At a fiver a loaf to expensive . I actually really like livlife and at only 1.55 a loaf it’ll do for me. And only 3.8 grs of carbs a slice

Thank you I just get very sceptical of firms that post on Facebook. But thanks for the heads up

Ok thanks I don’t know I still think it’s a bit iffy

Just came across this . Surely it’s a load of auld rubbish . You can get HbA1c results from a finger prick Hi Peadair, sorry for any worry caused. All of the tests we offer (including HbA1c) can be accurately tested via finger-prick. You can read more here...

Ok so I had no food last night after 6 30 pm just a coffee with double cream . Got up at 06:10 this morning to a 6.3 on one finger tried another finger 7.0 tried another 6.3 . Maybe I’ve got an infection or something . Really am confused . Gonna have some bacon and eggs and have nothing till...

Tell me about it . You’d think with all the work and walking all day the bloods would be normal all the time on top of the low carb . I’m gonna start 12 hr fast from 6 pm to 6am see what happens

Hiya crocodile thanks for the reply . I’ve been having a coffee with cream and some cheese before bed for ages . It just stopped working . I’m gonna try a 12 hr fast from teatime to 6 am see how that goes . The highs are around 6.5 and still at 6 to 6.5 at lunch after a morning working and...

Thank you for the replies . I’ve been low carb for 2.5 years now since diagnosis . My day would consist of Brekkie at 06:15 2 eggs , 2 bacon , grated cheddar , coffee double cream and a benecol. Lunch is normally a piece of chicken and some nuts . Coffee and cream , Pepsi max . dinner : meat...

Can low carb High fat with lots of meat etc , so high protein. Raise your glucose levels and if so how can you counter this my fb is around 6.5 every morning and not going down till late afternoon to around 5.3 or 5.5 yet I’m eating about 40 to 50 gems of carbs a day

I would agree my cholesterol test came back huge . Went from 6.1 to 8.6 In 6 months . But I reckon it was the bacon , eggs, and double cream coffee that morning that did it . Just didn’t think coz the doc says you don’t have to fast . But I’ll bet you should . Next one will be a 12 hr fast

Thanks for the reply Ian . My walk to work is only 15 mins away and I test before I start any physical work . Before this started my bs reading would go down after my walk to work . It’s really annoying that you put so much effort into low carving and tryin to do right then out of the blue you...

My bs is normally quite well controlled last HbA1c was 38. But recently my fbs are a concern . I’m pretty low carb so it’s a worry . Eg this morning my fb was 5.7 , not to bad . Had eggs bacon some grated cheddar , coffee with double cream,and a benecol drink . Walked to work , about 2.5 km...

4.6 Steak mushrooms . And red wine [emoji1303][emoji1303]

Ok so 5.5 this morning . Higher readings must’ve been from getting up later . I’ve been working a different shift this last week so getting up at 8 got up at my normal time this morning and hence the lower reading . Hopefully stays there . I’ll have a bit to eat then have a nap before work

My normal fbs are between 5.3 and 5.7 . If I have a drink the night before they’re about 4.9. According to my meter my average fbs is 5.6 . I eat really low carb mainly meat and cheese with some peppers mushrooms and green beans thrown in

6.1 at 0800 . Confused as had about 20 g of carbs yesterday . Bit of cheese before bed . 6.1 for the last 4 or 5 days Any suggestions

I was using double cream in my coffee and was going through a lot of coffee and double cream a week . My cholesterol went through the roof up to 8.6 so I stopped . Started using milk again and my fbg went back up to around 6.3 . Looks like o can’t win

6.1 today keeps creeping up . Maybe drinking to much wine in the evening and munching peanuts . Struggling a bit with this lockdown . No work and no motivation .

The cream is not an option cholesterol at 8.6 . Think I’ll just see how it goes over maybe a week . Could be a glitch . Waking up about 2 hrs later than usual as well so could be DP . Thanks for the advice bud .

Thanks for the response. Tested about 3 hrs later and it was 5.6 . Just wondering if it was the wine . I’ve been drinking more lately since the lockdown . Or the fact that I’ve started using milk in my coffee instead of double cream as my cholesterol was very high the last time and I was using...
