Logically it would make more sense to see a blood glucose rise, not fall from a tattoo (if your body responded to it as say an 'injury') - though others may be able to advise on this based on experience. Stress again typically would cause a blood glucose rise - basically the stress response is...

LOL! That's the spirit!

Hi @livitridge, Had you been more active than usual during the day or done some strenuous exercise? Remember when you exercise you deplete the glycogen (glucose) stores in both your muscles and liver. These can take a while to re-stock and so blood glucose levels can begin to fall some hours...

Hi @nicbarnett, Sorry you're struggling, but I can see you're already getting loads of support and great advice from the forum. Just a thought about your eyesight: if you haven't really been testing your BGs regularly but are loading up on carbs it could well be you are suffering some pretty...

Ouch! lots to do and lots of spending - we've done our roof but I think our rewiring will have to wait until we buy a winning lottery ticket! :(

Introducing the SwapShop table! Yes, if you remember those heady days of Keith Chegwin every Saturday morning, be warned it could be a trip down memory lane, as we're asking all those attending the conference to bring along unwanted and unused non-prescription paraphernalia to the SwapShop table...

Lol! I moved my lazy ar$e this morning. I tried running for the first time in over three weeks - it was more of a 'shuffle', but my knees held up and now I feel great! (Mind you I won't get ahead of myself as I only managed a few hundred yards before I began to creak, but it's a start right?!):)...

Hi there @samizip, You may like to read through the threads posted by @Southport GP, who has done some research in his local practice with low carb diets. I believe @Bluetit1802 is absolutely right that on a low carb diet liver function should improve, even with a high fat diet. I have found...

Cut yourself some slack hon - it was the season of over-indulgence. A new year and a slimmer you will begin to emerge in no time. Sorry to hear your daughter is on her travels (well, super happy for her and her adventures, but I hope you don't miss her too much).Bx

Ahhh, mental exercises - I like it!

Sounds great! I think it would be fun to dress up in dayglo lycra just for the hell of it anyway. Who says you have to be young to look like a ray of sunshine! :p;) Hope you made good progress with your sorting.

Hi guys! I found you!!! I knew you'd be rocking some positive motivating thread! Hope you all had a great Crimbo and New Year! I'm doing nothing more than walking at the moment - I went skiing for the first time ever over New Year and wiped out in a blaze of (not so much) glory! Sprained both...

Lol! BG Bingo is a bit of a riot! Yes of course there will be low carb options available for those not as fond as doughnuts as @Andy12345. Importantly everything on offer will have a carb count! :)

Sure - a better idea of the format is on the gbdoc website (www.gbdoc.co.uk). We are following an OpenSpace format which means that you get to raise and discuss the issues that matter most to you. Here's an excerpt on how it works: OpenSpace is a simple way of self-organizing a conference. It...

Hi @Shady-Twist, Well done for taking action! Lowering your carb intake should naturally reduce your blood glucose levels. Just a thought - If you have also started exercising too it could be that that is what is raising your blood glucose levels a bit (certainly if you are testing just after...

Lol!!!! Zzzzzzzaaaaaaaaaannnnnnndddddd!!! Hi hon! How've you been? :)Sorry I've been sooooooo useless recently!:( Great to be back though!!:joyful:xxxx

Awesome! We're going to be booking in to the Premier Inn in the centre of Nottingham! Bring your joggers 'cos we're doing the Beeston Parkrun on the saturday morning (just 'round the corner). We're going for a bit of a 'social' after the conference too - open to anyone and everyone. A chance to...

Sooo hope you can come along Mr12345! You have exactly the right sort of positive energy that will get the place rocking! ;) xxx

Hi @william68, Sorry you're having a hard time. I can see that you have had a blow around work but I can see you're getting lots of great advice from the forum. Is there anything else troubling you? Your health is of primary importance. The antibiotics should kick in after a couple of days...
