I was on the listed meds before (apart from the Montelukast) I don't eat at regular times during the day, hence the fixed times. The first test is just after getting up in the morning. The last two are just before an evening meal and then 2 1/2 hours after. The daytime tests are more or less...

Having got through Covid unscathed (I had it 3 times with no symptoms) and thus feeling fairly bulletproof I fell off the wagon somewhat. I stopped testing and paid little attention to my diet. I've clambered back on said wagon and found that my levels are higher than I'd like (no surprise...

I drink the Area Lactofree full fat and I've not noticed any spiking or other significant changes in BG. I take it in tea and coffee, along with the occasional monster swig at the fridge door.

My advice for what it's worth is to take the nuclear option and try to ditch the carbs completely. It's almost impossible I believe to achieve zero carb (and possibly not even advisable) but I work on the assumption that if I try to eat absolute zero carbs, the small amount that slip through the...

MyFitnessPal is good. You can scan barcodes for details of foods etc. When I can be bothered to log foods it's what I use.

Yes. 20 a day, and in the spirit of being honest, I enjoy it too much to stop right now.

As far as I'm concerned Brie is medicinal :)

Thats a tricky one, as I won't know how much of it was excess until I reach the weight I'm happy with. The good old BMI model tells me that I should ideally be about 80kgs. I'm currently 112/113, and started out 117/118. I reckon if I got to 80kgs I'd look like I was dying from some awful...

This might be a strange (or entirely ridiculous) question but here goes... How much fat is likely to be involved in the whole fatty liver/pancreas scenario? The reason for asking is that I've lost near on 5kg over the last four weeks (11/09/21 - 14/10/21 to be exact) and I don't look any...

Hi @pinkfoot and thanks for the update. Sorry to hear that the results weren't as you'd hoped, but.....down from 61 to 51 in just six weeks is no mean feat, and you should be encouraged. I reckon if I managed a change that significant I'd celebrate with a potato, rice and pasta sandwich!! The...

Sorry to ask what may be an obvious question, but what does it mean to be 'fat adapted'?

I think you forgot the link

Is the Newcastle diet one that uses shakes and drinks, or am I confusing it with some other diet?

Hi Ian, I'd have to agree that it does indeed look a bit bizarre. I don't eat and can't stomach breakfast at 05:00, so tend not start eating until about 11:00. The total carbs in my daily nut mix never exceeds 25g. The rest of my daily grazing brings me up to about 35g, with my evening meal...

Hi pink foot. I'd be very keen to hear how your test compares to the mysugr estimate. For me it's predicting 44.3 right now, and that's after logging just over three weeks of results. I'm going to book in a test to coincide with three months of regular testing and low-carb eating, and I'm...
