Well fingers crossed for the ongoing testing

I’d be quite happy with 4s! My body however does a weird agitated, let’s eat, mild nausea thing though, and then I check and am near the 4s - if I ignore it I get a liver dump. I’ve come to think of it as my feed me liver dump warning bell. Then if I eat I can stop the liver dump. It means I...

Hope he was ok Lucy?

Well done again Coby great results! Maybe a small possibility but being dehydrated can give falsely high bp readings...

Yep that sounds like me. Thank you - I’m going to have to get some sweets in as they’re banned from the house and work out what 15g is in case it happens again!

I don’t think I’m dieting hard but obviously my body disagrees?! But I did have more weight loss this week than usual so at least that’s something!

Thanks John, you’re right, it’s easy to forget all the progress when you’re focused on improving.

Yes please @EllieM! And thank you, yes my liver did make sure it was alright in the end (a bit too well mind!), so between you/ this forum, a lovely 5.5 this morning, and my liver it’s set my mind at ease that the unpleasantness will pass!

Congratulations Coby! Great news

Doh! I didn’t retest, will do from now on - I felt really ****** like. And cheers bulkbiker (there is a laughing emoji I don’t know how to get on here!) You can have the weird 8s and 10s over the last couple of days from liver dumps making up for it if you like! ;)

Some viral infections attack the pancreas I believe leading to type 1? It has me side eyeing reported onset after COVID but I’m not sure if would be a direct attack or trigger of an autoimmune response?

It’s all about mindset and willingness to learn isn’t it? I’m sorry to hear about your Mam and sister Su but it sounds like your proactiveness is working and you’re making great progress in your other posts.

That’s awesome well done you! I’m fascinated by the science behind it all and will look up some of the things you’ve mentioned I haven’t heard of. Anyone have links? Also I’d be really interested in the steps you took in your journey and the effect it had - have you already wrote them in a blog?

Fantastic result! Well done

Thank you so much for the reassurance, it’s much appreciated. Fingers crossed!

Yeah very early, 8 weeks in. I knew my few weeks of 5s with the odd 6 was too good to be true! It’s nice to hear from someone successfully managing. Hopefully it’ll settle and I’ll get there too.

Thank you John. I think I’m fixated on the why because I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing. Am I aiming for Ketosis through low carb to reduce body fat to lose weight and improve insulin resistance and ignore liver dumps? Or controlling the liver dumps with snacks when it gets near the...

Thanks Lucy, I suppose it must have come from one skipped breakfast from the day before followed stupid yoyo effect?! Won’t be doing that again...

Thank you - yeah I think you might be right, my body is just changing and doesn’t know what to do? Maybe? Ah well, will keep an eye out!

Hi, I’ve just had a random reading of 3.3 when I woke up. I’m type 2 unmedicated. Is this low enough to be a hypo or a random low reading? I thought type 2 didn’t get them without medication? I just had something to eat and I’m fine now back to my usual 5s. Just really curious as to causes...
