    Hunger & Blood Glucose Reading

    Not the only one. My insulin response is very predictable- I know how long it’ll take to come down based on what I’ve eaten and even how much or little it will rise. My liver however... dawn phenomenon, rise with more than gentle stroll, stress, rollercoasters, if I skip both breakfast and...

    Covid Prevention Measures for diabetics

    Covid Prevention Measures for diabetics

So it doesn’t make sense for me to be cautious when not at work, all I can do is: 1. lateral flow test regularly to make...

    Well for the first time I’m the same weight 13st 9lbs but I was on holiday last week. Still low carb but my times of day eating were mucked up (6 hours in bank holiday traffic with a small packet of nuts )and I had lots of liver dumps which I dont normally have. Plus less steps. Plus a couple of...

    Have I messed up here? (Going too fast?)

    I don’t know anything about worrying levels of weight loss, and odd changes other than yea please do get it checked. However, those numbers were nearly exactly mine, 7/8 before food and 10-15 after with similar carbs. I cut all carbs down to just whatever is in the green veg I was eating and...

    Morning all, another 1lb drop down to 13st 9lbs. Can’t quite believe how regular the drop is now - I think 7 weeks of a pound a week! As an aside since I’ve changed my diet I’m having hardly any in week fluctuations which I used to have allll the time (regardless of time of the month, anywhere...

    Rollercoasters

    Gosh Coby that must be awful! I hope you’ve managed to work around it. I’m dreadful at working out how I feel, it may well be anxiety I suppose!
