thanks for all the responses to my question! Ok, I tested upon waking…7.2. Blah. My pancreas is broken. winter wonderland this morning after a few flurries yesterday dusted all the trees. It’s really beautiful. mexico is two weeks away, the colder it gets here the more excited I am

Some great numbers out there! Great work everyone. I have a question. When do you measure your morning glucose? I generally get up, get dressed, make the bed, prepare my food before testing….maybe 15 minutes after crawling out of bed. I do this as hubby is walking out dog and I like to sit...

6.5 this morning. Less than ten carbs yesterday. Grrr our Egypt and Jordan tour is officially cancelled (thank goodness). Need to find somewhere to go in February to get away from the cold winters here….December is Mexico. It’s getting harder and harder to find safe vacation spots that are...

6.4 this morning, belly feeling better. gym this morning and a fruitless search for a glowing and whistling dog ball.

7.2 this morning….I just don’t get it. The only carbs I ate yesterday was a tiny bowl of high fat yogurt (less than half a cup) with a serving of keto granola. Less than ten carbs…. c peptide came back totally normal…mid range. got to the gym this morning, it’s my happy place

I’m home finally. It was a long day yesterday…a nine hour trip home, two of those hours on the ferry. At least the weather was spectacular and there was no snow or ice. having a few intestinal pains so I’m fasting today just in case the diverticulitis is back…grrr. Travel is always ani...

6.4 halfway through our mini holiday to the east coast of Vancouver island….so nice. Saw old friends and our son and daughter in law. walked 25,000 steps yesterday through the rain forest and Oceanside. Ate good food. weather has cooperated with record warm temperatures and minor rain. off...

I was a bit high this morning and it’s totally my fault. I had a Halloween size bag of chips(crisps) after all the trick or treating was done. Honestly, no worth it. Morning reading was 7.1 still waiting on my peptide but my latest A1C was 6.2 (44), less than it was three weeks ago. I’m...

6.5 this morning, 6.9 yesterday…sigh went for more bloodwork this morning…it involved waiting in a line outside in minus 7 degrees and then inside for another 40 min…but it’s done. Looking forward to the c peptide result to see if it’s changed from a year ago. Doc also ordered another A1C (no...

6.4 this morning gorgeous sunny day here, but cold. Minus 5 this morning…plus 1 now. Just had a great walk with hubby and puppy. Paid the final instalment for our condo in Mexico…just a month and a bit away! Heading to the island (Vancouver island) next week to see friends, our son, and...

6.1 this morning, happy with that. Almond cracker withdrawl is a real thing….

6.4 this morning. I’ve been adding some extra carbs and not noticing much difference in numbers. Sadly I’m super addicted to the almond crackers so they must go… saw doctor a few days ago and chatted about my diabetes. I’ve not changed my A1C much (after a full year) even when I was...

6.4…. I did indulge in a few (or so) almond flour crackers (simple mills brand…so addictive) and was surprised that it didn’t cause too much of a bump. Sometimes a treat is s good for the soul…

Well, after one week on a 1500 mg dose per day (500 before each meal) I had to stop once again. The intestinal discomfort was no fun! After one week my fasting glucose was 6.4….no change. All the studies I’ve researched have results showing after four weeks…I just can’t handle the pain. I may...

6.4….darn it. I’m not reacting well to my Berberine experiment, my intestines are in knots. Had to stop for a bit today (may try a lower dose once I feel better) as the discomfort kept me awake all night.

I’ve been wheat free since I developed an allergy 15 years ago. I LOVED bread and anything wheat based, I was devestated. I tried a zillion recipes and never really found anything I liked. The gluten free breads in the store are pretty carb heavy and often the low carb ones contain gluten. I...

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a number in the 5’s….but a happy 5.9 this morning.

6.4…..still, again…. but I found out today that I’m having an MRI of my pancreas next month as they spotted something off when they scanned my belly for the diverticulitis. I’m not surprised, it was forever damaged 16 years ago when I had severe acute pancreatitis. Maybe they can change my...

I decided to stop taking the Berberine while I recovered from the diverticulitis so I won’t have any updates. I have restarted and am on day three…..so on November 10 I’ll pop in with any results….

Results are in, A1C is 6.4 (46), a bit of a rise since last test (6.3….or 45)I’m truly a bit surprised as I was quite ill for over a month and thought it would have been higher. Even with my extremely low carb diet I struggle to budge these results….the battle continues.
