6.2 on this freezing morning. Minus27….and windy, minus 40 wind chill. one more cold day after today before the warm up

Guess what….shovelling in -22 causes a blood sugar rise. 5.9 before lunch, 7.4 2 hours later (after shovelling)…blah. My dogs paws got very cold…she just sits and holds her paws up…so sad.

6.2 this winter morning. Minus 18 with windchill at minus 34. Lovely….well, at least the sky is blue. not going out to the gym, I’m using the home gym instead.

6.3 this morning…yipee. 6.1 two hours after eating (ground beef and butter, coffee with heavy cream) winter is coming….10 cm snow yesterday (great shovelling exercise) and now the temperature is going to plummet…minus 20 in a few days. Sure is pretty outside but the roads are icy ….I’m staying...

7.2 this morning, my bad…I had two sugar free chocolates last night….a meltdown. meltdowns are good for me ….they make me fight. So….its now zero carb until we leave for Sri Lanka in February. Five weeks. It’s worth a try. breakfast was ground beef and butter, lunch was scrambled eggs and...

Thes ow is falling it’s so beautiful (except when you have to drive). This morning was 6.5. Right now I’m watching a you tube with Ken Berry and Gary Taubes (author rethinking diabetes), very interesting.

I love nuts (not peanuts, allergic) and eat them in moderation. Pecans are fairly low carb as are almonds. Macadamia nuts are a great source of fat too. Careful with the higher carb nuts….but as others have mentioned you must check your own reactions.

Totally agree, I love finding the old varieties! The new ones are way too sweet.

Looks like my new normal…6.8 again today.

Half apple experiment….5.9 before lunch, 6.4 two hours later. Pretty good and I’m happy. full lunch was three strips of bacon, almond flour biscuit with aged cheddar, half an apple with almond butter, 9 cashews. Maybe the body needs some of those carbs?

I think I was 6.7 this morning…. I’m adding a wee bit of carbs to my diet as a test. So today it was half an apple with almond butter. I’ll post after meal results later. It was ok…but honestly the apple had no flavour….how disappointing. Upper body workout the morning and some walking...

When i asked my doctor about insulin she was shocked…no insulin for me. Instead she said I’d get a glucose lowering pill (forget the name). My pancreas is severely damaged. The tail is completely atrophied and the pancreatic duct is tortuous (that word might be wrong…it’s twisted all to...

Ahhh… 7.0 again. ZERO carbs yesterday. so I got mad and had a few carbs for lunch…some full fat yogurt and a bit of keto granola. Weird that it feels like a cheat. Also had a homemade almond flour biscuit with some yummy cheddar cheese. was 6.8 before lunch, 7.2 two hours later….carbs were...

My health is great. I have zero issues. My A1C has only ever been 48….that was my diagnosis number, it went a wee bit lower over the last year and now back at the start line. Low carb is certainly not the “cure” for me but it does keep me kind of normal. Something i will discuss with my...

Well, results are in…a disappointing 48 (6.5). It’s super hard to deal,with the fact that I’m ultra low carb, don’t cheat and exercise daily. I’m normal weight, if not underweight, drink tons of water…..this sad pancreas just cannot handle this…. oh well..carry on 6.8 this morning, 5.5 before...

Well, my first blood test showed 3.8…. I laughed and did another, no way 3.8 is accurate. Second test was 7.0, yesterday was 7.0 i don’t get it…very, very, very low carb…I throw my hands up in despair… did go for bloodwork this morning so we’ll see what the new and shiny A1C will be...

6.1 this morning, I’m happy. A1C test this coming week. Hopefully the holiday didn’t cause too much of an increase.

Home from Mexico! Blood sugars not happy right now, not terrible but not great. this morning was a very normal 6.3, but throughout the day it’s just gotten higher. I am exhausted and the stress of shopping two days before New Year’s Eve…it was crazy out there. I think a need a rest day or...

6.5 for the last two days. heading home tomorrow. Missing my puppy big time! Also missing my bowl of ground beef in the morning…yup, it’s a thing. My last breakfast here will be eggs with chorizo….dang it’s good, and good for me. really proud that I kept my blood in control for this one month...

Why not just give it a Go? Everyone reacts differently and the only way to know if it’ll work for you is to be the subject. report back, I’m super curious. wouldnt work for me as fibre is absolutely not my freind!
