    Low carb beer?

    Oh, mate. Try El Presidente from the Dominican Republic or Chang, Archer or Red Horse here in Thailand. Then you’ll know.

    Calf muscle pain

    I've been having this. Last check up at the hospital they put me on a full-body blood pressure testing machine. Strange thing. Apparently my BP is lower than normal in my left leg and may lead to a bypass in my leg. Another strange thing.

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    My morning numbers over the last week or so: 4.5, 4.5, 4.2, 4.8, 4.4, 4.2, 5.1, 4.2, 3.7, 2.7, 4.2, 3.8. We were away at the beach for 5 days of that but, for the most part, I kept temptation at bay. Knew something was wrong when I awoke with the 2.7 as I felt rotten but it soon passed.

    Hba1c test result of 6.5 today. Disappointed it's not lower but it's only 7 weeks since the last test of 7.1 and I assume there's a hangover from that. Next test in January so we'll see.

    Morning all. 4.7, 4.4, 4.4, 4.8, 3.9, 4.4, 4.6, 4.7 and 4.3 this last week. A sausage sandwich did spike me to 7.8 after breakfast on one day so they are now confined to a fortnightly treat.

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    I've only taken one post-breakfast reading in the last week as I'm just leaving a period of intensive self-testing and have only been eating meals that testing has shown to be acceptable. That said, the post-breakfast test two hours after a hearty meal of ham, fried egg and reduced sugar...

    4.0, 5.1, 4.5 and 4.1 on the last few mornings. Testing less now as I'm just eating things that I know.

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    Morning all. 4.0 this morning. I've had the joyous discovery that a small can of reduced sugar baked beans has no effect on my levels. Breakfast yesterday and today has been bacon, beans and a fried egg and my 2 hour reading has been a .8 rise on both days from my FBG. Oh joy, oh rapture.

    That said, it will be a breakfast to breakfast fast. It'll have to be as I'll be full as an egg!

    It's the bread at the buffet breakfast. It's the bread.

    Hi! I'm doing ok with it so far and hope to continue but my need for a great big sandwich is assuming biblical proportions. We have a short break planned for the coming weekend and I know I'll fall at the breakfast buffet. I'm considering popping a glycazide as an aid to deal with what WILL be a...

    Hi! There's a few days in those stats where I just eat once or twice and I sometimes do breakfast to breakfast fasts (though not in the last fortnight) although since I tend not to eat after 16:00 breakfast is normally a welcome meal. As for drinks I have maybe 4 mugs of tea (splash of milk and...
