Message: <blockquote data-quote="AloeSvea" data-source="post: 2697088" data-attributes="member: 150927">OK. Some good data on my poor old blood glucose system. I woke up after a very quiet night in the house, no broken sleep - yay! I watched something on the tele from 9 to 10 last night, during which there was a car crash outside the house, which was a  bit of excitement (no one was hurt, but boy did it make  a very loud sound). My BG only raised .1 from that  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> . So far so good. My BGs had remained stable at 6.7-7.2 during afternoon of Day 3. Then dropped at 9pm to a more intermediate-hyperglycemic zoned 6.4 (6.5 at the car crash!), so I was pleased enough.This morning's FBG was a respectable intermediate-hyperglycemic zoned (Oh if only I didn't need to eat!!!!) 6.3, at 5 am. Aslo  1-2cm off the waist, where there is nearly always some fat deposits to spare! Belly/hips measurement 2cm down which makes sense.Just took a reading nowish and it was 5.8. First time I have seen a 5 preceding any numbers for a very long time! A couple of years? Maybe even more?My brain isn't foggy this morning - nice and clear, although my body and movements are not so good. If I get up too quickly from the chair, I get a bit woozy - normal for me during an extended fast. The clear head might mean some ketones are swishing about, even with the higher than normal BG. I believe so, matching this feeling with past fasts when I tested for ketones.I have no physical energy though, apart from light duties, like washing my limited dishes. Having a shower and getting dressed for a city outing is also as much as I can think about to do, energy wise.Then, I eat!</blockquote>
