I low carb'd for the last ~7 weeks less than 30 g per day for the sole purpose of reducing body weight. As a result my running performance has improved significantly and I'm a bit quicker on the bike. I went back to a higher carb diet recently including cakes ,chocolate bars the works...

Nothing specific but one thing that irritates me is everyday you have to start again. When you have one good day and then try to replicate the same conditions the following day, BS are rarely is the same. By replicate I mean eating the same meals, same dosages and same exercise regime.

My blood sugars tend to rise in hot weather , we've got a heatwave here at the moment and I've seen ~ 1 to 1.5 mmol increase in my fasting blood sugar. The opposite happens in the winter months, especially when the temperature dips into the minus's. I've never quite understood this phenomena...

We've got a heatwave here at the moment and as usual my BS rises to the occasion. Over the weekend I was 6.3 mmol, 6.7 mmol and 6.4 mmol.

4.3 before bed and 5.2 on waking. Heatwave on it's way here, won't see those numbers again until it's passed.

I use this brand :- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Matrix-5-0-Cookies-Cream-Syntrax/dp/B00XVTH2OO/ref=sr_1_33?ie=UTF8&qid=1467963353&sr=8-33&keywords=syntrax+protein Low carb and can eat/drink it in the evening without injecting. It actually helps me to lose weight as I don't snack if consuming it.

I've only had one flu episode since diagnosis (~ 4 years ago) and it was a nightmare took 5 days to recover and blood sugar was continually on the rise. It was during Xmas holidays and I was off for 2 weeks and ended up with the Flu/ virus. Normally I'm cycling in all weathers and this keeps all...

It will be worth the price if we get it here :-) As usual Germany is not at the forefront of low carbing, we can't even get sugar free jelly here :-) I haven't had ice cream for 4 years, since experimenting shortly after diagnosis which resulted in a large spike and am drooling at the thought.

5.2 this morning. Surprising after 3 large pieces of chocolate cake(of the non low carb variety) last night :-0

LOL if only! Ended up taking them to the nearby forest. Wouldn't want to be stung by one them.

We had European hornet nest in our house at one point , slightly smaller that the Asian giant hornet but quite a sight. Unfortunately it's illegal to kill them in Germany so we had to catch them and move them to more suitable locations.

Back to the original question , how fast is is fast acting to be ? I had recent experience which partially answers this question , at least how fast bolus acts on me. Last week I was preparing for lunch at work, I injected the usual 3 units of humlaog bolus to cover my meal and was @ 5.5 mmol...

You don't know how lucky you are in the UK having low carb ice cream. Absolutely no sign of it anywhere here in Germany :-(

I can't get my fasting BS in good range if I eat after 8 pm (especially high carbs or high fat foods). Also if I haven't exercised for a couple of days my fasting BS starts creeping up. Might be worth looking at your meal timings and/ or exercise regime.

5.4 this morning

It's a good idea but I have become so accustomed to guessing the carb content of a meal (quite successfully) I'd probably end up ignoring them anyway. When we eat out I simply order the meal and request the high carb content be omitted (i.e. Chips, potatoes, rice , pasta, bread and for salads to...

5.3 this morning

4.3 going to bed and 5.3 on waking.

39 years old , and am now 43.

4.7 mmol going to bed and 5.8 mmol waking. Too much cake in the evening.
