What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)


Yes, I looked it up. I’m a little perplexed but will continue to read and balance it somewhere. I’d struggle with the milk issue... I’m a huge tea fan ..
 
Hi there @Bubbsie and @MisplacedIdentity . We are all playing a long game. I can't see "fasting" (beyond overnight) as a winning tactic. It would most likely make me say "Stuff It!" and head to the local shop for beer and Cornish pasties.
I think it is very much horses for courses to be honest @True Blue. Personally, fasting for 1 or 2 days is far easier and more enjoyable than either faffing about analysing meals or eating some of the meals that ketoheads would foist on me.

Exactamundo.

it's a guide not the TEN Commandments.

there will be NO smoting of disbelievers.

We all must find our own path by listening to others AND our bodies as they sigh blissfully or complain bitterly.
at each step of the journey.

For me the fasting trail is yonder, shaded and dark.

but who knows, maybe i'll get brave and cut a trail through the dense undergrowth soon
and find myself in the clearing ahead, and have my day basking in the sunshine, alongside so many others.

but until then.... "Pegan..wagons roll... "
 
Never too late for humor, you did better than me though I was trying to imagine what Pagans eat.

haha..i do have a cheeky answer, but not for here..loL

and it maybe i'm just an old school petrol head..but
everytime you post, i'm now looking for the VAUXHALL wording underneath..

yes, i know i'm being cavalier..sorry

I'm back to a tiny snack right before bedtime TB (stopped that to see how things went)...last night had a small disc of chocolate en route to bed as I used to do...roughly about the size of 50p piece...somehow that seems to work better for me...my FBG is in essence not my main priority but it can get me off to a good start

Up finally ..feel very unrested,, but off today, so handy but still much to do.

meeting friends on sunday god willing in newbury
so bike to clean and some prep..( less hells angels more hairy bikers
but good crowd either way. )

Cramp now gone...TF...( thanks Fred..god of cramps )

Checking in my FBG wardrobe and my bloods have decided to wear one of my personal favourites
a slinky, two piece number, understated yet still rather sexy 5.6,..so i'm quietly pleased with its choice.

2 x 6.plus , 3 x 5.plus and one x 4.plus :***:, yesterday so i think your right @PenguinMum
holiday lag, and it's starting to come down slowly.

best wishes for today, thoughts with you for good news.

@JohnEGreen
liked the post re friends attitude,
dreadful what it costs these days..(Note to self: attend to similar soon)
and hugs for the day.
hope it's an enjoyable afternoon despite the news.

@PatsyB ..best wishes the foot doesn't impact too much today
@OrsonKartt ..sounds like a great meal..and info appreciated.

@Goacher55 ..hahaha..but what anice way round to get the mix up..at least you got the company of @PenguinMum...

@MisplacedIdentity ..as said food can lower bg's as well..weird huh.

and finally thank you to all for the hugs and advice..much appreciated.
.
and @gennepher thanks for that.. strangely..(blush) i had indian tonic water last night..
it looked lonely so i introduced it to Mr Vodka..seemed to get on swimmingly..

so i don't think that helps me, sadly.

@zauberflote ..i do have some imperial leather i think..may try..whats to lose,
but i think the old mag tablets and spray are the most likely ways forward.

did think i'd drank enough fluids yesterday..tea-a-holic these days, but maybe not enough water.
.mmhh will montor better today/tonight.

Good day all, looks nice out here in the sunny capital so far
but weather warning of high winds today and sat..
so if in town do take care.

Me too.... I went over to having lemon in my tea rather than milk , now a couple of years later I have it black.
 
Having had a reasonable start with my FBG I can feel it rising by the second...I was in London on Wednesday previously hadn't been there since the 15th of March...yet my Congestion Charge (CC) statement shows I have been charged for three entries this month...called their direct line for CC...it is closed now waiting in the complaint line...surprise it's surprisingly busy...not fudging surprised...BG still at 5.9 expected to rise
 
Glad you are enjoying my holiday feel free to book ahead for my next one. A cruise around the med in August I'm hoping for lots of laughs along the way. We start in Rome. Fancy it?
 
I found someone who likes to talk as much as me ;-) can you imagine us on a night out together!!! Haha. I love it! As for guardian newspaper, well I've no idea, I've lost track myself !!!
 
Chat away, we love that in this thread
 
If you eat pork
you cant go wrong here.
I used to love roast pork Orson...we used to buy it at the the Ginger Pig butchers in Borough Market...that was of course before Borough Market became Uber trendy (we could afford it then)...however an unfortunate incident with a joint we bought that had the nipples still attached put me right off it...are we allowed to mention Nipples here?...if not apologies in advance
 
6.8. I'm over the moon. I'm on my jolies and expected much worse. For one I'm on a half board basis. So breakfast and dinner in hotel. Trying to make good choices. But not everything labelled and what is labelled can be ambiguous for example the omelette I chose was actually a Spanish omelette and included potato, which I didnt realise until I had demolished the lot funnily enough ;-). It was only a smallish square as it happens. A taster in my book. As much of this buffet food is. I'm glad I'm only here for 1 week to be honest (she lied).

Decided to eat out last night so I could just get naked. By that I mean I fancied a burger. I always ask for a naked burger. No bun. This should be fun I thought to myself. I hope it doesnt get lost in translation. I might end up arrested! I want to see everything Corralejo has to offer but the inside of the local jail wasn't in my plans!

As luck would have it the restaurant we fancied the look of and that had brilliant TripAdvisor reviews didnt have burgers on the menu. Only discovered after we had sat down, ordered wine and water and had made ourselves at home! So no awkward moments ordering king prawns in chili sauce (checked with chef, no added sugar) and a big juicy steak with salad. Sadly it came with dauphinoise potatoes slapped on the side. I cant win! Noisy little blighters they were. Shouting 'eat me eat me!!!'. Persuasive too. I had 2 spoons to keep them happy!

Just a quick post today as it's our last day and going to make the most of it. Lots of walking. Managing to get lots if steps in over here. Love a nice long walk. Especially when there are such lovely views!!

Have a good day everyone.
