    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    :)Be nice to yourself-I have had a couple of those unexplained plateaus-I just kept to my low carbs and increased my calories a little (calories from 1200 to increase of 1400 or 1600 for a few days, carbs from 80 to 120 per day with no increase) and my fasting blood glucose came back down. I...

    Which diet?

    Hi @dawniet! and Welcome to the forum-I will tag @daisy1 for you with some information that we give newcomers to the forum. Her message contains a link to the free low carb program here as well. Many have used it with great success, especially for the first 15 pounds of weight loss with reduced...

    Oh. I know, and exercise just happens without having to try too much. I lived in Denver for about 18 months-a long time ago, that was the first time I felt the need to force myself to exercise.

    I miss sand-I grew up on the beach-there is only sandy loam and clay here. They have imported a little bit of sand for some of the waterfront areas on a huge man made lake but they are tiny compared to a real oceanfront beach.

    Nursing Home Insulin Killer Sentenced

    We had a male nurse in Oregon, USA about 25 years ago who did the same thing-giving lethal injections to older patients-sometimes overdosing insulin and not feeding diabetic patients, and giving too much morphine to some with cancer. It turned out he was not actually trying to kill them-just to...

    Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

    I am using chron-o-meter for daily carb and calorie counting now, since last week but still like to get ideas from other people sometimes. Breakfast: Brown Cow full fat vanilla yogurt with Great Grains Raisin, Date, Pecan Granola on top, coffee with 2% milk (I have drunk 2% so long I just do not...

    Low carbing in UK is a nightmare

    Yum, I am at home but have eaten all the carbs I should today and am hungry-I have an avocado in the refrigerator and you just reminded me-thank you! (I will make roast chicken for tomorrow-I have frozen raw chicken in the freezer.) Problem solved for two days.

    Feeling sick

    Are you on medication to lower your blood glucose? I always feel unwell when my blood glucose is that high but then again my blood glucose always goes up when I am sick or in pain or stressed. Do you know what elavated your glucose?

    Testing your meter.

    I only tested the first meter and I think first three batches of test strips with solution. I do test new meters and old meters against one another though and have found that they are pretty similar so far. I am 4 meters in so far with 7 years on my favorite which died a few months ago. It just...

    Type2. How Agressively Do You Exercise? www.FixingDad.com

    Yes but I have to deal with my care responsibilities at the same time-I can keep an eye on mom while I go in circles with the push mower and stop on a dime when she gets in front of it. I also enjoy the physical activity outside. I could not bicycle outside with her-she never really mastered...
