I got up to a lovely sunny morning. I have walked 2 dogs individually and have come to get my coffee which I thought I would have in the sunshine and it has clouded over! 4.8 at 5:45 when I got up. Not much on today except weeding and stopping a fog licking - weeding is the easier option! Have...

Food today has been un-exciting. B as ever CWC D cheese and ham before another vet trip. More antibiotics and a possible procedure under sedation if it doesn't improve in a couple of weeks. Poor dog was prodded and cleaned causing a lot of yelping. T keto fajita bowls. A DD recipe with beef not...

I am not on any insulin but am on Dapaglaflozin. I was not given any information about ketones from the practice nurse. I was told about Dapa and UTI's and genital gangrene. The bit I know I have gleaned from here, DD and Google. The practice nurse was reading off a screen and the info wasn't...

Thank you @Jim Lahey and @bulkbiker I will keep my eyes open to see if it comes back. I will also sail across the bay of e to see if they are available there at a similar price.

Any suggestions on which blood ketone meter to get?

@bulkbiker According to the instructions the units are mmol/ L. I tested with urine strips and they were a bit lower. I am due a review next week so I will see if I can reduce/ stop meds then. @mike@work I guess my calories yesterday were quite low looking back but not the previous day. I think...

I have a breath ketone meter and over the last 4 days my ketones in the morning have been 2.9, 3.9 4.85 and this morning 5.1. I am following a keto diet with carbs under 25g. I am doing a daily 18:6 fast. My BG readings have been between 4.5 and 5.8 depending on what I have eaten. My questions...

All quiet on the North West front this morning with a 4.8. I am off to carry cases and food down my parents stairs and into the car in a little while. They are off for a week to stay with friends. Later I have the excitement of a return visit to the vets with the ill dog. Then if the weather...

Breakfast was Coffee with cream after sorting the dogs. Off to work quite busy then lunch of Butter Chicken and boccoli. Then off shopping with my mother. Tea was fajitas before a wander to the local primary school to protest at the expense and futility of an election to a body we are not...

5.7 this morning after feeding the dogs and cleaning with salt water one dogs rear. To vote or not to vote that is the question? Take care

@DJC3 I will admit I have had better starts to the day but such are the joys of pet ownership. He is fine in himself but feels the need to lick so he has to be watched carefully.

Not accomplished very much today apart from nursing a sick dog. B usual coffee with cream L drumstick and Brazil nuts D butter chicken curry and broccoli. The evening will be spent trying to stop one dog licking his sore bottom and trying to stop the other one from hiding cos his brother is...

An amazing 5.5 when I got to test about 50 mins after getting up. Awoke to barking from 1 dog went down to see what the issue was. The other dog who was at the vet yesterday with an anal abscess had managed to get it to burst. I will refrain from describing the mess as some may be eating. I have...

I set out to the fridge for yoghurt but remembered the mint choc oppo ice cream so had a small spoon of that and some sparkling water

For a day that started well it went down hill. The morning was OK B was the usual coffee with cream. Work was fine quite busy so the time passed quickly. Came home with a migraine at lunch time. Took medication which sorted it by mid afternoon. Noticed on of the dogs was acting strangely...

A nice square 5 for me today (I have a great dislike of round things) The sky is blue, the dogs are walked and I am enjoying a nice cup of coffee before the annoyances of the day intrude.

A day behind again. @Goonergal, @Bubbsie , I didn't watch either GOT or Eurovision (I do not own a TV) Yesterday was not a good food day B was Coffee with cream as usual A late lunch at my mother's was a low carb disaster. My mother cooks as she always has. On offer yesterday was mash, roasties...

5.1 at 5.45 this morning. I am very surprised it was that low. I had a late lunch at my parents yesterday. Mum had done her best re low carb, she doesn't feel that it is a proper meal if it doesn't have lots of carbs. I felt duty bound to eat some of the things on offer. I refused the sweetcorn...

4.7 this dull, damp morning.

Late again, not sure why or where yesterday evening went to. Completely forgot about Eurovision. Yesterday B coffee with cream L DD Flying Jacob casserole (without the banana) and salad D Ham and cheese B today as above.
