@bigjim19 I get the odd weird one as well, even if I have eaten the same meal the night before ???

Good morning all. It is 5.3 fbs for me. I stayed away from chocolates and has shirataki noodles with chicken and vegetables for lunch yesterday. I heard shirataki noodles have minimal carbs and there good for diabetics.

6.3 another night without sleep... yesterday ate 1700 calories burned 2000 at fitness... if I had slept it would show I guess in form of a lower blood glucose.... now I am determined to lose the gained 20 kg once more ... this time without metformin so my GP does not continuously keep putting my metabolism further and further down along my journey... I am not going to let her have a say this time

LOL Freema, no idea how you burn so many calories at fitness. I could never do that, just too much. Anyway, it is good if you keep it up and take rest days every now and again. Have fun and hope you will achieve your ideal weight in no time.

Regardless of age George, you are a man of infinite jest and I have instantly warmed to you.

Thanks for the encouraging reply @Margaretjamieson. Its good to know there are others like you out there, think I would be tempted to give up if I felt I was on my own

I know how it feels to be battling every day regarding the first reading in the morning but it doesn’t define us! I hope your readings are better as the day goes on! Small victories that’s what I say!

 

[Margaretjamieson]

Morning!
5.6 for me today. Woohoo! First time in the 5s

Well done! ️

 

[Margaretjamieson]

As long as you weren't injured falling off the wagon and you soon remount all will be well.

The Digoxin is for my heart, I reduced the dose by one because of the new heart medication Tambocor.

The bgl is on it's mid week downwards trend but will rise towards the weekend, pretty much like petrol prices here

SO that’s what it was !!!

Good enough excuse as any, I suppose Jim.

Nobody waiting at the pathology shop, so went straight in and got done. She gave a me cup of water as well so I could take the Digoxin afterwards.

Thanks. Good to get back, but I was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow last night!
