Mmmm! If your GP thinks low carb doesn’t bring down BG maybe it’s your chance to ask him what he thinks does.

How is the experiment going @JTL is it working for you?

I agree with what others have suggested. Rather than eat more carbs which could have a detrimental affect on your diabetes, why not make an appointment with your GP to discuss the possibility of altering your BP medication? I’m on medication for hypertension, plus medication for my diabetes and...

Welcome back @Margarettt I have also veered off track since end of June. I had decompression surgery on 1st July and since then acted, some days, as if I wasn’t a diabetic, (not all the time but chocolate and ice cream featured heavily when I was feeling sorry for myself). I started back in...

My usual fingerprick results every morning are around the high 5s and low 6s. I had my hba1c done a couple of months ago and it was 54. So just thought I’d give you my results based on my daily mmols. It might be a bit optimistic for it to be 35 but of course everyone is different and as you...

5.7 at 7:30! Pleased with that. Just shows going low carb works as I was 15.1 at the beginning of last week o_O Think I ate too much yesterday though. Felt a bit bloated when I went to bed. Must try harder today. Have a terrific Tuesday x

I refuse to take statins as well but get asked by my GP if I’d like to take one! He laughs when he asks as he now knows what the answer will be! I still have a cholesterol blood test every year though. Your doctor sounds like she’s blackmailing you! @Bikester which I think is outrageous :mad:

7.1 at 8am! I couldn’t sleep last night so decided to make mayonnaise! Who in their right mind would make mayonnaise at midnight :rolleyes: Anyway, starting a 3 day (hopefully I’ll stick it out!) fat fast today to kick start my weight loss, bring my BG down and try to get rid of the sweet...

Wiggins (That is actually my dogs name :))

Oops! Had visitors and they didn’t leave until 6:55. Just finishing my meal with a coffee, it’s 7:23

Down 2lbs from Sunday. Just shows when my BG goes down, the weight starts to come off!

Yay! Out of the teens! 9.1 at 7:45. Have a fun Friday everyone x

Finished by 6:35 and had time for a decaf!

Just another thought @Gezzabelle have you got an air fryer? You can cook frozen chicken thighs and drumsticks in it so no need for planning and remembering to defrost and I’ve just seen a recipe where someone got minced beef (or could be lamb) mixed in her favourite spices, divided it up into...

12 exactly Oh dear! :rolleyes: Have a good Thursday everyone x

I used to have so much hair I couldn’t get a comb through it and had to always use a brush. It started getting thinner in my 50s and then really thin in my 60 especially at my temples. I heard by increasing protein it would help. So I don’t know if it was that or now I’m out the other side of...

@Gezzabelle I know exactly where you are coming from as I now live on my own and a lot of the time especially in the last few weeks (I’ve had an operation) I couldn’t be bothered to cook for myself and just had sandwiches. But as I’ve gained weight and my blood sugar has gone back into the teens...

Breakfast - large coffee with almond milk and double cream mid morning more coffee made the same way as for breakfast. Lunch - crispy cold bacon (done in the oven yesterday) Hard boiled egg, sliced on Warburtons Danish light bread Dinner - 6 chicken drumsticks done in air fryer and a little...

Well my recovery isn’t going as well as I expected and it’s still hurting like hell! I’m taking naproxen and pregabalin and occasionally topping it up with paracetamol so not sure how that is affecting my blood sugar. The consultant (and my daughter, who is a nurse) are telling me my...

Hi folks I know it’s been a very long time but I’m back! Finished eating at 5:45! Good to see you’re all still keeping up with the challenge :cool:
