What about a green smoothie with some whey protein in it?
Sorry, don't think I could. But I do appric

I know this doesn't help as its miles from Hanley.
I use Asda pharmacy, I can not praise them enough. All the staff are excellent !!!
One time they didn't have the tablets that my husband had been prescribed, they apologised, and then phoned all the chemists in the local area, no one had them, they then ordered them and phoned me to say they had arrived.
 
Well done John... Excellent results. I love it when you see someone's hard work paying off.
 
How are your readings now on the new tub BT
@aylalke is on 44 I think from previous post

They seem OK on this new batch. So far so good. Just the odd outlier, but so ridiculous I know it's the strip and not me, so a couple of re-tests sort it. However, I do think the Codefree in general reads higher than my Accu Chek (loads of examples), but who is to say which is the correct one? I'd rather have too high than too low.
 
Excellent result John! Hope you ARE having a dance around!! You certainly deserve it
 
Oh I did. I had steak and salad just like I said,I also may have had a small spoonful of cheesecake, well maybe more of a desert spoonful. Ok maybe more than one......alright it was a full portion with strawberries, double cream and a raspberry coule. You would have hated it.
 

It all goes to show how different we all are. I would have declined any desserts and gone for a steak and chips with battered onion rings and peas!
 
Had the results of my fasting test.
Bloods average 5.5.
Great news.
Cholesterol 5.6 overall which is the British average.
Doc says have to aim lower cos a diabetic isn't average good result though as it was 7 last time.
Good Chol is 1.5 which I'm told is very good but up my olive oil a little and oily fish.
Blood pressure down so less medication for that too.
She was a happier about my LCHF lifestyle now she can see the results.
All in all good all round result.
Didn't quite get it all though as there was a dog barking in the waiting room.
Doc looked at me and said .... is that a dog I can hear?
I think so.
We tried to continue while a commotion of some kind was going on in the waiting room.
 
That all sounds very positive @JACKTHELAD Excellent Hba1c and lipids all look fine to me. What were your triglycerides? They are the important little beggars. Dog? Are you sure you were at the doctor's and not the vet?
 
Didn't find out what the commotion was but maybe some old dear thought the doc could sort her dog out or such.
I did get told what the triglycerides were but can't remember!
 
Drained, mild headache still,. was dazed most of the morning and early afternoon. They offered to keep me in all day but when I saw the doc I said I wanted to go as soon as my BGs improved. Off to bed now, thanks all.
Hope you have a better night Eddie. Keep well.
