5.6 this morning at 6:30. And 5.9 last night. If my memory is right this is the lowest fasting number since my diagnosis.

Last night’s dinner was a tiny chappati with spicy roasted eggplant (baingan bhartaa) and a salad. I had some nuts later as a snack before bedtime

Happy weekend everyone.

This is really messed up.Can barely rise to stand with cane.Had to go to the really big guns,soma plus oxycodone every 6 hrs,Im a total zombie mush brain but I can stand.Slept 6 hrs,thats huge.All i can do is meds and wait to resolve,BTDT,have several t-shirts.One hand,1 finger typing,this is so screwed up.

Listening to classic audiobooks on youtube......starship troopers,around the world in 80 days,I can sort of follow them,videos out of the question,cant concentrate enough.

Other foods until.....
2200-Grapefruit
0300-Steak and asparagus with butter
0330-Ate a pint of cornuts-yes,this is really messed up.Almost done with them,wont buy more,get pork scratchings instead for non cooked foods.
1600-12.5 hrs fast.1 boiled egg,1 radish while lying on floor.Dogs sympathetic,good doggies.
1830-Cauliflower and green beans with butter,reallly good pork chop with fat.
2330-piece of milk chocolate

0615-6.75 hr fast-FBG-5

Will have breakfast when wife gets around to it,no way can I stand long enough to fry an egg and sausage.
Surprised sugars being reasonable.Broke through that 214 lb barrier I was stuck at,213.2 lbs.
Weather 75F.Clear and sunny.Garden looking really well,early plantings doing fine which is big deal in mountain high altitude,shady trees,short growing season.Still have to move 17 pots from greenhouse,if any strong neighbor kids walk by will hire out that job.They weigh about 40 lbs.

Hope today is wonderful for all.

5.8 last night
5.8 this morning

Am happy. It was fish for dinner last night which was a bit too salty - my mistake - but potatoes were under salted (not my mistake). So it was all ok. Monday - back to the grind. I am not terribly excited about it. But it is Ramadhan week and a real short week at work. Have a great week everyone.

Monday June 3
FBG at 0800 was 5.5 (7 hours fasting), food yesterday was;

Breakfast: blueberries 1/2 cup, black tea, 500 mg metformin
Lunch: salmon salad sandwich using 1 piece of whole wheat bread, Nestea diet iced tea, 4 dried apricots
Dinner: Large bowl of shrimp wonton soup, glass of tequila w/water, glass of red wine, 500 mg metformin
Snack: glass of sake
Late late snack: 2 large tablespoons of Breyer's butterscotch ripple ice cream

Temp here 17C at 0840, skies hazy, fires still burning up north. Succumbed to temptation about 0100 (woke up feeling thirsty) and had 2 tablespoons of real ice cream, but did wash it down with a very large glass of delicious tap water. Starting in on disassembling Land Rover in expectation of a rebuild, not quite sure of what my course of final action will be...
