3.7 at 6 am Oops! Trying alternate day fasting (actually 36 hrs) for first time. According to my G6 BG had been steady around that range since midnight. But my DP kicked in and 4.4 by 6.30 am with no carbs. Need some more days before I try to adjust basal or ratios - wouldn't risk this experiment without my CGM.

4.4 Have a great day everyone.

5.6 for me today

 

[HeliGary]

6.2 at 0645.
6.7 at 0845, after a quick run and some breakfast.

Not too surprised by the 6.2, had some wholemeal pancakes with xylitol last night.

6.1 again.
Pancakes with coconut flour, no sweetner, but lime juice and FfGreek yogurt, with blueberries.
Ok, so now it is Lent. Seems like a time of fasting is in order.

Trying a new way of eating as I have piled on the body fat over last two years - also know from ultrasound that I have had a fatty liver for most of the last 10 years. Sadly no quick fix until my liver fully detoxed and unlikely I'll lose the much hated subcutaneous fat until liver fat depleted...need to gear up for the long haul. On positive note most other health markers and muscle strength continually improving.

7.8. Whhhaaaa!
No sure if I ought to repeat the steak and red wine dinner, just to check that is not the cause.

Yes it might need a repeat just to be sure

6.4 today. Fed up with it. I’m going to take a break from testing for a while as it doesn’t make a blind bit of difference to how I try to manage it.

Missing you already.
We seem to be going through the same sort of sticky 6s patch.
Don’t be long away.

Thank you!
I think I’ll give it a week. I hope you’ll be through the sticky sixes when I get back too.

5.3 today. They aren't repeating my hba1c even though I had bloods taken because it's less than 3 months. I'd hoped to get a view on whether I could stop meds. Oh well, patience Andy!

6.7 this morning- no sleep at all. Time for work.

 

[HeliGary]

6.6 this morning at 0640, was lower when I went to bed last night.

Is the dawn effect a time based thing, an activity based thing or an awakeness based thing ? I only ask as I am used to seeing sub 6 BG after getting up and and overnight fast of 10-12 hours, but last few days it’s been higher and I’ve been waking up early due to my shoulder aching.

Run done for the day, sub 7 minute kilometres for the first time today. A month ago I was happy to do sub 10 minutes per km.
