My plan today patsy is to try making that cake for the first time too! I'm going to work out the total carbs first though so I can be sure that a portion will keep within my daily quota!! ( ever pedantic me!!)

Just have a thinner slice!
 
5.4 for me today another Saturday at home, still feels strange after 20 months of working part or all weekend! Have halted the "dating game", bit of a shame but there you go! I am going out tonight though with an old work mate and my cousin, late night on the town like we used to until a couple of years ago, New outfit all ready too (could be a new date on the horizon- always onwards and upwards with me!)

Vodka is my drink too cold ethyl- though as I discovered last Saturday afternoon watching the band, it affects me a lot quicker than pre-low carb, so won't be going too overboard!! There is no actual hot date planned tonight......ever positive me just summising that there could be if anyone of interest crops up tonight!!

Hello All,

Hope you are all well and fitting fit. :D

I have seen the thread in fasting blood glucose, but was wondering what they are for only Type 2's.

Mine are between 4.5 and 6.0 depending on what I have eaten / drunk the night before.

Cheers

look like early days but you r doin well
 
I don't drink now- haven't really since I was 23 so that's 25 yrs- occasionally had a shandy pre diagnosis or a tiny vodka, lime and soda- I used to find booze makes me overeat and that's the one thing I am trying to avoid these days as it means more peddling on the numb bum machine.

Do you know. There is always someone you don't expect to meet at the strangest times?...its an exciting time. So just go with the flow. But more importantly just enjoy it all. I've made wonderful friends along the way...not perhaps romantic but lovely people who are still friends. Then bang! You meet someone when you least expect it :)
 
4.1 pre breakfast, not getting excited about it had one of our family gatherings yesterday evening, food excellent low carb for me and everyone, but much much vodka hence low reading. But no complaints it goes on chart with a V against it lol.

Speak later people keep well.

Just made and tried a slice, trying to load a photo but can't from my kindle at the moment! Using the recipe on here took 25gm coconut flour which works out at 5gm carbs, about 1gm for cocoa, eggs, butter, baking powder no carbs......?? It made enough for two portions (one for tomorrow!)Topped mine with a few raspberries and some double cream, while still warm- divine!!:)
 
Took a month's rest from testing but started up again last Friday. Fasting levels regularly high 4s so looks like my levels have taken a little drop. I think the effects of weight loss are kicking in. I've also had a few readings in the 3s. Not really happy about that but I always have a few raisins to hand so no problem.
 
6.3 this morning, I lashed out last night for the first time since diagnosis and drank a very good bottle of savingnon blanc from New Zealand. Slept very well and did not get up until 9.30am.
