8.9 - Yeah, fed up with the LCHF I dived into a bowl of Museli and yoghurt for breakfast. I should be 6s this pm, but not.

6.3 - Wowser! After Yesterday’s 8.3, 8.9 and bed on 7.7, I was not thinking a low 6. Two changes: a much better sleep and drank four more glasses of water, I realised yesterday I hadn’t been drinking water, seriously, I’d actually forgotten to drink water. So, deeper sleep and rehydration.

A dismal 6.6 today. Had a very low carb food day so I’m assuming it must be the effect of the massive steak I had for dinner.
@ianpspurs my exercise bike very quickly turned into a clothes horse.

Re the clothes horse. You're the 2nd person I've read say that on here. The other went from insulin and hospitalisation to remission and is an inspiration IMHO. Maybe I should throw clothes on mine? Of course it's the meat - surprised there wasn't the odd Methusala of red:angelic: I was 4.9 via Stabbington 6 years ago.

Not even a magnum, but maybe you’re onto something. Perhaps I should be drinking a lot more red when I eat steak. That’s a cheering thought!
