7.1 a rise from my last few mornings…. Not totally unexpected as I fell off the wagon last night when out for dinner …. I shared a dessert and had a small cocktail…. A blip but back focused again today

6.3 again for me this morning

Those recipes sound lovely, will try those yo post fibre intake. I actually love drinking water …. So that’s one of the least daunting things lol also drink coffee so issues definitely not caused by lack of water

6.3 this morning for me … still waiting on the elusive 5’s

Noted… definitely don’t want to make things worse! Suffer from a lot of constipation but sometimes the opposite but docs reckon one of the main issues is lack of fibre and not enough water, exercise etc I already drink loads of water most days …maybe once every week or two when I have a long...

Hi folks Haven’t posted in a while but still here! Had a cardiology appointment today … follow up from various tests I had at beginning of the year. All good news on the heart front TG but I was disappointed with doctors attitude towards my diabetes T2. My last HBA1C was 49 and he couldn’t...
