NOVEMBER 2012 - MORNING READINGS - LOW CARBERS

[GraceK]

Wow! What a difference a packet of crisps makes to my morning FBS!

Two days ago my FBS was as low as 6.6 with Codefree = 5.6 and I was chuffed with myself.

This morning it's 8.2 = 7.2 after eating a packet of crisps yesterday evening. I checked my BS before I ate them and it was 6.8, I checked an hour or so after I'd eaten them and it was 9.2.

Also I was up and about at 5am this morning, woke up and couldn't get back to sleep and I feel full of energy and not even the slightest wheeze or irritation in my lungs. I'm wondering if this is the result of taking the Olive Leaf Extract.

8.0 this morning and I was really good yesterday - bacon, eggs and tomato for breakfast, 3oz ribeye with cauli and toms for lunch and same again at teatime, 4 small round crackers with Boursin cheese, 2 satsumas, 1 diet coke, 2 coffees with cream. Not a lot of carbs there I would think, but I did have the two satsumas late on in the evening.

Some people say to eat something before bedtime, but whatever I eat before bed seems to send my BS up for a while. I seem to do better FBS when I've slept for more than 8 hours.

7.2 this morning and I was up at 6am again! It has to be the Olive Leaf extract. :think:

6.7 this morning and I went to bed early and woke late! I suddenly felt very tired at around 6pm, probably the result of two very early mornings 5am and 6am. Could hardly keep my eyes open through Emmerdale :x but I had to to see what happened to Katy. Then Corrie was on for an hour and I wanted to see how Tyrone got on with his husband beating wife Kirsty, so I sort of propped myself up and forced myself to stare at the screen like a kid who won't give in to bedtime! :roll:

I then promptly fell asleep before the sound track finished and woke up at 11 and went to bed and woke up at 11.30am with a banging headache which I'm going to have to take a couple of paracetamol for before it gets worse.

I never used to get headaches. Why am I getting this sudden overwhelming tiredness and headaches now? All I did yesterday was go to a one hour appointment where I talked a lot and then walked round the supermarket for half an hour, came home, ditched the shopping and went swimming for an hour. Doesn't seem like a lot to me. I don't know how I'm going to cope with full time work again. :think:

6.7 again this morning = 5.5 with Codefree.

Yesterday breakfast and lunch sort of followed each other in quick succession. I had crackers and egg mayo for brekkie, then about an hour later I fancied some veggies so I had roast beef, veggies and gravy. Then I wasn't hungry until around 5pm when I had two weeny bananas and a peach with double cream and later on some tomato soup. Strange menu but it worked for me.
