You may not like this...take a tablespoon of coconut oil before bed. That'll fix you.

I'm hoping I do like it as I love my coconut oil, except when I do a bullet coffee, with lots of butter and coconut oil I'm on the toilet within 30 mins :(

I shall give it a try and report results after 1 week (or longer)
and thank you!

AndBreathe,

I really cant understand your attitude, although of course you are perfectly within your rights to with hold any details you wish.

I always remember when I started out with all this LCHF business, that I was very grateful to anybody who shared his/her results freely. It gave me a great sense of where I stood ,and perhaps what changes I could make to improve my situation.

We here are a mixed bunch, some old hands with great knowledge, and quite a lot of new comers desperate to get a handle on the new challenges that lie ahead of them after their diagnosis. Surely they learn or benefit from many of the posts and the details that members freely share.

I know that I feel great if somebody can even a tiny bit benefit from any help that I can offer, thats why I include details of results, to illustrate or prevent ambiguity.

We are after all just pixels on a screen, what can be so personal that it cannot be shared here.

I write this because once, I asked you what you ate to get your good results, you said it was too personal to post. Thats OK its your right, but I just wanted to tell you that I find your way a bit negative .

To be honest, you completely miss the point. The facts are that if I eat X amount of carb a day and achieve Y result, that's completely personal to me, my metabolism, my lifestyle, exercise, climate and even the day. Someone else replicating the testing exercise is almost certain to return different results, because they're them, and not me. I offered you the insight that, for me, reducing my carb consumption into the very low carb brackets didn't suit me, and my numbers didn't react in a way I expected. Actually, I had hoped you might merely find it interesting someone else had experienced something broadly similar (although not 14gr for me) to your own experience. The minutiae is too personal to be relevant to you, as we are highly unlikely to be unconsciously mirroring each other.

I have stopped posting my numbers on the fasting thread these days as I am no longer on the Diabetic Register, and it could be considered disingenuous for a non-diabetic to post on there, bearing in mind the thread specifies it is a T2 thread, and it is hosted in the T2 section of the forum. Mentally, I still treat my diet and lifestyle as if I were diabetic, in terms of continuing to eat a carb controlled diet, and exercising etc, but officially, I appear to have been successful in putting the condition into abeyance.

When I was recording my numbers, on the fasting thread, more than once I received opprobrium for posting very low numbers. Some posters feel my numbers are unnaturally low, and some even suggest I must be on starvation rations to maintain as I do. Trust me, I eat plenty, and indeed more than my OH, and he has a hearty appetite. We live very active lives, and eat extremely well, but healthily in the terms we understand in this community. My personal fasting range is 3.5 - 4.5, almost irrespective of what I do these days. I would actually have to try to drive my scores up, if I went along with even some posters on the main forum, and I’m not entirely sure how successful I would be, to be honest. In terms of my diet, it is fresh foods, reduced carbs, with enough fat to satisfy any hunger pangs. I exercise daily and carry no weight. Any insulin resistance I was suffering at diagnosis appears to have significantly improved.

In terms of my giving, or otherwise, to the forum, I feel I have given of myself and offered decent and honest support to many members, in various contexts. I have often-times written long and detailed responses to queries, and where I think it offers material benefit, I will divulge information about myself, but I don’t choose to live my life on the internet, and I don’t choose to disclose many personal details. I find it somewhat ironic these comments coming from someone whose profile is hidden and has no signature.


But, I’m not here to cause hassle or be worked up by “….. just pixels on a screen …”. The current proliferation of sock puppets, trolls and flamers take care of that quite well enough.


Good night.

That's a bit harsh don't you think @Pasha ? ... and dare I say uncharacteristic to some degree @AndBreathe spends a good deal of time on here with advice and encouragement, much of which I've taken on board, and in part, I thank her (amongst others) for the inspiration she's provided to me. If low numbers work for her (together with her carbs) then great! They don't for me but then again, I wouldn't expect my controls would work for many others either.

I read between the lines (A LOT) and get her messages. Put it this way ..... there is no way on earth I would put in the time to post the enormous content AB has to the benefit she offers to others on the forum .... and I thank her for what she does.

Mike :)
 
6.2 this morning.... I have started antibiotics for the sinuses, so maybe it will come down again...
 
Day50 ND 4.4 added avocado half and 20g mixed Macadamia and pecan nuts after dinner. Out raking leaves in sunny morning again - where are they all coming from?
 
Another 4.8 this morning.
As I said yesterday, I'm slowly increasing what I eat and had 30g of carbs. 4 months ago that would have given me double that fasting BG so it may be that my insulin resistance has improved. More testing needed before I jump to conclusions, though :)
 
5.6
Lot of leaves here too.
Not good for the nesting birds.
The environment is in trouble me thinks.
 
6.3 mmol / L this morning.
5.8 mmol / L at bed time.

Quite good considering bed time was past 1am & I had less than 5 hours sleep - where I woke up and had a weird panicky moment that took a while to pass before I could return to the land of nod!
