Im single at the moment (due to bad breath, hehe) I may try the parsley thank you, but probably wont risk garlic at all, on a night of wild passion. ;)

I'm tempted to try one of those blankets, but would worry I would feel pinned down.

My ideal weight is said to be 12 stone by the "experts", I would be like a skeleton if I reached that with my build....its silly. And I'm over 8ft tall. However, a must admit a low BG is very wise. Unless severely underweight...(yes go on and say the contrary! Lol).

My BG is always 10 in a morning, so I was very arrogantly thinking "who says it should be lower?" I think 10 should be the new norm, I'm in charge from now on. Everyone adjust your targets lol. But really (seriously) how do we know 5.8 is perfect? we are all biogically different.

@JoKalsbeek what's a weighted blanket?? I think a raw garlic clove will work better than supplements, unless you are sleeping with a partner. It's pretty vindaloo with the burn lol. Will you let me know if it helps please. I had periods years ago, when I had sleep paralysis, awake but unable...

Thank you for the replies. @Tophat1900 My nightmares, on the surface are pretty tame, not of vampires. Its me asking my mum as a kid, if she loves me? Sounds lame I know, but it hurts me big time, my Mum was a lovely woman to those that knew her, but an emotional and scary bully to me from a...

I was wondering if bad dreams, nightmares, night terrors, if they would cause a high BG in a morning? I realise that BG will be high in a morning often anyways, but wondered if the above could make matters worse? I have regular nightmares relating to my parents, long story. However I found...

Mr Pot people do give up religion. And then can get born again with it. Amen. Are you Bill or Ben? :)

@DCUKMod Yes but I was referring to income tax ;). And then again children dont pay any tax ..parents do. We need to start taxing children. (I am joking ofc).

Sorry for my embarrassing bad spelling doh! Few on my list, despite masses of research and studies. Tempted to add exercise has a benefit, but that could be challenged too. Death and taxes lol, we may not die but be reborn...challenged! Not everyone pays taxes...challenged! Re number 4. I...

I've gone in circles during my life with different diets along with changing views on diet. Research is very iffy on the topic as there are so many variants. Having completed a research qualification in nursing, the first thing I was told is that "research does not prove anything". The varying...

Hello Benodel well done! Low GI bread, not a fan. Hence I bake my own bread, so I know whats in it, I use the no knead method. I ration myself to two small slices per day...at the most! I use wholemeal flour, oats and various ground seeds and olive oil. Obviously wont touch it when fasting. I...

I am on CPAP, Sleep Apnea apparently its caused by a large tongue....not kidding! It blocks the windpipe when sleeping on your side. My problem was made worse due to diabetes I could sleep all day and all night. Insulin helped loads, but now I need to stop that and get a grip of my over carb...

Always around 10 in a morning, but I wont give up.

I get sharp stabbing pains in my feet occasionally, but I do fine on the foot tests. Obviously my ex wife must have made a voodoo doll of me, however Im sure that would cause pains in more sensitive areas ;). Hope all our foot checks get resumed soon.

The replies here are all helpful without exception, I am grateful :). Probably answered my own question and it fits with the comments posted above....my BG is 6 right now, Ive fasted and exercised like ****, used a ketone stick and its zero. I am miffed ! I probably have hardened insulin...

Thanks for all the replies, I think yes to all the comments. I have been supplied with the keto dip sticks, so yes I will look at using them (didnt think of it doh!). Ziggy I want to lose weight hence want ketosis. Resurgam I want to do the same as you, but gradually and carefully of course...

Thank you Diabell that makes sense. What I aim to do, is have a target BG level so I know that I am burning fat, using low carb, fasting and exercise. In a careful manner, testing very often. If no one can suggest otherwise I am aiming for below 7. Whether I can do this is another matter, but...

Thank you ziggy. That is very useful info. I monitor my sugars when doing the low carb, so much so, I ran out of my sticks and bought more. Ive reduced my insulin use by over 50% so far, since trying low carb and some IF....and lost 7lbs. I get the feeling insulin meds add to the problems, I...

Well hello everyone, if we didn't love sugars we wouldn't be here, maybe. This is my first post, I am T2D on insulin, only recently px and my weight has ballooned! My burning question is: At what BG level does the body switch to burn fat? I trying low carb and IF so it would be helpful...
