You're not alone my Friend!
One thing I've learned in all my years of seemingly never ending struggle, if life throws something at you, throw it back :-/
How You're supposed to do that? I don't really know, I'm just doing it, starting with those I cannot rely on ;-)
As for being tough enough, you're still here, aren't You, Sir? :-D

When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

I use the husks never tried the powder it works for as I struggled after I reduced my fruit to one apple a day

Just a sidetrack question, please:
Does anyone know a source within the UK for psyllium husks, not the tableted ones, but plain, to be used for food thickening, etc.?
H&B doesn't seem to have it anymore...
Thanks in advance,
Moshe

I got capsules from Amazon....

Good morning all. I had a fasting BG reading of 6.1 this morning after a 5.6 reading at bedtime last night.

I hope all the people who are feeling a bit poorly feel better soon.

Sorry typo yogurt!

I've just done my first 24 hours of testing - got my meter yesterday. But there will be a gap before I can carry on - stupidly, I assumed the meter would come with a good supply of lancets, etc! Still, at least I've learnt how to test myself.

I'd like feedback on the 24 hours of results, though, not just this morning's 9.0.

after breakfast 6.5
before lunch 7.7 (had had an apple as a snack mid-morning)
2 hours after lunch 5.5 (had been walking for an hour)
before evening meal 5.8
2 hours after evening meal 6.0
before bed 7.5 (had had plain yoghurt for supper)
then this morning when I got up it was 9.0.

I don't understand - is this 'normal'? After that range of scores yesterday, I was expecting something similar.

5.1 today

Gezzabelle · Jul 23, 2015

Alzebra · Jul 23, 2015

That's fantastic @Alzebra. Very well done. You're right to be chuffed with yourself coz it's obviously all down to your own hard work. Delighted for you. X

I'm afraid I've dropped out of this thread.
Consistently 4's and 5's with a reare blip above means there's not much point in keep testing really.
