7.0 this morning. I don’t understand it. 8 3/4 miles yesterday (mostly shoveling 3hr 25min) only had coffee with cream, cheddar cheese and some pepperoni. Still better than yesterday’s 8.4 though.

Just got the repair bill for my daughter’s first time behind the wheel. $2500.00 ugh!!!

8.4 this morning. I guess re-warming potatoes is a no no for me. May have been a bad reading but I ran out of strips. I wasn’t able to pick up more yesterday.

I think Tony the Tiger came down with feline diabetes.

I used my dog. Bull mastiff/Rottweiler cross. If I used a selfie you’d think you were looking at the other end of him. His name is “Trouble.”

I agree with There being a genetic link to type2 diabetes but I would never ever do a DNA test. Having that information in my medical file could be a boon for future insurance underwriters. Imagine applying for life insurance after having DNA testing done and then finding out you are also...

6.3 this morning. I wanted to go for a walk but it’s a little too chilly for that (-29°c). I’ll lean my workshop instead. That’ll take a lot longer than any walk I would have taken.

5.2 this morning. What a crazy week!!! We had above 0° temps on Wednesday then Wednesday evening rain, freezing rain then 8” of snow after which the temps quickly dropped back to the-20 to -30° we were having.

One thing I have noticed is the size of berries, they are huge!! I live in northwestern Ontario Canada and there are plenty of wild blueberries, Saskatoon berries, raspberries and strawberries. The wild berries are 1/6-1/4 the size of the ones in the supermarket and have 10x the flavour. Now I...

6.6@6am. I guess that’s the number of the beast today. Too many carbs yesterday. Too much shoveling as well. I really hate winter.

I personally class Facebook to be worse than diabetes.

I thought they only meant Facebook [emoji15]

4.9 today. Yesterday’s 5.3 was the day’s high. Definitely moving in the right direction.

I guess it depends on where you live and what the Dr or lab requires. Kind of hard to have fasting blood glucose taken if you just ate.

But, but......... I though everything on the internet was true!! Now I feel like a real schlup [emoji17]

@shelley262 Dave Feldman at LCDU. He gives a great presentation on cholesterol. Here’s a link. The three days leading up to his cholesterol test he ingested huge amounts of saturated fat. He averages 5000 calories while maintaining keto. He then did the usual 12hr fast before the blood draw...

Diagnosis (roughly 10 years ago) to me wasn’t a big deal. I always felt good but was slowly gaining weight. I saw the diabetes dietician and started following the “Recommended diet.” My numbers did improve and I did lose weight. However over time, the better numbers gave me a false impression...

5.3 this morning. Be well @Granny_grump_

@Granny_grump_ for two days now I have been ranging from just over 6 to just into the 3’s. Yesterday was mostly mid 4’s. I have however been shoveling quite a bit of snow so I’m sure the extra exercise is help. I’m also down almost 2lbs so things are definitely going in my favor.

4.8 this morning. Was at 5.1 before bed so looks like no liver dump today.
