I quite agree I do not want to be more ill than I am. But without the blood sugar problems I have been ill for 20ys, and while I do not willingly respond to fatigue by eating disastrous meals, I have had to learn to not beat myself up when things go wrong - because that makes me feel worse and...

Hi, Recently I have been curious how I can eat 100g fresh coconut with 100g pistachios and barely get any movement in my blood sugar, despite the 33g carbs (not counting fibre). Yesterday, I had a "too tired, too hungry, too stressed" episode that led (as it sadly often does) to crisps and...

Hi thanks for the ideas. Since I posted we have had family health troubles (emergency ambulance stuff) going on this end, so I haven't been able to do much more. But the BG has been fairly good. Using fasting and some paleo. Take care all. [emoji846]

Follow up to looking for high fat ideas and from listening to Ron Rosedale at Low Carb Vail 2016. I thought I would test protein today. Using the Libre, I tried 10g of chicken protein, which equates to just 36g of roast chicken without the skin. And my blood sugar rose by 1 mmol/L one hour...

Well, it was a long process. I realised that when I had cereal with milk for several days then the migraines increased, swapping to rice milk and the migraines behaved better. Yoghurt- same effect. Cheese was the last (this year) to remind me that without it I can breath better and sneeze less...

Hi all, I find that dairy gives me various symptoms from migraine to other stuff I do not want to describe. So I want to not go there again. After many years on and off low carb my weight is down, and I need to slow the weight loss. Other disabilities make it difficult for me to use kitchen...

I bought my Codefree meter in Jan 2015. Being of a scientific bent I tested it on the same drop of blood and on separate fingers, and felt content to find that for me and my blood, it was generally within +\- 0.1 mmol/L (e.g. 5.4, 5.3, 5.5). Which for me was more reproducible than the two...

I am still undecided. But I wanted to say a HUGE thank you for the graphic. Understandably confusing but I find it very helpful to give a picture of the complexity. I think I also agree with your point, there seems to me so many guesstimates from both sides with very little practicality...

Hi all, I am now on my second sensor. It really helped me to bring down my BG levels and I had far fewer hypo readings overnight once my daytime readings were less high (I control by diet not meds). I have read on here that several people attach their next sensor several hours or days before...

My Libre starter pack arrived last week, I attached it on Tueday, it finally seemed to get 'sensible' on about Thursday. Last night and this morning, I noticed that the Libre registered lower blood sugars when I lie down to read or rest - even when I am not sleeping. When I stand up and move...

Do you take a vitamin tablet? The vitamin Riboflavin B2 can turn urine fluorescent - because it is water soluble any excess comes out in your urine, and produces this amazing colour. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riboflavin

I just managed to capture a fast drop with a meal which contained about 15g carbs, with 25g protein, about 30g fat. One hour later I was feeling extra tired and weak so I tested and it was 5.8, not low. But I was still feeling weak and getting weaker, so I tested 5 minutes later - it had gone...

Thank you :)

Hopefully, I have managed to upload a pdf of the graph and report I wrote for my GP. I have been wondering whether I am reacting to fructose with the raspberries? :confused:

Thank you. It is good to be here. I agree a food diary is very helpful. Especially to see how food has changed and how blood sugars are changing. I have a question. The Abbott Libre meter - how good is it for relative hypoglyceamia monitoring? My blood sugars can change so quickly, they can...

I suppose I have known for many years that I probably have low blood sugar problems. But they seemed small when I became ill with Fibromyalgia and discovered I also have Aspergers. When I have tested my blood sugars they seem to change a lot. I read the Jenny Ruhl books on low carb and decided...
