Have you had COVID? I was fine diabetic wise except for a few flare ups when I was over zealous on the binge eating. I got Covid delta in Nov 2021 and since then when it flares up aka long covid my blood sugar goes to ****, constantly swinging from hyper to hypo with very little stabilisation...

Just had amazing meal, 1 chicken kiev (cheese and bacon), chestnut mushrooms, pancetta, brocolli, with a piece of gouda cheese melted over the top. <15g carbs. Earlier, minestrone soup, with grated mozerella cheese and 3 sausages. Get creative and keto is great.

I have an iPhone 5S and they only work with 7 or later.

Last 2 days have been perfectly fine EXCEPT after evening meal. And evening meal only. I actually have less carbs in evening meal than post IF meal at 2pm, yet at 2pm-5pm I am fine. But after evening meal I get reactive hypo. Sitting with it currently. Some fruit juice and 15 mins later I'm all...

Are these worth buying? It seems they only show data when you scan them, and they lag behind what is actually occuring because they check the cells and not the blood itself???Therefore they might miss an episode.. I was looking for a continous one but they only work with insulin pumps and I...

Thanks. I have been on Keto since this thread, which is going well but having some wierd episodes. My blood meter seems to be useless. I checked myself when I got up this morning, having not eaten since 9pm last night (5 grapes, due to episode, which may or may not have been hypo, because keto...

Been on keto a few days now, it's great if you think outside the box. Eating chicken and mushroom soup right now, with fried pancetta and mushrooms, then a load of cheddar cheese on top! mmm and only 12g of carbs. Hardest thing about keto for me is not eating too much protein.

Ate a meal at 7pm. Just done prick test...12.2 mmol. Should I be worried? About to go to bed too. I am not diabetic at least that's what the Doctors say when i get bloodtests. I am wondering if lack of blood can cause this? Even with lance on max depthness my blood clots so quickly that I...

They won't give me scores. They just did a full spectrum fasting blood test - high WBC's, everything else normal or within ranges. Perfect blood pressure, which surprised him. Was diagnosed anxiety and offered depressants. Broke 16 hour fast earlier with a large bowl of veg soup. half an hour...

5 hours later 8.8 mmol/g I guess it's time to start worrying eh? Got a bit of a headache and slight blurred vision.

2 hours after consumption - 7.7 mmol/g

Heh with rare roast beef you would probably be better off with a (single) glass of red wine (for heart health) than coke zero :P

OK so it appears I am not getting enough blood on the sticks. Test 20 mins after food - 8.6

He is, he makes me fast before I go for it, but I fast anyway. I just did the post eat 15 min one and it says "Lo" again. Wondering if the meter is broken.

I get reactive hypo sometimes, "food coma" and I also get shakes if I have not had carbs for a while, which tends to be around 20 hours. If I can stick to 20 hour fast 4 hour window I do quite fine but half an hour over and I get the shakes. I got a blood glucose meter lately and have been fine...

Coke Zero is really bad I have found, it seems to trigger insulin response without having any sugar in it to get processed. I really wouldn't drink it at bed time.

A year or two ago I got to the point where I couldn't eat say, a cough sweet without having a food come afterwards. So I did an 8 day water-only fast. It fixed my problems with reactive hypoglycemia, though I had some scary times (the body will mimic hypoglycemia (false attacks)). I want to do...

I am sort of pre-diabetic I think. I used to be near 400lb, now around 320. I have a problem with where I was abused when young and I ate chocolate to cope and it became an anchor and so every time I felt bad I would eat sweets. I managed to negate this for a year or so through an expensive...
