FGB(6:40) 7.5

 

One thing i did notice when ever i have high blood sugars consistently high in more than two or three day i see further weight loss.
This week i did loose 0.4 or 0.5 KG.

Did you ever notice this when you loosing your weight?

 

Can't say that I have noticed but with a high temperature calories are burned slightly more quickly and more fluids are lost, and more to the point, most people have a depressed appetite wen unwell. A little weight loss makes sense.
