[QUOTE="BarbaraG, post: 2691491, member: 47277"] You have to set the speed of my weight loss in the context of where I started - with a BMI of 41.5. If Imlose a firther 6 stone, I will just creep in the top end of “healthy weight”. The heavier you are, the easier it is to lose. At least at the beginning. Yes, I’m using Libre 2. I have access to it by dint of paying for myself - the NHS will no longer provide me anything for self-testing, never mind Libres. Obviously it’s expensive, but I am able to afford it and I find it highly motivating. I won’t use it for ever. Once my BG has been boringly normal for several weeks, I will stop using it as a regular thing. Its thanks to the Libre that I know that between midnight and 6am today, my BG was within the normal fasting range virtually the whole time, and that my highest peak so far today has been 7.6. How good is that?? And my average over the last 7 days has been 6.7. Fasting really is so good for BG. I haven’t heard anything back from the pharmacy about Trulicity - I think I’ll Bob down tomorrow and check in with them. And if they say they can’t get it, well, so be it. Fasting all the way. [USER=518613]@kathryn59[/USER] - I have the world’s sweetest tooth, and always have had. I can also eat unfeasible quantities of crisps, given half a chance. The thing is - when I’m eating that way, the thought of being without them is torture. But when I go cold turkey for a few weeks, it’s like it breaks their stranglehold. I’m now at the point where I can have a little of something, sometimes, and it’s OK. I won’t let it become every day, though, I think that would be dangerous to me. [/QUOTE]
