    What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

    It is a dark, damp, dismal grey morning here. I scored 5.8 but as I had been awake for about an hour by then but not got out of bed I will put it down to DP. I didn't sleep well last night but I am not sure why. One of hose things I guess. @HarrisonK you have my admiration for getting through...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

    5.2 when I got up. How do dogs know when it is exactly 5.45.? They start making a noise at exactly that time every day. One of life's little mysteries. Jigsaw completed so I can go back to work today with a clear dining table ( One of my new year resolutions was to eat my meals at the dining...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    @DJC3 I like a gadget but I have absolutely no room in the kitchen for any more, all of the cupboards are full! Thank you all for the welcome. I am looking forward to new and interesting meals on my low carb journey.

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Hi my meals aren't as exciting as some I have read about. I am just learning both low carb and cooking from scratch. I have years of practice with either take away food or can / packet / ready meal cooking. It has been quite a steep learning curve over the past 6 weeks or so. Thank you to all...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

    Had a little lie in this bank holiday morning. (Up at 6.30 instead of 5.45) My aim today is to do as little as possible except for the jigsaw I started last night. Really need to finish that as I can't eat at the table until I do. Have a good day

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

    4.8 for me today. My father rang yesterday to tell me he has a "touch" of vertigo. I went round to see him to find out what that actually meant. He claims he is not dizzy but can not walk in a straight line. Fortunately he isn't feeling nauseous at the moment. He has promised that he will ring...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

    5.6 this morning. I am late posting due to very busy morning. I had to deliver a cake to the church coffee morning (I wasn't tempted to try it even though it was biscoff filling) Then to work to let in the plumber who was supposed to fix the boiler (water in the circuit board) He thinks it will...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

    @dogslife I had completely forgotten about Scot's Emulsion. My mother used to give me some of I had a cold or she thought I was run down. I actually liked it really cold from the fridge. I dislike fish now though unless it comes as fingers or in batter from the chippy - neither of which are...

    5.8 for me but I got ambushed by the dogs and didn't take it immediately on getting up. Grey and damp here today but I am at work all day. Hope it picks up for the bank holiday weekend. Take care out there today

    SR Metformin and diarrhoea

    I had the same issues with Metformin and Metformin SR. I was on 500 twice a day. I persevered for about 6 weeks on each type. I returned to the doctor's doctors and told her that it was affecting my work, I had to have time off it was so bad. I was put on to Gliclazide and since have been put on...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

    @zauberflote I wake with pain over my left eye. I have not really found a trigger, it could possibly be stress or dehydration or just life. I will get a run of 2-5 and then none for 2 weeks mainly at night I wake about 3am. Meditation helps but leaves me feeling very spaced out - everything...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

    5.4 this morning. But better than that is the fact that didn't wake in the night with a migraine. @dogslife and @jjraak Elderly parents are a continual worry my mother is I'll at the moment and requires frequent help and I was one of the ones drafted in to locate my wandering grandmother on...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

    4.4 for me this morning. I am into another run of nocturnal migraines. I usually wake up with them at about 3am and if I have one I will often have 5 or so on the run. I have not found any particular trigger. Have a safe day

    Weather a little on the windy side here today and lots of showers too. Another 5 for me this morning even after a meal out last night. Steak salad and veg. Quite amazing that I wasn't tempted with a pudding or even chips with the steak. My mindset must be evolving. Keep safe in storm Hannah

    @Goacher55 I have just started 16:8 fasting and asked the same question in the fasting thread (not sure how to post a link) I am a coffee addict and can't cope in a morning without a cup of coffee now even better with cream instead of skimmed milk! How I love LC The replies that I got were that...

    A 4.8 for me this morning. I am too saddle sore so in the car this am. @jjraak my 2 dogs definitely see me as a servant. They are off to the groomers this afternoon so there will be a lot of sulking later on!
