Hi
I have been posting here for a number of years, usually measuring FBG every other day along with an assortment of readings at other times and a detailed breakdown of nutrient intake and exercise.
Does this mean that my posts will be deleted every other day?
If so, this doesn't seem to be particularly gentle.
This thread has always been friendly with contributors sharing holistic information on all aspects of diet, exercise and measurement. There has never been, to the best of my knowledge, a single cross word or even mild disagreement. I am not convinced that it requires censorship.
 
Mods have considered your post very carefully midnightrider2, and have taken time to read back over the many posts in the thread, on reflection we consider the title & the opening post a little contradictory
===============================
The title of the thread is

Fasting Blood Sugar this morning + yesterday's food AND physical activity​

this is the purpose of the thread as set out by the OP “What you eat and what you do one day has a big impact on your FBG the next. So, I thought I'd start this thread to see if there are others out there that enjoy incorporating physical activity as well as diet in the approach to dealing with T2. So that we can post what we are eating, our physical activities and their impact on BG.”
================

We are happy that posting FBG every other day could be considered within the ethos of the thread. But given that it is intended to match food and exercise one day with how it affects BG a post will need to contain at least 1 daily BG measurement, either a FBG or one taken after exercise for example

If you wish to create a thread just for posting food and exercise mods would be happy for you to do that.
