    Advice please-High Blood Glucose and no clue why?

    The 9's already sound a little better. I am glad you are going to get blood work up and consult your doctor. I would not worry too much about fasting numbers but a 13 is still pretty high at anytime of the day or night. I think you are right to be concerned and take steps to lower it. Sounds...

    Weekly weigh in - Fridays

    85.5 kg or 188 lbs yesterday at the gym. I recalibrated and checked it four times. My home scale also indicates a gain. I have gained 8 lbs in one week-it has to be partially water weight from extra salt but wow! that's a lot-I am so glad I weighed for my weigh in Tuesday-otherwise I would not...

    Advice please-High Blood Glucose and no clue why?

    Hi! @irish-colt I should have asked your permission before starting this thread for you-sorry about that. I had to post and run yesterday. I hope you are finding the advice helpful. I notice that you are eating mostly vegetables now-some vegetables and fruits also contain carbohydrates-it may be...

    Courgette shortage

    Hand pick the ones on the plants and eventually you will reduce their numbers, I would use gloves because they are slimy-also putting cornmeal around the ground at the base of the plants is reported to irritate them-I have not tried it.

    Advice please-High Blood Glucose and no clue why?

    Carbohydrates are the main source of high blood sugar in most of our diets. Use your meter to find out how you react to carbohydrate containing foods by testing your blood glucose before you eat them and then at 1 hour and two hours after you eat them. Eat a measured amount so you know how you...

    Advice please-High Blood Glucose and no clue why?

    I started this thread for @irish-colt. I will start off by tagging @daisy1 for you with some advice we give new comers and then I will quote your first post in My fasting glucose this morning: Hi folks. Started my diet after New Year's Day. Down 6kg from 102kg Got my monitor last week and...

    Courgette shortage

    Put out a small saucer or tub lid of beer for the snails-they crawl into it and drink themselves to death. They don't have livers. Also, here in SW USA we have plenty of zucchini (couregette)-from Mexico and other regions south. I will plant more here in the Spring but the rabbits, opossum and...

    Porridge Oats sucks up blood fats?

    My cholesterol is better since I started eating oatmeal nearly every morning but I also started eating more vegetables and salads at the same time so it may be a cumulative effect with all the changes. It is far better for my cholesterol than the cinnamon roll or croissant and coffee that I used...

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

    7.7 or 139 mg/dl, bad night and tooth pain this morning, I checked after breakfast and PPD was 193, may also be old insulin last night-changed pens today. I am tempted to inject again but will ride this out and inject again tonight at the usual time. I will test this afternoon again though.

    Soft Proteins for Dental Issues

    I took the meat off the bones of chicken thighs before serving and I cut the olives off the pit when adding to the stew-for mom-they would be choking hazards for her. I was about to just throw everything in whole until I thought about her-we once had an ambulance call after she choked on a KFC...
