Type 2 Life

I put on a pre-diagnosis pair of jeans last week just for a shop run. Did them up and they fell down. Good for the soul, heavy on the purse. I second getting intrim bits from charity shops and supermarket reduccies as this LC>F lifestyle is a lesson in changing body shape....

Forgot to test this am as I awoke with a stonking hangover. Don't know how that happened...
My son is still asleep at midday, jet lag bless him. Have a great day everyone.

Hi hj. Those 6pm bouncing up n down numbers must be unpleasant hun. It'll be interesting to see what happens if you do decide to fast for a day. Will you be posting about it? Your Sunday sounds nice n chilled. And yeah, the rugby does suck you in. I'll be watching the NZ v Argentina later this afternoon with Mr AJ. Makes us forget the dismal display of footy from NUFC yesterday. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
 

Hi @Alzebra. Noticed your absence on the thread & guessed you'd be busy now that it's term time. Sounds like everything's going great for you. Bet you're feeling good about everything. And so you should.
 
Hi folks. Hope you're all having a lovely Sunday, whatever it is you're doing. Sounds like alot of members are achieving some mighty impressive weight loss. It certainly IS good for the soul as gravitycarb has said. This mornings BG was 5.0, and 2 hours after a yummy full English breakfast 4.6 All ok there then. Good health everyone.


 
5.5 am
Monday and things, we'll see how it goes,
take care

Hi Folks

5.9 this morning, which is distinctly dark, dank, wet and miserable..

Been to the farm shop to cheers myself up and just enjoyed an almost carb free lunch of steak canadienne and mushrooms, fried in butter.. I couldn't wash it down with a nice red wine at lunchtime though, as I'm not on holiday...
 
4.4 this morning, and I've got vertigo! Had it since yesterday and my bloods have been good so a bit unsure? Maybe nothing connected to my T2 or LCHF but I end up second guessing myself all the time

That does not sound so good, how does it show? I hope it is brief.
You're right about second guessing.... my left shoulder is showing signs for freezing... just as my right is looking better...

I feel really dizzy and kind of nauseous. I'm walking across my classroom and suddenly veer off to one side, a bit like being drunk! I've googled it, no idea why it came on, my symptoms are better when I lie down so it's not likely to be an ear infection. I'll just have to wait and see
 
low BG's?
 
low BG's?

Don't think so HJ, my bg has been good for a while, and not dropping too low. I suppose it could be false hypos, but I'm thinking maybe some kind of virus or migraine? Meanwhile, I'm lurching round school like I'm half cut
 
4.9 am, slept like a log, which may have been due to the late shift...
another day
hope it goes well for all
 
6.0 this morning a bit high for me. I am drugged up on antibiotics and steroids so am blaming the meds.
 
Morning Folks

Bit scary 6.7 this morning, higher than its been for quite a while and I really don't know why. Ok, maybe I took a few liberties last night - 4 squares of dark chocolate and a small malt at bedtime, but its not like I haven't done that before.

I did have pie and peas for tea last might, which I haven't had for a while, maybe an unfortunate combination?
 
6.4 this morning. Sugar levels same more affected by inhaled and tablet steroids Dose's been high. DN is talking to consultant about changing my insulin while chest is really bad
