Hello all, 5.3 this morning. @Estragon -- Hugs for the pain due to root work. Hope tomorrow will be a better day for you. Agree with the others that the pain is most likely the cause of the higher blood sugars.

Hello all, Fasting levels were 5.6 yesterday as well as today. Still no exericse (hey, motivation where are you?). Welcome to this thread, @Marianne67 and @sharonlmartin. Love your analogy of T1 and T2, @karen8967. @DJC3 -- Great fasting levels (without wine). It seems the new exercise regime...

Hello all, Early morning class today, so posting a bit later. A somewhat surprising 5.1 today (in spite of three days without exercise, but not sleeping in might have helped a bit). @ianpspurs -- Love your sense of humor and your comment about skipping being exercise. @buster -- Welcome to the...

Hi @LittleGreyCat, I found the same thing. Blood sugar seems to rise more significantly when exercising in the morning (especially fasted) compared to doing the same exercise later in the day. Personally, I have always put this down to insulin resistance of the liver (not turning off glucose...

I hope this might help. Here is a link to a critique of the paper by Zoe Harcombe: https://www.zoeharcombe.com/2021/08/keto-diet-under-attack/ One of the main criticisms of this paper (by Barnard et al.) seems to be that it primarily based on the "classic" ketogenic diet used for epilepsy...

Good morning all, Fasting levels were 5.6 today -- a bit higher today due to skipping the exercise for the last two days. @DJC3 -- Brilliant levels today.

Hello all, Fasting levels yesterday were 4.9. Today, I woke up to a 5.1. (Getting back to exercising does make a difference). @Pipp -- If I were to live like an polar bear, I would have no problems with blood sugars (though I agree, I am not sure how much similarity there is between humans...

Good morning, all. 5.2 for me today. Have a great day everyone.

A bit late posting today. Fasting levels were a considerably better today with 5.1, albeit after a day with relatively little food, regular exercise and less sleep. @ert -- Happy to read your Covid symptoms seems to be improving for you. Hugs for feeling exhausted though. @Estragon --...

ood morning all, Fasting levels were 6.1 today -- seems as if sleeping in seems to lead to slightly higher levels for me. Just saw a remarkable sequence about polar bears and diabetes today. The speaker said that scientists are interested in studying polar bears to find ways of dealing with...

@Ryhia -- Hugs for the general feeling of "yuck." Hope today will be a better day for you. Keeping my fingers crossed for your friend. @PenguinMum -- Wonderful to see you back in the zone. @DEBBIESCOTT -- Welcome to the thread and great fasting levels today. @BrianDoc -- Enjoy your vacation...

Fasting levels were 5.0 for me today. Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone.

Thanks, @DJC3. It seems the wine that has done this. Unfortunately this may not be a long-term solution, I'm afraid. Btw, good numbers after the meat-heavy dinner.

Hello all, Fbg 6.3 the day before yesterday, and then 4.9 yesterday and 5.2 today (albeit the lower numbers were very probably due to some wine the night before). Seems as if there might be some liver insulin resistance going on. Take care everyone and enjoy your Sunday. Edited for readability.

Sorry to read about the positive PCR, @ert. Keeping my fingers crossed that you'll have the lightest possible form of COVID. Will be thinking of you.

Hello all, Blood sugars still a bit too high for my liking. Fbg 6.3 yesterday and 6.1 today. Haven't gotten down to the fives at all during the last two days. Hope exercising and moving more in general will pay off soon. @chani111 -- Welcome to the thread. Looking forward to your posts on...

Hello all, Befind again, so posting fbg for the last four days: 5.7, 5.9, 5.6, 5.9 (a bit higher than I would ideally like, so definitely have to get back to exercising). @PenguinMum -- Hugs for the eye treatment. Hope you are feeling better. @DJC3 -- Congrats on your daughter's graduation...

ood morning all. Fbg was 5.3 yesterday and 5.9 today. Creeping up a bit compared to last year (and before), but I realize this is due to being a bit lazy on the exercise front. @Estragon -- Fabulous result on your HbA1c. Really well done and well deserved. @JohnEGreen -- Hugs for the foot...

Hello all, Thanks so much for your kind words, @maglil55. Have missed you. How are you doing? @Rachox -- keeping my fingers crossed and will be thinking of you tomorrow. Hope you'll feel much better soon. @Annb -- glad to read that your brother is feeling better. Hugs to you and your aunt.

Hello all, Fbg was 5.5 this morning. Today, I had two slices of low carb bread, a whole pack of macadamias late at night, and no exercise, so will probably see higher levels tomorrow. Sometimes wished I had more self-control. @coby and @DJC3 -- Thanks for your encouragement. @DJC3 -- excellent...
