Not open for further replies.
Nothing over 6.4 all day. 5.4 pre tea.

Best results ever. Morning you guys
 
6.5- bedtime
6.2 - fasting

Busy day yesterday moving some very heavy furniture which became a much bigger job than intended. A bedroom, large hall and living room have been completely changed around, including moving my desk and office furniture into a new room! I skipped a meal and consumed only 850 calories according to the warning message from MyFitnessPal

Have a good weekend everyone and keep warm
 
Great result
 
A huge liver dump this morning, after waking up at 5,3 I rode the bike to the tennis club, played tennis fot an hour and rode back home before having breakfast.



Result - my glucose level shot up to 6,8. :-(

This exercise induced rises have been more of a problem since I cut down on metformin.

But at least I won the game against my coach



And it is a really glorious Saturday morning

Diana - Would you have been able to do all that physical stuff (with your RA) before adopting your new eating style? (Just wondering about the day-to-day impact as well as the medical stuff.)
 
5.5 this morning

No absolutely not! I would have been totally dependent on help. I'm amazed at how much I did and I did it entirely alone including moving a heavy oak antique desk and all my PC equipment, unplugging it and reconnecting it again (and finding it still worked!) in a different room. I smashed my hand against the doorway when moving an antique sofa through 2 doorways from one room into another and and my knuckles and ring finger are very bruised, swollen and painful today but otherwise I surprised myself with my energy levels, physical strength and ability (and colourful language!)

Can't imagine the calories I used!

Long may this continue
 

 
Arnica cream for the bruise. Best applied straight away but still helps later on. Fingers still look heavily bruised so reapplied this morning. Had to turn Lancet depth up a notch to get decent bleed to test wth cold weather. Hot water washing no longer helping
. By the way to you guys in colder climes it's a warm, balmy 1℃ after slight overnight frost
 

Same problem here, Jan. I use lashings of E45 on my hands/fingers, and that works well. I also take testing holidays from time to time, but get withdrawal symptoms so they don't last long!

6.2 today. Up slightly since dropping back to two Metformin possibly, though I was and am in lot of pain with my fibromyalgia so might be that too.
 
It was minus 7 degrees here last night. I took the dog a trot round the garden at 11pm. The grass was solid with frost, and the cars looked like igloos. No better this morning.

5.4 at bedtime
5.6 this morning.
