I seem to be getting more sensitive to carbs For the last week I've been getting higher than ever readings with foods I already 'proved' are okay tonight I had 2 sausages, the type I've had before with no problems (bg 5.9) but tonights reading 6.7 - all I had was 2 sausages in a creamy cheese...

Two days fasting gave me a reading of 3.9 which shocked me so much I did two further readings straight away of 4.3 and 4.2 I was very happy with the 2nd & 3rd reading but thinking about the 3.9 made me panic a little and I felt a bit light headed and shaky although I'm sure that was all just...

Bit fed up today, weighed in at exactly the same weight as last week weighed at same time, but nothing - decided my scales mustn't be working so weighed a cat (she wouldn't stand still) then my daughter bounced on saying yay she'd lost a pound I climbed back on - still the same weight, lifted...

Wow at last ! after 36 hours fasting (with an injection of 500 cals at the appropriate time) I woke this morning with a fasting reading of 5.5 :D and for the first time some colour on my ketone stick (albeit still quite light) Fasting is definitely working for me - anybody else with magic...

I am low carbing, most days I'm around 35 sometimes 50 but judging by my readings, I don't seem to be able to eat much carb per meal to give me a reading of over 7 and tomatoes, raw tinned, or puree (this sort of knocks bolognaise off my eating list :( ) send it over 8 and I have the same...

I teased myself, night before last reading up on neuropathy :( - which I think I have in my feet/foot Then yesterday I did my first weigh in to prove this diet was one I could lose weight on and I'd lost 2lb (great but the day before I couldn't wait for the official weigh in so I'd weighed...

Apparently high bg leaves us looking old :eh: BBC News online "The test was developed to investigate the link between sugar in our diet and perceived age. My blood sugar level was low which was consistent with a younger appearance. People with higher blood sugar tend to look older on average...

I have just spent at least two hours searching for Whitby Jets Lemon & Lime Cake - so first question Does anyone know where it is ? Second question Can recipes be organized even roughly - into meals, cakes, puddings .. now the thread is so big its really hard to find stuff :? Gilly

I was late tonight getting a reading, when I remembered it turned out to be three hours post prandial My reading was 4.3 - most of my 2 hour readings vary somewhere between 7.2 and 6.4 dependent on carbs consumed and my fasting bg is never lower than 5.2 .... anybody have an answer for why it...

found MFP today, and loaded it up with some numbers - according to the calculations - if I eat 1973 cals, 34 carb, 177 fat and 74 protein a day it'll take me 3 years 4 months to lose 95lbs :***: I can't be waiting that long ! please somebody tell me it'll happen sooner :| Gilly
