Thanks Geordie, fingers crossed it’s just plain ole adrenaline!

Thank you, it’s reassuring to have someone else tell me actually that’s not right, it’s ok to go and ask about it. I’ve got an appointment today for bloods today as luck would have it so will mention it then.

Yes you’re probably right thank you. The slurred speech but has me a bit nervous but I suppose I’ll just keep an eye on it and make sure there’s another driver in future!

Not on any meds. I was really nervous doing the 2 hour drive back for sure! We would have had no way to get back and I was the only other driver so just took it slow and will NEVER repeat that experience! I don’t think it helped on the way there I had to do an emergency stop when a sheep ran out...

I love your graph and it is very motivating! I’m not intending in anyway to go back to a high carb diet but knowing that a reasonable intake every now and again could eventually be possible is inspiring.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has tested their blood glucose after being on a rollercoaster?! The reason I’m asking is my trip to a theme park with my niece and nephew. I suspected that I was going to get a spike from the adrenaline of a rollercoaster and knew I shouldn’t have gone on the...

Gah sorry I’ve just read the start of your post again and have seen your plan! I’d be really interested to see what happens with your surgery - I think we’ve chatted before about being in a similar boat...

Well don’t leave us hanging like that’s mrsa2! What’s your plan for the data? A baseline to compare later tests with the same meal? A general test for insulin resistance? I’m intrigued! ps worst bg meal I had before low carbs and ditched eat well was a risotto...

I aspire to your very skinny chrisjohn! Thank goodness indeed... ❤️

I’m definitely not an expert and appreciate the call for expert scientifically solid clarification! The trouble seems to be there are so many conflicting opinions, even among scientists. Based on the reading I’ve done (I’m happy to be convinced or educated otherwise though), the two camps are...

I agree, it’s not trivial. I’m fairly new so no idea what’s usual or very high. I know I definitely get a spike into the teens with fasting (when am 5/6s the rest), and I also get the tiredness, fatigue and headache that comes with it. If I keep to 5/6s I feel ok and am blessed that I’ve been...

Hi Lucy, yes I’m the same too, and can feel when I’m going to get a liver dump. I faffed around with fasting paying attention to how my body was feeling at the start to see if I could tell when highs or lows were happening. I had the exact same thing - a rise if I get below 4 and a feeling of...

Huh?! That makes no sense? Maybe she meant if you come off metformin it could increase to 40s which might be ok then could work on getting it down without medication? Otherwise I’m stumped at that advice???

Thank you for the encouragement! Long term I’d like to get out of the overweight bmi category which would be 11st 12, so 2 stone to go. I started 14st 7 at a bmi of 30, 8 weeks ago. I’m so impressed with all you lovely people dropping more quickly! But like you say, the direction is most...

Morning all, 13st 11lbs today. One more pound off. God it’s slow going! But at least it’s going...

Sainsbury’s do hovis nimble which is 8g a slice I think

I’m the same - if I skip a meal I get rise without eating anything, a liver dump I think?

Fantastic result well done!

It sounds as though you’re doing great! The human body is a strange and wonderful thing...

My two hours down the a1 the other day would agree with you!
