Well, when you put it in those terms, I see your point. Nothing is easy :-)

TorqPenderloin, I have wondered about the accuracy of the meter. I actually have 2 of them and take my BG with both, sometimes they are similar and sometimes they are 15-25 points different. I usually avg them out when this happens. Crazy huh? Why can't they make a meter that reads correctly...

Thanks nosher, being new to all this, the jump in BG had me worried. It seems to happen more when I eat protein, versus just veggies, and also when I add spirulina to my veggie blend, which makes no sense. Last week, protein made the BG go down, hence my concern. The range for pre-diabetes is...

Hello everyone, I have been monitoring my BG for about 2 weeks now, and for the most part it has been fairly steady. But this past weekend I was quite baffled to see my BG levels higher than normal, even though I was eating the same diet. Usually my BG, 1 hour after eating will be around...

So I guess it's normal, to have times of good exercise and no exercise. I am really struggling to do it at the moment, and it is very frustrating and a bit scary. I wish there was a way to figure this out.

Well, I have an appointment with my functional doc on Monday, I'm sure he'll be able to shed some light on this. Thanks for your feedback.

I am just curious as to why the capsules don't spike me, but the powder does. Could it be that the powder is not the natural form? Hmmmmm

Update: My 2 hour BG was 102, which is very reassuring. So I guess no more vit c powder for a while.

Hello, Has anyone had this happen to them. This morning my BG upon waking was 93, which is good for me. I ate a LCHF breakfast, took my usual vitamins, but this time I added 1.5g of ascorbic acid powder. 1 hour later my BG was at 145, which is extremely high. I was told to take 6g of vitamin...

You're probably right

Just for the record, I lived in England for 4 years and my oldest son was born there. I enjoyed it very much and go back whenever I can. I also lived in Germany.

No worries mate

Quick update: My BP and HR are back to normal levels today. 126/80 & 74. Thank goodness

Brunneria you are correct again and I totally forgot about that. It makes much better sense now. Thanks

Gotcha, and to your point, I also don't get hypo readings during sleep, but I feel quite shaky and strange. So I guess it was an assumption. My BG levels go up between 7 to 10 points, but I thought that was normal. I do get back down close to or a bit below my pre meal BG after 2 hours. I eat...

nosher, Are you saying that if your pre-meal BG is 85, your 1 hour post meal BG should not be greater than 88? Also, how to avoid hypo while asleep? I find that to be my most difficult time.

This is all so chaotic, at least to me, but I have to do it and I will. I just took my 2 after meal BG readings and they are as follows: Waking BG: 89 Breakfast: Veggie shake w/nuts, coconut oil, garlic, and water 1.5 hour BG: 110 ( I lost track of the time) 2 hour BG: 94 These have been...

One more question. How much should my BG go up/down 1 hour after a meal? What is the acceptable limits? Thanks, DanteNXS

That is very great and inspiring news. Do you mind telling me what type of diet you are on? LCHF, vegan, ...?

Thank you very much Brunneria, that does help. I was aware enough to not consume too many carbs in response to the event. I ate a small amount cheese and nuts, which didn't really help much, and just rested. My BG this morning was 89, which was the lowest it has ever been for me, and I fell...
