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

    5.0 on Dexcom, 5.6 finger prick….the Dexcom was so close to being expired. It’s off my arm now. I had two good days of low sugars and, as usual, my body is adjusting itself and the numbers are going back to my normal….frustrating but not unexpected. The sun is,out, the heat is ON and we’re in...

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

    Oh wow…. 5.0 on Dexcom, that can’t be right…..5.1 finger prick! I’m one happy camper! I forget what day I’m on of zero carb but maybe my liver has finally dumped it’s excess sugar…who knows, I’m just calling it a win for today because tomorrow could be, and likely will be, back to normal. The...

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

    I’ve been rejected…..went to give blood today and they sent me packing. Didn't think that getting my ears repierced would affect anything….but it’s a big old no no for donating. Bummer…must wait three months. Forgot to look at my glucose this morning but I don’t think it’s any different than...

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

    Same as yesterday..5.2 on Dexcom, 5.4 blood prick. They keep saying it’ll get smokey here but nothing yet, fingers crossed. Had my first real yoga class in over a month (I have just been doing my own) and it was nice. Did abs also. Just back from a nice walk with the dog and husband. It’s a...

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

    5.2 on Dexcom, 5.4 on metre. Daytime numbers were pretty good yesterday, my pancreas was doing a great job. Today I seem to be back to my normal high five’s and low 6…that’s ok, no spikes at all. Sun is shining. They keep saying we’re getting Smokey skies but it has yet to happen. I’m happy...

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

    5.8 today. The sun is shining but I think we are still under a thunderstorm watch. Had hours of rolling thunder yesterday but no local lightning, thank goodness. Some small fires started in towns near us, but nothing here. Yoga and abs today. Day six of no carbs…looks like I’ll need to wait...

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

    5.8 this morning. A lovely rain last night, much needed for the fires. Good workout today and good sugar control ….did not rise too much. Day five full carnivore. Feeling great. I let my pierced ears heal over a while back and today I decided to have my ears repierced. Haircut yesterday...

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

    5.5 today. I don’t like it when it doesn’t cool down overnight…it was a warm one yesterday. We’re lucky to still have clear skies…meaning no smoke. There’s a few fires around here so I’m expecting some bad air soon.. Good workout and then a haircut this morning. Day four of full carnivore...

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

    5.5 upon waking, 5.0 and dropping five minutes later. Getting rid off all carbs has really benefitted me. Lower numbers at the gym, abs and yoga, but when I walked on the treadmill (a must do due to heat warning here) my numbers rose and rose….up to 6.8. Why oh why… Day three of zero carbs...

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

    6.3 immediately after waking, 5.6 and dropping moments later. On to day two of zero carbs, I am committed. After some reevaluation I was indeed eating far too many, for me, carbs. The “carb creep” was indeed a thing. I gave myself a good talking to….and I listened. Coffee with butter and...

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

    What the heck is going on….this morning was 6.8….and honestly I didn’t have that many cherries! Went to the gym and saw that my glucose went way up when I was lifting…to 7.5. I was concerned but put it down to a new sensor. Got home and scoffed at the 7.7 reading…then I tested my blood…7.7 I...

    Back up to 6.3 Bummer Today I had a lovely ground beef lunch, but did follow it with many fresh local cherries. Was that smart, likely no….was it really, really good…heck yes.

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

    6.3 today…no idea why. I was 5.9 before lunch so that’s a good thing. Today was just yoga and abs at the gym, no treadmill. The suns out and the week will be hot…too hot for me.

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

    6.0 today. There’s a wee bit of sun out there but otherwise a cooler than normal summer day. I will take full advantage and get some gardening done. There’s a heat wave coming and I’m not looking forward to that!

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

    5.9 today. It’s a rainy and cool day today, rather nice after the hot and dry last few days. Blood sugar still higher than I’d like after the gym. I did some treadmill, stairclimber and upper body weights today. Then I walked through Costco before lunch. Measured glucose at 6.6 before I ate...

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

    6.1…..sure am missing the 5’s So, this morning I had ground beef and butter for breakfast with butter coffee. I then drank a pile of water, went to the gym for abs, yoga and a 30 min fast incline walk before coming home and testing my blood. 6.7 I am annoyed

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

    6.2 today….oh this crazy body. Really watching the diet and I’m usually very good so the constant 6 plus numbers are frustrating. I made some fathead dough bagels and they are my treat, and at 3.5 carbs they are a fine dessert…with butter and cheese. My husband is doing a great job eating up...

    I have had to ask hubby to eat my crackers….i cannot be trusted with them. 6.7 this morning….unbelievable! Met the little one last night, she’s adorable. They have left for home now, so my afternoon will be spent restoring the basement suite to our gym.

    Strength Training - making it interesting

    I love going to the gym but you said you don’t have one nearby. During Covid my gym was in the basement, I worked out every day. Good music or a good movie, you tube video…anything to keep me interested. I love seeing the positive change in my body, weights are extremely important to me as I...
