Dieting for diabetics requires very strong disipline, having to eat steak, salad and drink red wine is a very good example of the sacrifices and compromises that one must make in order to maintain good BG values. well done.

If ever there was a brilliant quote.........Love it ; -)
 
7.5 mmol / L this morning.
5.2 mmol / L at bed time.

Bed time past 1am but, grateful to get around 8 hours sleep.

Been very busy recently - hence absence from here. Hoping to resume normal service soon - whatever normal is!

Very impressed with your total dedication. Amazing results too...well done I do low carb but not as meticulously as too low makes me lose weight and I am struggling now to keep my weight UP lol. Keep up the good work
 
holy s**t!! i bow to you sir.

All hail ye Pasha of wisdom & all, for thy word is ointment for us... All;-)
 
Wow, that is very impressive! Isn't 40g of protein too little, though, especially with all that exercise - aren't you worried you're losing muscle as well as fat?
 
So, here I am, having survived another 13 hrs shift:-/
As I said, I seem to successfully have succeeded through another "what, and how much carbs I can still have", after declaring myself a "cereal, rice, potatoes and pasta FREE zone"
I ate 3 slices of GF tapioca bread, butter, italian dry cured salami, 4 boiled eggs, a small portion of cheddar, 8 mini plum tomatoes, small portion of boiled dry cured meat and mustard, all spread throughout 3 meals. I was able to do only 4 testings, as follows:
-morning FBG 5.0
-2hrs after midday meal 6.3 accompanied by a mild headache, which might have been caused by a prolonged exposure in an area with a very low set air conditioning??
-before evening meal 5.3
-4hrs after evening meal 5.5
After all, I guess it wasn't bad at all, and given I don't add any other carbs, a daily average under 40 grams, should be still safe;-)
Any ideas, suggestions, are welcome:-D

Thank you Clive, it looks I need to start counting all calories again, at least to make myself an idea. I did for a while with My Fitness Pal, but I got tired:-/
Good advice, thanks again
 
68 mg/dl or 3.77 mmoles/l and 5.2 mmoles/l of ketones. Perfect blue sky at the moment and can still see the moon. Pretty soon the firey sun will chase the moon out of sight.
