Good morning. 4.9 @ 0600.

101mg/dl
It could've been better if I didn't ate late dinner (brown rice with fish)
I believe I have to be more careful.

I had a little chat with my older, T2, sister who used to take two doses of mitformin and one dose of amaryl. she used to have morning readings no less than 130 mg/dl.

I convinced her two months ago to cut meds and go low carb. at first she had difficulties in her readings, but today her reading started to reach 127mg/dl.
This is promising and I hope it could be managed more.

3.4 @ 06.37, now 39 hours in 48 hour fast ([email protected] last night). Decided to do longer fast after shadowing my wife help her sister-in-law who has decided to go Keto.

As my hba1c is due May when I see DN I'm not experimenting with carbs until afterwards. So I'm hoping to maintain these levels so I can show my DN how LCHF diets work for us. She didn't want me to do this. Gave me the usual nhs recommendations!!!

Stick to your guns, the moreso when you see from your meter it works. It does take the mind a while to trust going in the opposite direction to conventional wisdom on diet. Trust your meter.

Spavined droplet struggled from my finger and registered a sickly 5.6 this morning. Letter to MP already penned and posted.

5.3 on a rainy Saturday!

 

[ickihun]

Fbg 8.0 due to no metformin. Increased basal but no fbg change. Had a walk out yesterday but ill today. Older son has given me his lergy. Cough and cold. Up through the night but only after 6hrs sleep (woke twice in that 6hrs). Not bad for me. I could probable get a sleep aid but like to be available for not fully mature 4yr old.
