We went to Japan last fall, lovely. I had a lot of problems with food though. I am very low carb and also gluten free, so finding anything without soy sauce was hard. I also don’t do seafood…. Gluten free things in Japan are just not a thing. As a cheese lover I was disappointed….you won’t...

Well, it’s been a bit…. I’ve been focused on my carb intake…or lack thereof. I’m almost strict carnivore, but do eat spices and some carb free condiments. It’s been awesome and my blood sugars have improved a lot. This morning was 5.7. It’s been about 12 days so I’m happy with that. I don’t...

6.3 today. After the gym and just before lunch it was 6.9. No idea why…. Gym was a short walk, some leg weights and a short bike ride before a killer yoga class. I wasn’t feeling it today…. Still warm here but cloudy today.

I had a lovely birthday, thanks for all the good wishes! 6.8 this morning, i’m so baffled….and frustrated. Gym today was 50 min of walking, shoulder, biceps and triceps weights. Heading for a nice drive today to meet up with an old high school buddy. Will hit up a local garden centre too…my...

I’m back…it’s my birthday today and I did say I’d come back with a progress report…. So, my blood sugar readings were creeping up to levels I just haven’t experienced before. After a good long chat with myself I decided to go extremely low carb….less than ten a day and less if possible. It’s...

@flonvic ….a very happy birthday to you! Hope you have a very special day. Not posting my numbers for a bit…..doing a huge reset on my body and mind…I’ll be back next week on my own birthday. I really needed to give myself a good taking to.. Happy Easter to all

6.8 Just a few more days of cold weather…then spring! Gym was abs and a yoga class. Going for a nice walk soon…. Made a few chaffles to use as pizza crusts for tonight’s pizza night.

7.0 Cold morning but the sun is shining and the birds are active. Gym was a chest and back day before an appointment. Did a we bit of shopping before I came home. Just back from a lovely walk, the ponds are brimming with ducks, koots, geese and muskrats.

6.7 today My fasting insulin was at a great level, 37. But with my fasting glucose at 6.4 it makes my HOMA IR 1.8….lower than the threshold of insulin resistance….sure wish I could get that fasting glucose down to really improve that number Today’s gym was shoulders, biceps and triceps. A few...

6.1 today, I’ll take it. Doc said I should take an iron supplement for a while, retest in three months. I’m cutting my Berberine down to one pill for a bit. Adding some vitamin c also for absorption. Hopefully I’ll feel a little perkier soon Gym was abs, a walk and a yoga class.

6.9 today. I got most of my results back, and although my A1C is up it’s not as bad as I thought at 6.4 (46-47). Still waiting on fasting insulin and c peptide. My vitamin b12 numbers are fine, but ferritin is low. Will chat with doctor in a few hours. I think I need to consider adding...

7.1. My brain can’t take this…. Did go for an ultrasound and then my bloodwork today. Hopefully will get some answers…..and not more questions. No gym today as I was booked. Nice walk around the ponds, the ducks and geese and making a huge and wonderful racket. Did some damage on the credit...

Loosing my patience…7.0 today. I did have a bit of a revelation though….low hemoglobin does cause higher blood sugar readings. I need to get this fixed to see if that’s the problem. Bloodwork tomorrow. I expect A1C will be high because of all this. The doc is testing b12 levels, diet is not...

6.5…..I’m over this… Ok, it’s all ok… Gym was shoulders, biceps and triceps, a 30 min walk. Just finished my first phone doctor appointment…I hate this. So I’ll get a refill for my thyroid meds…but just for 3 months, no refills. Ahhhhh…I’ve been on the same meds and dosage for years. He did...

6.3 today. Another cool, spring day….minus 3 this morning. Gym was a leg day, then I did a small Costco shop….i needed good cheese.
