After waking abruptly at 2 a.m., thinking I'd overslept (first day of school for us teachers - yay....) and not falling back asleep again, I was afraid to test, but it ended up at 5.4. Whew! Happy Monday everyone, and especially to any teachers out there!

Ask and ye shall receive, apparently. 4.9 this morning. Woohoo! (I followed that up with a shiny Kecleon during todays Pokemon Go community day, so obviously a very lucky day for me today...perhaps I should buy a lottery ticket?)

5.1 today. 5.2 yesterday. Couldn't be bothered to make dinner yesterday, so I do need to eat properly today. Today's exercise will be a thorough house-cleaning so that everything is in order before work starts on Monday.

I am very fortunate in having a prescription for four strips a day that I weedled out of my previous GP when he was impressed by how I had taken control over my diabetes back in 2017. Family tragedies and the pandemic pushed me off the wagon, but in May I had a huge wake-up-call, and started...

5.4 for me today (5.8 yesterday.) I’m getting greedy - after two weeks in the fives for fbgl, I am now contemplating how to chase the fours…Much wants more, as they say in my language, or in this case, lows want less!

5.4 for me today. Had a very lazy day yesterday, binging a netflix c-drama, so must try to be more active today.

@Antje77 Thank you for your suggestion. I don't eat seafood due to shellfish intolerance (once you've been sick enough times because someone swore your fish was shellfish free, but forgot to mention they poached the fish in shellfish broth, or had shellfish broth in the sauce, it tends to...

5.0!!!! Walked around a lot yesterday, as I was Pokemon go-ing with a friend, with whom I ate a late lunch/early dinner. I am so glad I broke the barrier on walking long distances while in Paris last week. Now I only have to break the 'work out' barrier and start weight training again.

I have a potluck event coming up, and I’ve got to admit I’m very blank on what I could bring as my contribution. Do you guys have any suggestions? I used to make a quiche or even mini quiches, but pastry is out (I would rather avoid trying to make low carb pastry for the first time for a dish to...

5.6 for me, even though I ate an ice cream on my way home from work yesterday. The label said it had 20gr of carbs and since I'm doing low carb, not keto, I figured I might try it.

@WaveyDavey123 I hope you feel better soon.

5.9 this morning, hoping the low numbers are here to stay. It's back to work for me today, but I did have to dig out trousers one size smaller this morning - got sick of having to tug my pants up while travelling yesterday! Walking all over Paris is apparently good for you.

6.0 today. Back to proper low-carb this evening, thank goodness.

Not Friday, but the first of the month, and I’ve decided to only weigh myself once a month. 75kg, which is down three kgs since May and 9kg over the last year. Goal is getting back down to 70kg over the next year.

5.6 (!) After 6 days in Paris with family, and then a missed connection flight Sunday evening that sent us on a merry trip of 4 airports in 12 hours yesterday, I was unsure of how the stress would affect my bgl. Didn’t test at all on holiday, but tried to be as low carb as I could while eating...

Yesterday 6.8, today 7.6 (!). The next week and a half will be rough food-wise, as I’m at my parents, and while they try to accomodate me, I can’t truly eat the way I need to eat. And the coming week we’ll do a long weekend in Paris, with my teenaged niblings. That will be very carb- heavy, if...

From what I’ve read, a common cause of gallstones is when the gallbladder doesn’t contract regularly enough to shift the bile kept there. The gallbladder releases bile when you eat something fatty. A low-fat diet may then in fact be a cause of gallstones, which does make me consider the «fat...

6.7 today. Yay!

6.9 for me. Slowly going down to all 6.something this week, I hope. Have a good Monday!

7.3 fbg today. Not surprising after yesterday, and on a downward trend. Got to train myself to check bgl when I wake up - I like to lay in bed an hour after waking.
