@bchamp62 Test you BG before you eat then again 2 hours after your first mouthful, if your BG has gone up by 2 mmols or more that’s classed as a reaction (spike)

I don’t have breakfast just coffee with cream. I take Metformin and blood pressure tablets with kefir and done this for over a year without any adverse effects. You could have a chunk of cheese, slice of ham or bacon if you felt you needed to eat

6.3 at 8:15. I couldn’t stand another rubbish nights sleep so took a nytol Have a happy Thursday everyone x

Like @aylalake I snuck in and had my last mouthful just before 7! Which is pretty late for me! I decided not to watch master chef that would tempt fate so I listened to a podcast about carnivore and crocheted. Well done everyone x

I suppose it depends if it spikes your BG, that’s the beauty of testing before and after. As it’s low carb I would say not. But for this challenge I’ve decided to do without my decaf with cream

I take the same combination (metformin and Forxiga). I did get thrush in the first couple of weeks but that was because I thought it was a magic pill so I could eat more carbs! Lesson learnt, keeping the carbs low and making sure I drink plenty of water is working well. My BG used to be in the...

You can get one on a 2 week free trial. https://www.freestyle.abbott/uk-en/getting-started/sampling.html Do you have a glucose monitor and do the finger prick test to see if you have a raised BG to certain foods you are eating?

6.0 at 7:50 same 4 hours sleep again! :rolleyes: Very strong winds again last night and the dogs kept barking at things banging about outside Ggrrrr! Have a hug, a gggrrrr or a kiss, whichever you’d prefer on this windy Wednesday :p

This is day 2 for me! Finished at 6:15pm

I was feeling very dizzy (ended up kneeling down half way up the garden so I didn’t fall over!), then added to that fatigue and breathlessness. My GP phoned me after a blood test to say my folate level was below borderline (B9) I take a supplement now and all symptoms gone. Obviously I'm not...

its great to see you all :cool: Well setting this up has certainly made me accountable and I didn’t eat after 6pm. FBG this morning was 5.6! :happy:

How do you do that? I’ve often wanted to refer someone to a post but didn’t know how. I used to be so good at tech, I think that part of my brain has closed down! :rolleyes:

5.6 at 7:30! Is the challenge working! :cat: I didn’t get to sleep until 2:55 - well that’s the last time I glanced at my watch. Good luck with the chest X-ray @DEBBIESCOTT off to creative writing class this morning. Have a good Tuesday everyone x

Definitely to cuppas ;) I’ve put up a new post but I don’t know how to link it here sorry.

I’ve never had a problem with skinning sausages and do it regularly. Sharp knife slit along the length and peel casing off. It takes me about 3 minutes, if that, to do 8 sausages!

This challenge is really to get me to stop mindless eating in the evening because I’m bored! I don’t eat because I’m hungry so it’s to stop this habit. @ianf0ster I don’t eat breakfast but drink a very large mug of coffee with a bit of almond milk and double cream around 8am, I’ve recently...

I try and stop at 6pm but thought it might be a bit early for some who don’t get in from work until 6! My husband didn’t het home until 7pm. I started plating his up so I could eat earlier but that wasn’t a very sociable habit. Now I can eat when I like.

Who will join me? I intend to do this for the rest of January- 10 days and hopefully I’ll have broken the habit by then and carry on. I‘m not hungry, I suspect I’m bored and it’s becoming a habit. So I thought if there were a few of us that struggle with this it would be good to record our...

if my practice nurse gave me that Croi leaflet I’d toss it in the bin on the way out of the surgery! Low Fat diets are the reason most of us have diabetes and the reason it is now a pandemic. Even children as young as 10 now have diabetes. Updated studies are telling us to steer clear of seed...

Wow that’s fantastic, great results, you should be very proud of yourself :happy:
