Hello from sunny Mexico. The last three days, 5.6, 5.9, 5.5…..seems this relaxing vibe is good for me. Or is it the 25,000 steps every day? Food has been good and I’m so happy I filled my suitcase with low carb things as it’s a bread, corn and sugar society here. I just can’t eat out..sad...

Well, fun thread. I’m in Mexico now so my great happiness was finding the European sausage factory and getting some homemade jalapeño and cheddar sausages…very good indeed. House made bacon too, something very hard to find here.

Hola! Perfect weather, long walks, good and low carb food….so far so good. 6.3 this morning BUT….after coffee and water and just before we headed out for a long walk it measured 4.0. I didn’t believe it, thought it was an error. Off we went and 15,000 steps later we returned to a big drink of...

6.3…. Sunny and cold, but mild compared to the east coast of Canada. Gym today was a weighted ab routine and a walk. I feel a cold coming on and I’m fighting it! I refuse to be sick on holidays. All checked in for our flights tomorrow, all timers are on the lights, dog to kennel in the...

I also take magnesium bisglycinate every night….sleep like a baby, it’s amazing

Well…hello winter! It’s cold today but the sky is blue. Two days until we leave for Mexico so I’m fine with the Scold, supposed to warm up again after we leave, very strange winter! 7.0 today….sigh Today was a 30 min bike ride, some abs and a killer yoga class. Packing the suitcase today

6.3 today. @grantg , doctor said just as we expected, inflammatory thyroiditis. Apparently caused by a virus that caused his thyroid to release huge amounts of thyroid hormones….he's slowly getting better but very scary. Thanks for asking. Our area is covered in low lying clouds making our...

6.1 today, lowest it’s been for quite some time. Did a nice 30 min treadmill walk and then an upper body weight workout. A we bit of pre holiday shopping too. Cloudy and cold today.

6.5 today, looks like my new normal is in this range. Did weighted abs and a gentle yoga class. Purposely did not hop on a treadmill or bike on my way out of the gym as I am overtraining. Cloudy and cold today. They keep promising sun but it stays above the fog and clouds. No snow in the...

Still alive…. 6.4 this morning, has been higher, up to seven, over the past week. Seems there’s no rhyme nor reason. Numbers ok during the day but honestly I’m testing way less. I continue eating well so I really don’t see the need. If I feel weird I might check. The world is freaking...

6.7. Dexcom expired yesterday, I will miss it but fear I’m becoming addicted to these numbers….so I’m going cold Turkey for a bit….no testing. I’m doing just fine, I know (usually) what spikes my blood. If I feel like **** I will check. Gym was abs, a yoga class (boring), and a 40 min walk...

I did have higher than normal cholesterol but didn't want a statin, and honestly was ok with the higher numbers but my doctor was giving me the side eye…. I started taking Berberine, which has been shown to lower cholesterol and BAM….worked like a charm for both me and hubby. My ratio is 3 and...

5.7 today, good levels all day yesterday. A beautiful blue sky today with plus 3 degrees, sorry about your snowy day! Gym was a walk and then leg weights Baking cookies for hubby this afternoon.

A fun 7.0 today….arggggg Fasted until supper yesterday. Glucose sat in the low 5s all day and was ok after I ate. Why it was 7 this morning is beyond me. Went to the gym and did abs and a ten mile bike ride. Did get glucose down to 5.2 and was 5.8 before lunch. So, normal for now. Warm today...

6.8 today. I’m having a heck of a time with my levels. All day yesterday I could not get below 6.5. This is very, very unusual. Scary too. I ate very well, carbs were just the cauliflower….should not have caused any problems. So today I’m fasting, and I’m mad. I’m hungry….but I’ll wait...
