6.9 at 6;45AM then rose to 7.1 at 12noon. Quite a lot of stress today as I think our jobs are on the line so not dropping much either.
I agree with the exercise thing, it's another balancing act. If I want to bring my levels down I now go for a one mile walk, bit of an uphill so get a little puffed, but ok. Levels plummet down. Yesterday I even managed to break into a run on the flats, first time in years, really puffing. bg didn't drop anywhere near as sharply or as much.
Best approach then is the walk as the jog really made my legs hurt today - joints. Well 17.5 stone is a lot of pressure on my joints I guess. But secretly very pleased with myself as I could never have thought I could do that 8 weeks ago. I do "feel" much better since starting lchf diet.
I'm upping the metformin slowly as well, now on 3 tabs a day hich is where it should start kicking in. A bit runny this morning!!, but okay apart from that.
Also seriously starting to think that my Beck's Blue non alcoholic beer is having an effect on my airways re cough. I hadn't touched a drop for about three days and felt clear, had to bottles last night and can feel the irritation in my airways. (Hops are supposed to be good for you as well). It may just be a coincidence and I couldn't find anything on the net, but I shall keep experimenting. (It is a great coincidence perhaps that my cough started at the same time I came off booze and started on the NABeer, and I never put the two together till the other day.)
Also sorry about rambling on
