I am living much the same way as you - although I never had meds... a little neuropathy in my feet too, which I hate! How do you get your numbers under 6? What do you eat in the evenings? A couple of months ago I had good readings first thing, but now I am often over 6 first thing... I've tried eating 10g carbs with cheese the night before, bullet proof hot chocolate and what have you, but nothing seems to improve it... it's all happened slowly over three months - is that normal? I'm happy you threw the meds away... :)

in DEBENHAM Sales i picked up a very nice V neck sweater. I drowned in the XL (My usual size) So chose what I thought was a L size and when I got home it fitted so snug yet comfortable. Then discovered it was actually M. size I feel like a bloody 20 year old. I went out today and bought two more shirts and another medium sized sweater. If you needed motivation guys n gals its in the clothes, there's almost a Swagger in my walk which I am sure I didn't even have when I though I was the centre of the universe at 20...WOW!!

Amazing! Well done... you must have worked hard... :happy:
 
4.2 for me this morning, after eating an outrageous amount of food last night. I was having a hungry day, and as I have lost weight again (:mad: ), i decided I'd feed up. Sometimes, it just has to be done!!

The next few days are probably going to be a bit manic here, as Mr B heads back to the Tropics (with me following in a couple of weeks), so we have a fair bit of running around to do before I drop him at the airport. I can then concentrate on closing up the house and my own prep. I'm hoping I can shut one of the freezers down before I go, but that will entail some disciplined eating, and some peculiar meals, in time.

Hey ho. Life could be worse. Play nicely boys and girls. :D
 
7.3 this morning not bad. Had soup and a ham sandwich with some fruit and a soya yogurt last night for tea. Boardom sould be better today as Dad is bringing me some knitting and s friend from church is coming.
Hope everyone is doing well:-)
 
4.7 don't normally get this sort of reading unless i have imbibed.

But yesterday pre meals 2 in the 4's and after a rise of less than 2.

Hopefully this means I am doing something right, but as we all know it's a marathon not a sprint.

Happy day everyone.

Thanks @Susikav I must admit the LCmoderate Fats has worked for me. Walking and running everyday pretty consistently has helped. It didnt feel that much like hard work, it surprised me. I have never managed a diet in my life. So happy to bank that and enjoy!!
 
5.3 this morning after going to bed at 5.1 really loved seeing my preferred 5 this morning again, virus still giving me a really sore throat but feel less yuk, maybe it's come out more now?
Hope everyone is ok today?
