Still can't seem to get over the pain in my sides during the day but I guess that's the LCHF changes.

That does not sound right Mike. I have heard of people getting flue like symptoms when drastically reducing carb intake but not actual pain.

I wonder if anyone else had a similar experience. Otherwise you may need to take this up with your doctor.

Yep, I still use tissues a few times a day (nothing drastic) but it's like a (light) permanent cold. As for the pain, it cuts down (just like it did right now) after I do some rigorous walking for ten minutes.

I do not have a good chair at home and spend a good deal of time sitting down which I should not do. Having given up work, I need to find something else to do that keeps me upright and moving. This is similar to the pain that I had that I had when first diagnosed but before I decided to really lose weight.

Might be time to cut out the alcohol altogether as that's the only factor I can figure into the issue?

Best Mike
 
5.2 this morning, where did that come from? I was 4.3 last night after getting back in the gym for the first time for 4 weeks now that my shingles has cleared up.

6.1 with good exercise. 'Bout to eat a good evening meal and then hit the road (again) and after last nite's success, crossing the fingers
 
5.3......just had breakfast and soon be on my to to the station, flying visit to Nottingham to collect a very special present for my daughter, the things I do!!
 
7.5. Grrrr!
Wonderful day in London yesterday and walked miles. The poppies at the Tower of London are amazing and well worth the visit - even in the pouring rain Kept bs in the 5;s all day until I succumbed to a cheese ploughman's sandwich in the train coming home and shot up to 9.6! Never again.

Lesson learned

Congrats pavlos on your results really happy for you. It called for a glass of wine anyways
 
Last night it was10.3 2hours after evening meal 6.5 this morning 7.3 is it normal to drop that much after a meal?

Such a large drop after a meal seems unlikely. Probably one or the other of your readings was inaccurate.
 
5.5 Fasting
7.1 before breakfast....

Was really pleased with the 5.5 this morning as I had a terrible night - after my two 15min walks yesterday I went to bed with a bad back and knees...the pain kept waking me up... but luckily it doesn't seem to have affect the bloods too much and my pre-breakfast reading is better than normal. Unfortunately I had a naughty breakfast in terms of calories.. I had 2 x 98% meet sausages and a flax 9bar!! but at least an indulgence breakfast and lightened my mood.
 
4.1 pre breakfast (vodka last night) had a crumpet for breakfast because car in for service and a brisk walk to work, 2 hours later 5.6 happy enough with that.

Have a good day all
 
4.6 on getting up today.
(My wife had a tooth out yesterday, she couldn't sleep last night, and felt the need to share the problem with me all night)

3.8 before going out for my annual blood tests 2 hours later though, so I'm expecting a good report when I go back for my annual check up
Fasting test.

(well, I'll get the results this week, but the first appointment they have to review them is December, they are very pro-active, and don't let anyone get away if they can help it)
