Pretty tulips, Anna. A reminder of spring, when we were all looking forward to what we hoped was going to be a lovely, hot summer. Ho, ho, ho...

Usually my fasting blood glucose in the morning ranges on average 6.3 to 6.8 following LCHF eating.

This morning after drinking 4 pints of strong ale, a double Jack Daniels followed by King Prawn curry with fried rice and a portion of chips washed down with a can of lager the night before was

4.9!

Work that one out!

I think it's something to do with one's liver focusing on dealing with the alcohol first, so that the carbs get processed more slowly and therefore don't cause the BGs to spike. Definitely not a great long-term strategy, though, LOL!

Thanks @Debmcgee . After sleeping for three days due to the anaesthetic, I'm feeling much better, but I need another op in the next few days for a separate urgent but not serious problem. Hey ho!!

Morning all. A completely surprising 9.1 this morning. Highest reading since diagnosis and well up from my usual 4s and 5s. Ate pretty wisely yesterday, drank my normal amount of beer but did stay up late resulting in just 4 hours sleep. No food for me today

8.3 today

it was 17.3 last night but that was after ham sandwiches, crisps and twiglets.

Carbfest this weekend as pre-birthday 'treats'. One day the family will understand about that!
