You made me laugh, Scott. Yeah, you're right. We Canadians are a pretty hardy bunch. We'd have to be to live in all the snow we get. Thanks for the video. I'm sure it will be inspirational. My sister works in a senior's lodge in Alberta and she said some of her seniors have T1 and they are...

I am so glad to read your story, but feel bad for you because I'm going through the same thing right now. I was diagnosed T2 in March 2017. My blood sugars started to rise this March and we couldn't figure out why, as I was slowly getting weaker. Last week I didn't eat for three days and...

I just read the lists again and no wonder my PH level is way down. I need to really watch the acidic list. There are things on there that I didn't realize were acidic. Oooops.

Winnie53, thank you. We don't have much wildlife on PEI. Squirrels, chipmunks, skunks (ick), raccoons, beautiful foxes and the dreaded coyote and coywolves, which came over on the ice at one time. Wish they'd go back over the ice. We don't have deer or any large animals like that. That's a...

Sorry, I didn't notice this was addressed to mortigger1968.

Oh, very sorry. That's not good. I hope that's not what is happening with me and that I get answers soon.

Thanks. I do have magnesium spray here, and the lotion. I also soaked in a bath yesterday with Epsom Salts/baking soda.

Thank you. I believe I will give them a try and see if they help me. Smiling would be nice instead of being cranky all the time from lack of sleep.

Thanks for all the tips. I do the higher fat thing, using most of what you mentioned. And, now that the weather is improving my dog and I go for long walks. I live just outside our city and have tons of trails to walk. No earphones for me. I love to hear all the sounds of nature. I also...

I was eating a keto snack between meals, but haven't done that for a couple of weeks now. That was due to stress. I thought of too much insulin floating around, too. I know I need to eat more veggies. I thought I was getting enough salt, but will look into that. I did a 15-hr fast last week...

My bread/scones are made with almond flour, ground flax, sometimes psyllium husk powder, eggs, etc. Nothing from the 'old' way of baking bread/scones. They are very low carb and no sugar. I have to do more research. Maybe I'm one of those people who can't do some things. There is a little...

Thank you. I do NOT sleep well at all and haven't for a long time. There are so many things that can affect diabetes that it's mind-boggling. No wonder I'm confused. I was doing so well up until these past 4 months. Thanks.

Diabetes is a roller coaster ride in my opinion. I obsess, too, and that probably adds to my stress. Good luck with your appointments.

Thank you. My DN said she supports me although she does not like the "Keto" lifestyle. She immediately wants me to take meds, as does my GP. I don't feel much support there. I have told them that I do NOT want to go on meds. It's just this past 4 months, dealing with lots of stress/anxiety...

I'm suspecting it is the stress/anxiety, too. Good morning. I am in Prince Edward Island, Canada. This morning my fasting blood sugar was 17.2. It's going up more each day. I even started taking Metformin again because I had a few here at home. I don't know of any labs over here and my...

This is what I ate today: Breakfast, I ate 2 sl low carb bread (homemade), 1 egg, bulletproof coffee. Lunch low carb biscuit (homemade), peanut butter and black tea. Supper was some turkey, a few brussels sprouts and broccoli roasted in olive oil/spices. I have not eaten any grains, pastas...

Yes, many times over the past few years. Once I told him that it gets really bad and I might kill someone. He said basically, "well, that's not my fault." Then I went to see a counselor last Oct and she picked up on my anxiety immediately. She told me to go back to my doctor, so I did. He...

This thread is an offshoot of another, which got derailed by @Lynnzhealth's question. So we have moved her question, and the subsequent discussion to this new thread. Regards, Brunneria Lynnzhealth said: I was doing really well since about June 2017 when I started Keto. Everything was good...

Thank you, Shelley262. We just got back from a walk. Chilly here in PEI, Canada and it's supposed to be spring. I think it's the stress, too, because I'm following Keto and I haven't gone back to the 'other' way of eating. My reaction to stress is not good. It's instant, then it takes hours...

I was diagnosed with T2 in March 2017 and was put on Metformin, which didn't agree with me. I gave it up and researched and found the LCHF lifestyle. I went on to lose 55 lbs, my A1C went to normal levels, everything was going well. This past December 2018, my fasting and post prandial...
