Definitely part of the equation. There can be so many factors that affect our blood glucose. So it can be difficult to actually zero in on the cause(s). Stress caused my diagnosis so I know it's a major contributor to my levels.

Thanks for your positive thoughts. I've been riding this valley for nearly five years now. It was undoubtably the stress in the very deep part near the beginning that caused my diagnosis! There has been deeper and shallower parts since. Just seems to be a particularly deep and treacherous...

This morning: Blood Glucose 7.9 mmol / L [emoji102][emoji35] Blood Ketones 0.2 mmol / L At bed time: Blood Glucose 5.2 mmol / L Blood Ketones 0.2 mmol / L Think this morning's test is past my dawn phenomenon hence the high reading compared to yesterday's early start. Also think the stress...

Who doesn't like a naughty girl? [emoji12] @Alisonjane10 don't be chicken - It's just a forum "they" can't get to you. LOL [emoji2] Let me know if they try - I can track 'em down and take 'em to task.

OK if you haven't already seen it I've started a fat fast thread. Hope this is alright with you @Baruney & @Merrylizard1314 ? Will still post my fasting readings here though.

Sounds good to me. I was considering whether we should start a thread for the fat fast and invite others to join in? We could pre-empt with preparatory discussion - like what we're aiming for and proposing meal choices, etc Good list of measurements - I can't do blood pressure and my health is...

This morning: Blood Glucose 5.5 mmol / L Blood Ketones 0.4 mmol / L Before bed: Blood Glucose 3.9 mmol / L Blood Ketones 0.2 mmol / L Bed just before midnight.. Early start today! Woke once during the night feeling anxious with Blood Glucose 5.2 mmol / L - obviously stress related. @Baruney...

This morning: Blood Glucose 6.1 mmol / L Blood Ketones 0.2 mmol / L Before bed: Blood Glucose 4.1 mmol / L Blood Ketones 1.1 mmol / L Didn't have the best night's sleep ever. Probably due to high stress levels. I woke feeling agitated with blood glucose 7.6 mmol / L then woke again from...

Not particularly fussy - that typed I would prefer to do the 3 day fat fast over a week day, i.e. start Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. Should we consider creating a three day menu? What preparation should we do?

Virtual low carb party? I'm in for the next fat fast in August BTW! Perhaps have a low carb virtual party before and a carb backload party after the fat fast? @Baruney & @Merrylizard1314 are we starting a pre Fat Fast thread to plan and discuss preparation?

This morning: Blood Glucose 7.2 mmol / L Ketones 0.3 mmol / L Before bed: Blood Glucose 6.7 mmol / L Ketones 0,2 mmol / L Over did the carb back load after my run yesterday. Also had a carby bed time snack. Oh, and stress level is high too! Meh! :(

It's absolutely lovely if thinly smeared on a thin slice of cheddar cheese! I've also placed a blob on top of grated cheese and grilled it to make cheese and marmite crisps. Can't beat marmite by the teaspoonful - for me the only thing to put with it is more marmite! :D

I know exactly what you mean! Sometimes life just gets in the way. ;)

If they didn't test then how would they know the result they would get if they did test would indicate that they shouldn't test? It's a choice and if someone chooses to test then that is their right and who are you to judge otherwise? You're free to have that opinion and I will defend your...

No post yesterday as strip failed and I didn't have supplies at hand to use another for a retest! :( Kind of goes with the whole day - hey, ho! This morning: Blood Glucose 6.9 mmol / L Ketones 0.4 mmol / L Before bed: Blood Glucose 9.3 mmol / L !! [emoji35] Ketones 0.6 mmol / L Hoping to...

This morning: Blood Glucose 6.3 mmol / L Ketones 0.5 mmol / L Bed Time: Blood Glucose 4.6 mmol / L Ketones 0.1 mmol / L Noisy neighbours last night - :mad: Later than normal wake up time. Stress levels are up - as a senior manager said to me "Life is difficult!" - so inspirational that...

5.3 mmol / L Blood Glucose 1.1 mmol / L Ketones On waking this morning. 3.6 mmol / L Blood Glucose 1.0 mmol / L Ketones At bed time. Sleep was after midnight. I'm currently intermittent fasting using Bulletproof coffee and then low carb backloading in the evening. Will blog my records when I...

When I was on my domestic science A Level course (only lad in the class ;) ). I was taught that the word diet is misused in society. Diet is what you eat - so everyone who eats is on a diet and if you don't eat you're fasting. Really, the word diet should be qualified, for example "Low fat...
