I hope you feel more comfortable today honey... so sad that you are so laid low.... lighting a candle for you... x
Ice-cream? Real ice-cream? That would send my numbers right up...
5.9 and an end to my run of sub 5.5s. But I was very tired and didn't get up until 10:30 so maybe it's my liver at work.
Belated dinner out with Mrs S for her birthday tonight.
On the strips thing, there must be so many Codefree users on this forum, maybe we should send them a joint message to give their quality control department a kick up the backside ...
I never do the one hour test - seems a waste of strips.....may do a 3 hour if I'm worried I may still be "on the way up"
It's the 1hr that tells you how what you eat affects your blood glucose & is what is taken in by the body for energy etc within the 90 minute digestion time, after that the food should have been digested & any reading after is the glucose left in the blood & what is used to see you through till you next meal. surely.
The two hour is what you need to be working to as it is by that time your body should have dropped back to "normal" levels. Non-diabetics can have quite high bs levels at one hour but the difference is that where they drop back to normal levels by 2 hours; were we to eat the same foods our bs would still be spiked. So we need to eat the foods that don't raise our bs by more than 2 from preprandial and certainly not above the 7.8 (depending if you are working to nondiabetic levels or the figures in the chart for diabetics) most of us seem to aim for nondiabetic levels though
Well done LCHF is wonderful.
Good morning from another beautiful day in Bahrain... The common thread of high readings is very obvious when you check in every day - infections, travel, disruption to daily routine, emotional upsets and, sometimes, eating the wrong food... Should we worry so much about our morning readings - if they're not too extreme, do you think? Mine is 5.8 this morning, which is standard for me if I run around seeing to the animals before I test... the later I eat in the evening, and, it would seem, the more red wine I imbibe, keeps the levels lower - maybe around 4.4.... As long as we establish a sort of 'pattern' of decent readings, and stay generally within that 'pattern', is that good enough? Is the wild fluctuation the problem, if, indeed, problem there is? LouLou has had a terrible time recently, and Allibee, who is still suffering, bless, and their readings became very odd for a while - how much damage does it do in that couple of weeks? I sound like 20 questions, but does anyone know the answers from watching the thread here closely over a couple of years? Sorry for rambling on..
