Luckily the rain held off for the trick or treaters, but it sure is coming down now! 6.4 today, no surprise, I did nibble a few treats as I waited for the kids. It was quiet this year and at the end I was shoving handfuls of treats at the kids. Their faces, OMG…they hit the motherload. Gym...

Happy Halloween! This morning was a ghastly 6.5. Why….and then I remembered I had my flu and Covid shots yesterday, arm a little tender. That’s likely the cause. Gym was a walk and legs.

Oh….6.4 blood prick (checked twice) I was shocked). 5.6 on Dexcom. Very low carb…no carbs at diner and dinner was at 5. Silly pancreas. Gym today was abs and a bike ride. I then recycled our soft plastics, styrofoam and water bottles. I love getting all that out of the garage. Sunny but cool...

5.7 today. Yesterday was a weird day blood glucose wise. I was low, for me, all day. In the 4’s….even after half an apple at lunch. I double checked with a blood test. No idea what was going on, I rarely am in the 4’s. Today I seem back to my normal, maybe a bit lower. I’ll be I...

5.8 this morning, it’s cold ! Minus 3 this morning, blah. Gym was a bike ride and upper body weights. Dollar store for a few Halloween decorations and then Costco for eggs and almond flour….but ended up with lots of other things. That always happens.

I’ll add to this. In Canada we get our GFR numbers also, my last one was 86 (impressive since I’ve gone low carb…used to be less than 60). My blood creatinine is 64 umol/L, urine creatinine is 1.2 mmol/L and no ratio as my albumin was undetectable.

5.9 today…guess who didn’t eat the Halloween treats. Gym today was abs, yoga and a walk. Home now for lunch and then who knows…zero plans. It was -2 degrees this morning and just 5 now, but sunny.

I started taking creatine a week ago. I’m 68 female and lift weights, do yoga and walk a ton. I can never seem to build muscle mass and struggle to keep weight on. I am not on any meds for diabetes. I take 5 mg a day, the max recommended dosage. Feeling pretty darn good theses days with a...

6.5 today…entirely my own fault. Blame the children…it was the Halloween treats. I’m over it, so that’s good. Just back from a lovely walk at our provincial park, cool, windy and wonderful Gym was legs, abs and a walk, I was feeling full of energy! Now it’s a hot cup of tea and call a dear friend

6.2 today. It got colder today, a we bit chilly out there. Just back from a nice dog walk, cuddled up in my chair. This morning was more upper body, bike ride and a short walk at the gym. Hubby diagnosed as hyperthyroid today, interesting. He’s been having severe hip pain, hope the meds to...

No, not AI….that would be interesting. Not even a video link, just a phone call….

6.1 blood prick.. Dexcom is wonky…. Upper body, walk today at the gym. Very windy but warming today, it’s nice! MRI results. Minor increase in dilation of my CBD and pancreatic duct. I hate that there is a change. I contacted my old doctor to ask for a referral for next year (specialist had...

Hmmm.6.3 blood test, 5.2 Dexcom….very unusual. I’ll go with the higher number, sadly. Did abs and yoga today, nice workout. It’s cloudy and windy today…cool also.

5.4 this morning, blood prick as I put a new Dexcom on last night and I don’t trust it for 24 hours (although it’s been good this time). Frost this morning, garden is a disaster. Gym this morning, but I wasn’t feeling well about halfway through, so I left. Feel fine now…no idea.

5.3 this morning…amazing what no carb can do. The bears are out…poop everywhere! Hubby and the dog ran into one on their walk last night. Although we do see the bears every fall we don’t usually see them this much! They are hungry and eating the berries off thenRussian Olive trees…a desperate...
