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

    5.9 today and yesterday I’ve been eating more carbs recently and although my blood is ok I feel like ****. Need to control myself…today has been perfectly carnivore except for some pickles….and I’m ok with a bit of fermented vegetables. What’s with the blue comments? Besides the whole website...

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

    5.8 today. Back from the island, a long drive but it was spectacular. When the sun shines on the west coast it’s breathtaking. Not so much when it rains. Getting hot here, heat warning coming into effect. 35 all week…yuk. Thank goodness for air conditioning.

    Forgot to test this morning, but later numbers were good. I must say that the Comox Valley on Vancouver island is the most beautiful place! The weather is perfect right now, sunny and low 20s. Today we walked the estuary, two beaches, and did two hikes at Seal Bay. We saw our son’s new house...

    Yes, lots of connection problems. 5.8 this gloomy morning. A few days ago it was 35 degrees….today it’s 15. We should be thankful, at least there are no significant fires here…..unlike northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan….i feel for them. leg day at the gym and then housework.

    Diabetes after pancreatitis

    Hi, your story is so very similar to mine. Almost twenty years ago I too ended up in the hospital with severe acute pancreatitis. I was, and still am, a non drinker. No cause was ever determined. I spent 16 days in the hospital and two months of “no food by mouth”. I was on insulin in the...

    I’m here, just don’t post much….my numbers are quite consistent. Today was 5.9 (fingerprick). Put another Dexcom g7 on this morning. adding a few more carbs into my diet with absolutely no effect on blood sugar, I love that. I do mean a few….but it’s nice to have some berries and yogurt! off...

    6.1 this morning….ate some extra carbs yesterday…just a few in some ever so yummy wraps (B-Free). Net carbs about 3.5 per wrap, very good but…..not for me, at least every day. They have bamboo fibre in them which set my intestines off… went garden shopping this morning, the wind was howling...

I, and this is not advice, eat a carnivore diet (or very close to it) with zero to five carbs a day to keep my blood sugars as low as possible. I also exercise daily….i...

    Was finding carb creep an issue….it’s wasn't a lot but it was getting very easy to have a bite of apple, a small cracker….just little things that were not working for me. Because of that I decided to get some more CGM’s and just watch the numbers. My Dexcom is now attached and working like a...

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

    Uggg….after days of bloating and other fun stuff I came to realize that I do indeed have a flare up of diverticulitis. I’ve only ever had a couple of flares so I forget what it feels like until it’s too late. Luckily I have antibiotics and am only ingesting clear fluids….and I’m HANGRY! I hurt...
