3.8 for me this morning - pretty much in the middle of my personal 3.5 - 4.5 fasting range.

It's a lovely morning here on Planet Breathe, after 36 hours of extremely blustery winds. I went out yesterday afternoon to check roofs, fences and so on, to find a huge sheet of perspex about 5mm thick against the outside of the back perimeter wall. I have absolutely no idea where that has come from, as we don't have anything perspex and our only neighbour doesn't either. Somebody, somewhere is missing that. I've propped it up to the wall, and will leave it there for a few days, then dispose of it. At our other place we have some lovely driftwood pieces which have been gifts of storms. I doubt somehow I could utilise the perspex in a similar way!

Good for security glazing:rolleyes:
 
5.5 pre breakfast, this after going to bed at 7.3 after a late dinner of chip shop fish and chips, went a little heavier on the chips than normal so happy enough with this.

Busy morning ahead tidying the garden after the high winds over the last few days, then off to Old Trafford for the footie.

Have w good day everyone.
 
Spot on 5 this morning- bedtime was 4.9 so I'm ok with that thank you!
Well, this morning was my last dose of forxiga - meds free from tomorrow morning :p
Going to be interesting few weeks seeing how it goes.....

Thank you Adrian just over six months since diagnosed so I guess I've really kicked a**e!! Obviously not changing my lchf in any way, my dn wants me to pop and see her to let her know how I'm doing at the end of the month, which means I can also pop on her scales too- and tomorrow my new exercise bike will arrive! :angelic:

Really? Wow... I always used to have it with honey and warm water every morning but stopped as I was worried about the spike...I tested today and it's less than 2 so will start taking it again now... :)

You're going to be doing an awful lot of "popping":D
I got my exercise bike just before Christmas but only tend to go on it if it's raining and I can't get out walking.

A take your pick morning.. Everything from 7.5 to 5.9!! Got up and rewashed hands and got three around 6 so I'll take that. All to pot as out at gig last night in Derby so very late drive home involving a macdonalds quarter pounder without bun and a handful of the fries.

I put two tablespoons of it into 1 oz of cheese and could not taste it as I thought the same as you....but on another forum they going on about one should not try these things when on insulin how are we going to know if things work if we do not try them I ask????

5.3 this morning after the pizza slices and miranda fizzy drink last night....even had two squares of dark chocolate....with my lemon tea

The chocolate thing - shows how important the portion size is too. I'm betting that many of us could eat chocolate in those amounts, especially between meals. I know I can (but remembering we are all different). But how many of us pre-diagnosis would only have eaten TWO squares as a treat? I've found that some main meals followed immediately by desert WILL spike me for sure. Either, by themselves, will NOT. Verified by testing with a 2 hour gap I can have both as sort-of part of same meal......
An observation rather than recommendation - still need to watch those calories too - I'm still 13 stone but not doing VLCHF
