6.5 ;) nearly there ....

The full nutritional info is on the reverse of the box - it’s only around a gram of carbs per day, I think I can cope with that - this includes the ones flavoured. It’s one scratching a day I think :rolleyes:

Hoping to be back in the 5’s by the end of this week ...... Antibiotics have finally kicked in and are bringing the reaction to the pneumonia jab under control - swelling going down and my arm isn’t red hot! Still apparently this vaccine is a one off. So back into the pool tomorrow morning -...

Spotted this in John Lewis today - perfect for those of you who love an Advent calendar (ok I’m a big kid!) but follow the low carb diet - happy Christmas ;)

Maybe my GP thought I am 84 not 48 :) I was told if you are diabetic you can have the pneumonia jab. 5 days later though I am still suffering .... A FBG of 6.5 today :)

Interesting @debrasue I had flu and pneumonia jab (bad reaction to pneumonia) and up at 7.0 :arghh:

High 7.0 :arghh: still on antibiotics due to infection from pneumonia jab so hoping that is why? Been a good boy, no more cake!

Agree with advice from @Guzzler - I’ve seen many people say they have an easier time on SR Metformin

7.5 today :angelic: Ate cake yesterday. Reaction to pneumonia jab making me feel really unwell, on antibiotics now. Sure my FBG will calm down when my body is back to normal and not fighting this infection.

You are very kind, thank you :):)

Oh for sure! Interestingly flu shot in one arm was fine - the other arm with the pneumonia shot has had a dull ache constantly. Will take anti histamine and pain killers and hopefully it will passs ......

Rubbish 7.8 :arghh: Low carb’ed for last few days -but seem to be having bad reaction to pneumonia jab (never had one before). Arm very sore and feeling generally rubbish, been back to Doc’s once and might have to go again today :(

Sadly I’ve been and gone .... now back home in North London. Enjoy Spain - very jealous!

You are recently diagnosed I see. Takes time to adjust and for low carb to make difference, but I came off Metformin after around 4 months. Snack packs of cheese are my savior - often mature cheddar when I get bored off Babybel. Will be interesting in Singapore, maybe they have low carb snacks...

Travelling is the tough one, you just have to be more organised - and enjoy Babybel :):)

Agree - and it drives me mad that they say type II's should test. It's helped me so much. On low carb days I know I can enjoy that dark chocolate .... if I've eaten pre prepared food with a little more carbs then I don't!

@AtkinsMo sincere apologies - my reply was a bit harsh, sorry. Tired and emotional LOL after struggling with a stinking cold for nearly 2 weeks! I agree about not feeling deprived - that is part of the reason I haven't really gone down the substitute route - ie low carb cake. I've just...

Not sure about that but I’m trying. I have realised I can be a little relaxed if my core diet is low carb and I exercise (30minutes in the pool) nearly every day. Thanks for your comment @Lally123

Don’t give up @ally1 - I know you have many health concerns but I’ve always admired your determination on reducing your FBG over the short time I’ve been on this forum. Just keep going, and know you have the support of us all when you need to scream, shout or moan. Thinking of you :)

Morning - so FBG still up at 7.0, it must be that bread in France. The good news is my HBA1c was 5.3 (34) when tasted 2 weeks ago, got the results yesterday - so pleased!
