Well, here I am! and thank you for this excellent forum being here for all the help available! It's great isn't it? and not to be taken for granted.
So what's my situation? well, I'm concerned, I was told quite sometime ago that I was borderline diabetic, probably not surprising that I'm a bit overweight and that my Dad had type two quite badly, Mum fed him very well and they didn't handle the situation very well at all. I've told myself I'm not going down his route with this, so it's time to do something about it.
My weight currently is 94.1kg, standing at 6'4" tall makes gives me a BMI reading of 25.3. So I need to get below 90kg at least. Blood pressures are quite good usually taking readings first thing in the mornings, this morning typically being 121/81 with a pulse of 78. I also take my weight reading every day at this time too. I'm not on any sort of medication although I am taking supplement B12 tablets from Boots for the last few days. (Blood Group B Negative)
I'll have to be honest that I don't exercise, I eat recklessly... three sugars in my tea! Bloomin heck what are you thinking reading this?? and I drink a pint of home brewed stout every day.
Here's my own data so far....
Sun 3Nov19 -
5.5 Wake up - Before any food or drink. Only a pint of tea 3 hours previously.
5.5 2 hours after breakfast.
4.7 before evening tea 6.30pm.
6.5 2hrs after evening meal 9.45pm
Mon 4Nov19 -
5.6 Wake up - 8.25am
4.8 before cuppa tea 3 sugars at 3.20pm. Hour later 6.3
6.7 before tea 5.16pm - Then Omelette & peas, jam tart & cream.
6.7 after 2 hours 7.30pm.
Tues 5Nov19 -
5.6 Wake up - 8.21am.....BP 121/81 pul 78.....94.1 kg
More to come.... your opinions?
