I had a similar experience to you- had a weird pain in my side- like a random ache- for a few weeks before I went to the doctors who checked my blood sugar and ketones and packed me off to a&e with bm of 30 and ketones in my urine, and was put on a drip for dka. Since my blood sugar has gone...

Morning all 9.5 this morning Had an awful day yesterday my cat is very ill and I was up during the night with him after he got back from the vet. I had a bowl of low carb cereal at 8pm and this morning my blood sugar reflects both the stress, lack of sleep and the extra food I had Hope everyone...

My DSN said that they could justify getting me a CGM even if I am not Lada and type 2 if it turned out I needed insulin…but then she also said I should eat more baked potatoes sooooo…..

Totally second what @bulkbiker says. I still spike somewhat 3 months into low carb and IF but it’s less than it was and consistently in single figures now but only the past few weeks. It takes time. You’ll get there [emoji4]

5.4 for me. Have a good one people

Morning all. 5.4 for me

Thank you I’ll check it out now [emoji4]

Thank you, that’s good to know [emoji4]

Brilliant! Good luck for your hba1c!

I was going to try the Libre too, but am waiting for gad antibody tests back to see whether I have Lada/type 1 which would entitle me to one on the nhs -I suspect I don’t -but will wait for results. Luckily the diabetes team have provided me with blood and keto monitors (I had dka in feb). Good...

You’re so welcome. Being coeliac sucks [emoji23] congrats on the blood pressure! my blood pressure hasn’t dropped much yet (was very high, now high/normal) but I’m hoping if I continue to lose weight and eat right this may help too. I’m a huge stress head which doesn’t help that. But at the...

So I’m two weeks in to the fast 800 low carb (40g net carbs a day) and 3 months into low carb/IF. It complicates things that I have coeliac disease and also am a vegan, but with preparation and inventive use of tofu and tempeh (and discovery of vegan babybels and ‘this isn’t bacon’ bacon!) I am...

5.4 have a good week all

5.4 good morning all

Morning all! 5.8 for me. I’ll take that. Have a lovely day everyone [emoji4]

I know! And it was only a slice! Luckily I am not a huge fan of vegan block cheese and won’t be buying it again. will stick to primula plant based or a vegan babybel as it doesn’t seem to spike my bm in the same way. But that late evening snack has been given the chop now as it always makes me...

8.2. Are far too late last night and paid the price this morning. Late night snacking is my bete noir [emoji22]

8.2. Ate dinner far too late last night. [emoji22]

6.9. Had a cheeky bit of Violife epic mature before bedtime. Oops.

I vape a lot and I have not found that it impacts my bm in any way [emoji106]
