Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

Fingers crossed for your Diana. It's hard enough losing someone so close, without an acrimonious aftermath.
 
So, this morning, 4.5, on my "dodgy" strips.

Yesterday was spent avoiding the cold and wind, but on the upside, I caught up on some domestic stuff. I also have a pesky problem with my mission control computer. Windows is repeatedly giving me a message warning of a failing hard dics. So, I've backed it up and imaged it, and I'll watch closely. Before doing the backup I researched the message to ensure it wasn't a virus, allowing some naughty hacker access to my whole hard drive when I did the backup and image. Suspicious, moi? Well, yes. I was then suspicious enough to run two separate (controlled so that the anti-virus environments didn't conflict with each other), which came back clear, then anti-malware tests, and on it went.

The result of all that was that I missed my window to prepare the evening meal I had planned, which was already a Plan B because I had run out of time for Plan A. Bonkers, bonkers, bonkers. In any case, I still had a yummy dinner, and my Plan B is now Plan A for today. Have I lost you yet? So, today I'm having The incredible Spice men's Pulled Pork, but I'm doing it in the slow cooker, rather than the oven, which means it's already been on for an hour, with several more to go until my evening meal. It's smelling delicious already.

Aside from that, I need to finish the patio cleaning, as it's not quite up to Mr Breathe's high standards yet. I feel I want to get these jobs done before he comes back because his to-do list is long enough already. It's good to keep him occupied.

Have a good day everyone.

Don't knock it. Was the toast from your flax seed bread?

5.3 this morning. And I had my follow up appointment this morning. My Dr. is very happy with my progress so far. I dropped my A1C from 7.4 down to 6.2 in 2 months. she wants to see my LDL drop when I go back in 3 months, it's a tad high.

No changes in medication, just a big pat on the back for working hard. Come a long way in these last 3 months since I first found out, long road ahead, but things are looking promising.
 
An alarming 8.3 this morning. Felt very out of sorts all day yesterday and after a 1 hour walk had to go back to bed. Unheard of for me. Slept for an hour but couldn't maintain enough focus to work for the rest of the day. Almost felt as I did before discovering LCHF. BS during the day were 7.6 on waking, 5.9 before lunch and after walk, 7.6 after lunch of cheese, cherry tomatoes and unsalted peanuts, 6.7 before dinner, 6.78 after dinner, 7.6 at bedtime

No change to diet or exercise except I too made a flax loaf at the weekend and had a few slices. Also made some fat bombs. Both these are new introductions and I have to admit I didn't enjoy either very much.
 
Hi smeneley- I'm on Forxiga, was on metformin for a week but couldn't tolerate it, and I've been doing lchf for just over 8 weeks now
 

This must be down to the stress you have been under. I hope everything resolves quickly and you can get those BS down again.
