    5.7 blood test, 5.8 dexcom….maybe it’s finally warmed up! Pineapple Express is coming (warm weather from the South Pacific) and we‘ll be at plus ten degrees this weekend! Unheard of. It’s really not a good thing we need our snow pack for summer water and to keep the forest fires at bay. off to...

    A wonderful 5.4 this morning, blood prick, 6.7 dexcom….i recalibrated again…last night was a nightmare, the darn phone sending critical low warnings all night (despite me muting the phone, it overrides that)…then if you don’t pay attention the flashlight come on. The phone went to the kitchen...

    Went and got three dexcom 7 Cgms today….just put one on…hoping it’ll do better than the libre. That was an expensive trip to Costco.

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

    Interesting, my last meal is always at 5….only water after. My body is not responding to low carb, carnivore actually. It does keep me from rising though so I’ll, of course, continue. this morning 6.4 super foggy here. We’re sitting at plus 3 degrees but the ground is still very cold….hence...

    Bitter melon

    Last time I saw my doctor she mentioned that many of her patients have taken it and get great results with bitter melon. I had never heard of it. She certainly wasn’t telling them not to take it.

    6.2 this morning…a foggy day but no new snow. Minus 3 right now (9:30 am) maybe we’ll see positive temps in the coming week. still going out to shovel the trail, just did some abs and yoga …..now it’s weight lifting

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

    6.5 this morning i don't know what part of zero carbs my body is not understanding… more snow overnight, about 8 cm. Did more shovelling, finding it hard to find places to put it all. Heading out angain after my tea. I still haven’t finished my path around the pond and likely won’t finish...

    6.4 off to shovel. It’s therapy for me….the deck, patio and driveway are done so I’m heading outside the gate to shovel the trail. We got around 20 cm so it’s a workout. Minus 10 right now, no wind.

    Just finished a whack of shovelling. We only got about 8cm but it’s still snowing lightly. It’s minus 8 but actually I felt warm while working, it’s was very nice. Will continue after lunch. reading this morning was 6.7. Totally baffled. Zero carbs.

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

    Honestly, when it’s incredibly cold I don’t go out. Once it snows (tends to be warmer) I do go out a lot, but I work…I shovel our house and then the walking trail out back….so generally my blood sugar elevates. I find heat really affects me with big rises.

    I self fund all my strips and Cgm (if I want one). I just sigh… this morning I was 6.3. Still zero carb. warming a bit but we’re in for a big snowfall….20 cm to start tonight. went to the gym this morning for leg day then hit Costco to see if I could get the Dexcom 7 ….and I can! Pricey...

    6.5…..no carbs for six days…bad pancreas. its a toasty minus 17 right now. I did some shopping this morning as the big snowfall is coming. Seriously, it’s not too terrible out there, certainly fresh going to see if I can get a dexcom 7. The libre just was way too off with its readings, not a...

    6.4 today…zero carbs for five days now….oh, this body! Party time this morning, it’s “warmed up” to minus 18! Woohoo. The polar vortex is receding but, the snow is coming, and lots of it. Time to stock up again before Tuesday.

    5.8 this morning…sweet! Minus 30 C upon waking, dang that’s cold. The dog just doesn’t understand why we don’t take her out as much as we used to. Hubby is a sport and walks her in this nastiness. Good thing is that it looks like just one more day in the extreme cold and then we’ll warm up...
