs also. Just back from a nice walk with the dog and husband. It’s a...

5.2 on Dexcom, 5.4 on metre. Daytime numbers were pretty good yesterday, my pancreas was doing a great job. Today I seem to be back to my normal high five’s and low 6…that’s ok, no spikes at all. Sun is shining. They keep saying we’re getting Smokey skies but it has yet to happen. I’m happy...

5.8 today. The sun is shining but I think we are still under a thunderstorm watch. Had hours of rolling thunder yesterday but no local lightning, thank goodness. Some small fires started in towns near us, but nothing here. Yoga and abs today. Day six of no carbs…looks like I’ll need to wait...

5.8 this morning. A lovely rain last night, much needed for the fires. Good workout today and good sugar control ….did not rise too much. Day five full carnivore. Feeling great. I let my pierced ears heal over a while back and today I decided to have my ears repierced. Haircut yesterday...

5.5 today. I don’t like it when it doesn’t cool down overnight…it was a warm one yesterday. We’re lucky to still have clear skies…meaning no smoke. There’s a few fires around here so I’m expecting some bad air soon.. Good workout and then a haircut this morning. Day four of full carnivore...
