    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    5.8 today, a rainy dreary day….and I love it! We really needed the rain…gotta keep those fires away. Went to the gym but it was a struggle….just didn’t want to be there. Maybe it’s time for a day off. I want to eat bad things….must resist

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    I was annoyed yesterday as my sugar levels seemed higher than normal….about 6.5 all afternoon, weird spike after a carnivore supper and high before bed…high sixes. This is not my normal. Then today…what the heck…5.1 on Dexcom, 5.3 blood test. Today was also my test day to eat something for...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    5.8 today. Both Dexcom and finger prick. Had a weird spike (minor) last night after having half a protein bar (1net carb). I don’t think I handle fake sugar well. In Canada we don’t label for net carb, but total carbs…and I reacted to that higher number. To get the net carbs I subtracted...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Thanks. I exercise daily and have monitored forever( or so it seems) and usually before lunch I’m at 6 or less. No lactose…I just use butter in my coffee and collagen….so just fat and protein. That’s my breakfast. Think I’ll drink more water, I’m one of those people who never get thirsty...

    5.7 today. Went to gym, a leg day and a good Japanese walk. Did some recycling and got some meat…home for lunch and my glucose is 6.9….seriously, what the heck! Time to put another Dexcom on to see what’s happening. Carbs are way less than ten a day…and zero this morning. The sun has...

    5.7 today. Still hot but the clouds have moved in…much cooler tomorrow! Went to the lake this afternoon for a gorgeous walk, just love the sounds of the loons and watching the osprey fly overhead. Dog have a million swims.

    Happy Canada Day! A gym member brought his trumpet to the gym and serenaded us with O Canada, made me smile. It’s a hot one, the sun is shining and it’s gorgeous outside! Supposed to get into the high 30s today. It’s noon now and 29. 6.0 this morning. I can do better.

    Starbucks low carb “frappachino”

    This post came at a great time….i got some beef protein powder, vanilla, from Costco the other day. I was thrilled to see beef protein powder! Today I decided to try some protein rich iced coffee and it was yummy! I wou”d use less powder next time, it was sweet (not sugar, fake sugar). I...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    5.9 today. I think it’s the last day of unpredictable weather. It’s warm, but cloudy, sunny, rainy, windy….and maybe a thunderstorm. Got my bloodwork done this morning, no line ups! Usually I have to wait upwards of an hour…depends on the day. Having my coffee now as I had to fast.
