Ordered - cheers for the headsup; having a quick preview of the Thai Green Curry recipe... it's exactly what I would expect the recipe to look like, so highly confidence inspiring.

3.2 this morning - admittedly I did have a few low carb beers and a large whisky last night :D

3.9 this morning

3.8 at 1000

3.3 at 0800. Double tested to check, and 3.3 again.

This is really interesting, thank you for posting. Considering self funded libre myself in order to get a full view, over and above 10+ finger pricks a day. With regard to beer... I appreciate this is not in the same league taste wise, but Michelob Ultra works really well as a cold one for me...

Returning to your post, I’m sure that I read somewhere that over 7.8 (can’t recall exact 7. Something number) BG and beta cells are negatively affected. This is the crux of my previous post I guess. Personally, I don’t want to hit that at any point. I’m currently searching the forum on and...

Edit to add... TL;DR - a spike in BG will impact your hba1c. How many and how high is entirely up to you, your BGM may help That’s a very interesting response. Please take the time to link the studies or accompanying data so that we may review? From my own data of BG testing I can...

Congratulations - well done, I bet that feels great :D

2 lbs lost this week: total lost is now 47 lbs.

As @DCUKMod has mentioned - I'm pretty much the same: lab sheet printed by GP/DN, then a trip to the main hospital near by and to their phlebotomy department. So once I've got the sheet and as they have no expiry date, when I go for the test is entirely up to me. :) When I was being treated by...

Thank you. I think I'll stick it out to the full 12 weeks (:watching:). I believe that the direction that I'm heading is good - and it's not a one off to hit a particular score; I feel quite happy that this lifestyle change is sustainable. I don't have cravings, I have alternatives and I can...

Cheers - another viewpoint is always good. I think the spike from 5 to 10.4 (or 10 something, I've not got it to hand) after an hour on a wholemeal bread sandwich after an hour, and back to a high 6 after 2 hours shocked me... but not as much as the DN dismissing it. All indication are that...

Thank you - I appreciate your thoughts :)

Thank you - makes perfect sense. I understand that the finger prick meter can't really predict HBA1C due to effectively only covering a 14-16 hour period, and then that only reflects what happened at the individual points of taking. What I can take away is that it is improving, just a question...

Pondering when to go for my next HBA1C? A week on friday I go on holiday for 14 days, and while I'll be doing my absolute best to follow LCHF and keep the BG low and level, there are invariably going to be slip ups as I experiment. Do I go for the test before holiday, or after? Before...
