4.7 @ 07.15 (Contour XT) The last few days have been hard as bath and ginger cakes have been plentiful around me.

 

[JanetMcDowell]

Back from holidays and back 2 days early because of relentless rain. No fun with 2 of us and a wet dog. 5.8 this morning.

Sorry to hear about your aborted holiday, but a good FBG reading!

4.8 this morning.

Amazing what getting back from holiday, back to work and changing the battery in the AC Mobile (after ignoring the low battery message for 3 weeks) can do for your FBG readings

 

[Johnroy]

8.6

 

[ally1]

6.1

4.6. That's a new low for me!

That's quite low, Aini, and I'm concerned that you feel sleepy.
Others who have more experience will know better, (I don't take insulin, so I don't know much about it), but I'm wondering if you are going too low and heading for a hypo...?
What do you think, guys...? @ickihun @13lizanne @liam1955

I think what she means is it was a busy day and now she feels tired!

I think we should adjust the medication to what we eat not what we eat to our medication that is very nhs!

aini maybe you need to put down your insulin dose again... you are doing soooo good. Well done. I hope you have your dsn number and can call with the results to get advice... they may be able to advise you over the phone and keep up with your amazing results... (as in doing so well with your diet). Hopefully you will be off all medication soon

Morning everyone, 6.0 today

 

[Serena51]

Thanks for the en;couragement Debs, I am proudly back on track .....

Today was 12.2 .

 

[busydiabeticmum]

Mine were 6.0 again...and they were 6.0 a minute ago when I tested post having eaten!! I have just checked my monitor as started to wonder if it was faulty!! I sooooo wanna be seeing 4's and 5's...how long has it taken others? PLease don't say a couple of weeks after LCHF 'cause I am in a panic that I am not going to get them down low enough!!!

I added fasting to get them down after a couple of days i was in the 3s though that is the lowest i have gone and on no medication... i started in the 20s and got it down to non diabetic levels (though still high) within 2 weeks of low carbing, it wasnt good enough so was more ruthless with cutting carbs and eventually just fast. The fasting seems to have done the job as i hardly see any rise after eating and if i do my body is able to get it down into non diabetic levels within the 2 hr period. I am also able to tolerate more carbs now too... so yes i suffered at the beginning but is exactly what my body needed as tested nearly 10 times a day just to find out what was going on with me. I am now more lenient with myself as i see that my body can deal with it but dont want to reverse all the hard work i did. I have dropped several dress sizes in just 4 months so pretty pleased, i seem to have hit a plateu with the weight or it may just be because i have relaxed a little bit with my eating!

Bgl yesterday morning 5.2 today is a fasting day this morning was a 5.8 so desperately need to fast again and then really get back on the diet (i tested to see i i could cope with some crisps!!!)

Hba1c booked so really stupid of me to get tempted now.. must be close to the time of month as really hungry so need to me another batch of my low carb savory muffins.... mmmmmm
