    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    I think I was 7 this morning, still very high for me….this virus and much life stress is taking its toll on me. My food remains ultra low carb. levels have been high at all times of day so I decided to put on the last Dexcom, which is now giving me silly readings…the warm up is so unreliable...

    Still sick..oh my! 7.5 this morning. I’m exhausted….but I must say that I feel better this morning, just very tired. Lots of coughing last night but that has stopped. It’s another nap day…..and I’m convincing myself that I’ll be better tomorrow! We’re heading to the Dominican Republic in...

    Guess who’s still sick…a nasty 7.8 this morning…uggg my only food yesterday was a cup of homemade chicken bone broth, six chicken wing halves. That’s it… Happily the Tylenol cold medication seemed to work last night and I was able to get some relief. Really am feeling a touch better this...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    6.0 this lovely morning. i received some of my blood numbers back. My fasting insulin is now 41 pmol/L (was 28 two years ago), which translates to 5.9 mU/L, on the low end of normal. Fasting glucose was 6.4. This gives me a HOM–IR of 1.7. HOMA-IR stands for Homeostatic Model Assessment of...

    The Carnivore diet.

    You need to give this more time! Add some electrolytes and stay consistent. Eating a mass of **** carbs will only hurt your health!

    Doing some bloodwork this morning, I did check my blood sugar but it was a few hours after waking….i was fasting for the tests. It came in at a whopping 6.8. I just don’t understand…..no food since 5 pm last night, and it was carb free. i got my cpeptide, fasting insulin and fasting sugars...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    I didn’t test today, it rarely changes and I usually forget. So, let’s guess at 5.9…. I saw my doctor yesterday, she’s simply the best and has been my greatest supporter for 15 years. She’s ok with me refusing statins, just wrote on my chart that I don’t tolerate them (I’ve never taken them)...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Not checking often these days, my numbers just don’t change….and that’s ok. I know my doctor will be very happy with my latest A1C even though I don’t think it’s good enough. 5.8 this morning. I usually run from 5.6 to6.5 were having some lovely fall weather with warm days, lots of sun(except...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    This morning was 6.9. No reason…still eating few carbs, if any, and exercising lots. A1C hasn’t changed since last time, 44 (6.2). It’s been two years since diagnosis and at that time it was 6.5. I’ve never been higher than 6.5 so in reality I should be happy. I found the results...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    A very good day to all forgot to test first thing, but I was fasting, just water (blood test later this morning) so I tested around 8:30. It was 5.9, a nice surprise for me as my numbers have been edging up recently (zero cause….). Waited in a long line for bloodwork, whipped through Costco...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    They were, the recipe is fantastic…but, they didn’t seem to agree with me. I forgot to check my blood two hours after eating, but before bed it was 6.8….very high for me considering I ate only steak for dinner and we walked about three km after….(exercise never affects my glucose levels). i...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    5.9 this morning. Was feeling off yesterday, not sure whether it was allergies or a cold. Felt ok this morning but I was certainly lethargic at the gym and could have fallen asleep in yoga. Came home, ate and went to bed…slept for 2.5 hours! Feeling better now, maybe it’s time to take a day...
