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

    6.8 this morning. I really figured I would be in the 5’s. Yesterday I started at 6.0 and by midday was at 3.9 then 5.4 before bed. I really dislike liver dumps.

    Some thoughts about Insulin Resistance

    I’m finding this thread very interesting to read. One thing I am also curious about is if vit D and the lack of sunlight during the winter has anything to do with insulin levels. All my life I have put on weight starting in mid September like clockwork. It usually always comes off once the...

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

    6.9 this morning so a little better than yesterday. Went for fish n chips last evening. Tested 5.1 before and 5.9 two hours later. I can enjoy that treat occasionally I guess.

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

    @Granny_grump_ after the 7.9 this morning my bg’s have been low to mid 5’s so far today. I’m starting to feel a bit better now. Things are starting to move (if you know what I mean).

    Snoring

    Im 53 now. I was told by my mother that I snored from birth. Finally a couple years ago I demanded my Dr send me for a sleep study. I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. In the overnight stay I had stopped breathing 94 times. I was prescribed a cpap machine and now no more snoring but...

    The SCREAM thread

    She is signed up for driver training. We do however want her to get a little driving time in before she starts in February. We decided to bring her to a light industrial area in the evenings to practice. The area is quiet, little if any traffic and quite a few large parking areas to practice in.

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

    @Granny_grump_ I saw my Dr yesterday for my blood work review. He checked my temp which was slightly elevated but wasn’t too concerned. He suggested a laxative so I’m trying that out. Aside from my elevated cholesterol, he seemed happy with my blood work and overall health.

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

    @Granny_grump_ I’m still a little under the weather. I’ve been feeling bloated and have a sour stomach. 2 hours after my morning 6.2 I was down to 5.6. I have been quite thirsty the last few days in spite of drinking 96+oz water/day. Things will improve though, I have no doubts.

    The SCREAM thread

    Thankfully the damage is minimal. The problem is the required parts aren’t available in Canada and have to be shipped from the U.S not major, just a broken fitting on the transmission cooler line. The mechanic will bypass the internal cooler while leaving the external cooler functional...

    Today’s appointments

    Unfortunately weight loss for some reason has been eluding me. I’ve been on a constant 24hr fasting cycle for quite some time now but very little weight loss (less than 2lb). With the holidays now done with, I’m going to try changing my meal timing to a 24hr cycle but have my meal at lunch...
