Thank you. A few hours ago my BG was 14.7. (!!!) I haven't had a reading that high since I was first diagnosed. Took a nap and now it's 3.9. (???) It's all over the place. I guess the important thing is I feel well. Not getting high sugar or low sugar symptoms, no headache, etc. I feel pretty...

Hi everyone. 8.6 for me today, but I had minor surgery yesterday, so this old girl's stats are a bit out of sorts. I feel really good though. Rather easy recovery from anaesthesia. Felt healthy and alert. Today I don't even feel like I had an operation (except for the black eye and bleeding...

Thank you @Pipp, @Bittern, and @Brunneria. I feel very well. I noticed the effects of LCHF when recovering - felt healthy, alert. And I had a pretty quick recovery time. Just had a delicious egg, mushrooms, and red onions omelette with cucumber and red pepper slices on the side. @Bittern I...

Hi everyone. I had a surgery yesterday. It was minor, but I was still under general anaesthetic. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! But just to confirm . . . between not eating or drinking before the operation, missed doses of diabetes meds, stress, etc. it's perfectly natural for my...

"Random diabetesness." :hilarious:

5.6. I was only diagnosed this past July and I just had my first bout with having elevated levels (6s and 7s - still in range, but elevated for me) for a period of time (a week) for no reason. I'm not sick. No diet changes. Boy, that's discouraging, eh?

Where's the "Yikes" rating?

Etymology is fascinating, isn't it? I took a course at university 25 years ago and was hooked. It's so interesting to see where words come from and how they are related. Also, I'm in Canada and just east of me in southern Ontario we have Durham Region. It's always interesting to me every time I...

5.7 at 8:36 a.m. here in Canada. Bit relieved as I've been in the 6s and low 7s lately, which is high for me, for no apparent reason. Haven't eaten since 10 p.m. Think I'll just fast and drink water. Swimming later. Happy Saturday.

That looks delicious!

How long have you been trying to lose weight? When I started LCHF I didn't lose a single pound in two months. Then a bunch of weight dropped off. Then nothing for six weeks. Then a bunch of weight. Some of us seem to lose weight in bursts...

I was diagnosed in July with an A1C of 11.8%. My blood glucose steadily decreased but I'd get a lot of spikes. 14.2 one day then 9.8 then back up again. My profile picture is my three-month graph. It wasn't a smooth decrease but spiky as heck.

Whoa. That's amazing! Way to go!

6.5 at 8:20 a.m. Not happy with that. But I did just get taken off a med, and the last time I was there was a period of adjustment. I also would've loved a reading that low back at my July diagnosis when my readings were 16.2. So, perspective! Happy Saturday!

I simultaneously enjoy my low carb food (though I am only five months in) while horribly missing the food I used to eat (pizza, candy, milk). As @zand said I love how the diet makes me feel. No tummy bloating, lots of energy. Oddly, about three years ago (long before my diabetes diagnosis) my...

5.8 at 8:16 a.m. Happy with that as I went off another diabetes medication this week and there's always the concern something will go awry. Happy weekend!

Greetings @Frankie86 and welcome to the Forum!

5.6. Very pleased with that as the only thing I ate yesterday was an entire bag of cheese puffs. Also got taken off Sitagliptin yesterday. Got taken off Jardiance in October. Now only on straight Metformin. :)

I sure can. There is pop like Fresca I like. I'll give it a whirl.

4.8 at 7:16 a.m. "I'm going to stop testing daily." --Me, yesterday. ;)
