people who think nothing is wrong with you because they do not see blood or a plaster cast, i suffer with arthritis & use a zimmer & wheelchair but because they cant see anything wrong people assume nothing is wrong with you.
Hi and breathe.
Under dn also saw podiatrist this morning she as changed dressing put special dressings on.
I am under so much stress & infection in toe causing high sugars.
But 2st on because of steroids but managed to loose it again.
I used to be 17st 10lbs now 13st 10lbs loss of 4 St.
So eating healthy see Dr tomorrow they are keeping a close eye on me.
Having a talk with one son tomorrow he his 33 but expects us to run rings round him.

Morning all.

Mine was 17.5 at 6am :(.

I started LCHF last week so am a bit fed up about it. I'm guessing its DP as before bed it was 10.... still high but down on recent weeks. I'll test again mid morning.

Hi, it takes a few weeks to get the hang of LCHF. If you stick to it, it will come down. What are you eating?

:( 8.1 this morning (8.4 at bedtime). I had strawberries, 6 large ones, for dessert last night with my FF Greek Yoghurt as an experiment and I guess I will have to rule them off my list of can-eats.
Try the strawberries again, but at a different time. I often eat them at night with cream.

80 mg/dl or 4.44 mmoles/l

Average for the last 10 days is 83 mg/dl with a standard deviation of +- 3 mg/dl . These results reflect the

influence of increased fibre intake.

interesting that you point that out. i also noticed if i consume a minimal amount of vegetables with dinner, my FBG the next morning more often than not is lower than if i do not consume veggies..unfortunately, i think my stomach is not particularly fond of my veggie intake. :)

Well, it was 10.4 this morning so that's an improvement. Food wise, I do get a bit stuck, but generally breakfast is either bacon, eggs & mushrooms or crustless quiche made with cream, bacon & mushrooms. Lunches are varied but low carb. Dinners tends to be meat eggs and mushrooms or stir fry. Mushroom feature heavily as you can see :)

5.7 this morning- after going to bed on 5.7
I didn't really know what to expect today as I had my main meal at 3.30pm due to my 5-10 pm shift when I got home I had a cold black farmers sausage while making my hot chocolate, probably should have had more but didn't want to eat too much too late, may experiment more tonight as I'm on same shift again- really enjoyed my first last night, an eye - opener into society and how homelessness is perceived!

A rotten 6.8 accompanied by a running nose and aching limbs so hoping it's that. Going to have to dig the threads out on DP as I was 5.6 at bedtime.
