Morning! So 5.7 this morning. Slightly higher than I’ve been running recently but anything from high 4s to high 5s is good in my book. So today is vacation day. Only away for 6 days and I’ve done a few experiments to get my coping mechanisms in place for not having strict control of my carbs...

Morning everyone! Early weigh in this week as I’m off on my hols today. 99.75! Can’t remember the last time my weight was in double figures! :) Not lowering my target yet as I expect to go back up a bit during my holiday (though I will try to be a little careful and I’ll mitigate the food...

Actually I got this email today:

Another 1.2kg this week. So close to double figures I can taste it!

That would explain a lot. Not had any Issues since getting things under control on my new regime.

Hey! Any downward direction is great! Even the odd up-tick isn’t a killer as long as it’s an aberration. 3lb is a great number. As a person who lost the weight fast (I was close to your weight to start with and have lost 6st in just under 6 months) I can tell you the turkey neck situation is...

Did the nurse suggest Carbs & Cals? It’s what I use on my iPhone and I like it for its simplicity. If it works on Android I do recommend it, but doesn’t have some of the bells and whistles you can get with other apps.

I’m no expert but I trialled the Libre 2 for around a month and I found the numbers to be wildly inaccurate, and not in a way that could be put down to the infamous “lag”. In the end I said forget that and went back to blood monitoring. It’s not fun but at least it’s pretty accurate.

I’ll throw mine on tomorrow (I know it says Fridays but I rarely get the time till Saturday morning). I have a strange feeling it’ll be slightly up though. Hopefully I’m wrong.

Lol! Isn’t that the truth! Just when you think you have it all figured out it does something random that doesn’t fit the pattern.

4.4 this morning. On the low side of what I’d like (given a choice I’d go 4.8 - 5.2) but given the carby meal last night I’m more than happy.

5.0 on the nose for me. Tomorrow could be high though as it’s time for the final test. Large carb meal with bolas dose. I don’t regularly take bolas anymore but am on a strict carb diet. Need to work out what I need to manage carbs where a large carb meal is the only option. (On vacation...

I don't think anyone here is going to say you are being stupid. Your care team will have a standard procedure to deal with sugar levels that they use with all of their patients (at least to start with) and as we all work out pretty quickly, one size does not fit all. As an example I used to be...

I used to get them regularly, but haven't seen them recently. Honestly I didn't know they could be medication related! Given that I've been on a new regime since Late Jan and haven't had one since then it would make a lot of sense.

A solid 5.0 for me. I'll take it because as the saying goes. Five to drive! :)

Try not to sweat the odd uptick, Sometimes these blips just happen. I’ve been losing steadily since late Jan but I’ve had a a couple of odd weeks where I went up. As long as the overall trend is down then it’s all good.

5.4 for me this morning. :)

Our girl is food oriented too. Doesn’t need to lose weight but we do need to watch her portions.

Hey! *waves* Didn’t spot this thread before but as I’m doing the weight loss thing too... :) I’m 102.35 this week. Starting from 140 on Jan 23rd (the day of my DKA *shudder*) I’m on a lower carb intake but not keto (around 95g of carbs a day), lower calories (aiming for 1000 Cals but with a...

4.4 for me this morning. Bit lower than I’d like but not terrible.
