Fibre 13g
Fat 117g

I seem to be eating more protein of late not that it bothers me, I’ve decreased my carb load just to see if this will help with the numbers when I go for my next HBA1c which won’t be till August now by the looks of it and no phone call from docs which is weird as I thought she’d of been in contact.

I have my diabetes my way app and the realms are 42-58 which surprised me big time as I naturally assumed it would be below 42 on no meds and the above if on insulin but that’s even higher.

my other news is I’m joining a gym for 21 days to build muscle or is that get strong. so we shall see.

feel rubbish today and full of gas and very bloated and need to be near the loo (TMI!!) god knows what’s causing it as my diet hasn’t really changed at all. Not had a flare up of IBS in long enough too but wonder if it’s gallbladder related as I don’t have one. To much fat maybe answers on a postcard.
