After a very restless night with the remains of a cold and difficulty breathing, so had to use Beconase nasel spray and Ventolin inhaler. Nothing I shouldn't have eaten yesterday and 22 hrs of fasting.
14.1 at 07.15 not good. Very bad leg cramp through the night too.
Sorry to hear you're poorly.:( Hope you get more sleep tonight.

A very pleasant fbg 6.1 with no liver block but a up and down day yesterday. A very informative afternoon/evening about my hopefully upcoming bariatric surgery. :) :) :)
No hypos for 2 days too :) :) :)

10.3, I'm confused it's higher than when I went to bed!
Sounds like your liver may be producing glucose. Perhaps try and keep a food diary to discover the culprit. I find that eating any meat protein earlier in the day and having something like a baby bell cheese, a few pork scratchings or a little low release carb before 9pm helps. Red wine is good also :)

Drink water. You may also need a bit of salt. Feel for you as I am up and down most nights with leg cramps.

When people who know nothing about the LCHF diet tell me I'm killing myself being on it. I was killing myself not being on it!
9.3 @ 6am

Woken up by really bad cramp in left calf after a night of weird dreams. Just over 5 wks until son's wedding, so starting to worry about what could go wrong (probably won't), so have now got cold sores on my lip and had migraine yesterday.... But not comfort eating :) Same stress pattern when my daughter got married.
