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


Haha. For the letter joke.

As for me.
Depending on your needs,
I have been using open office for many years.
Save as ms97.. And everyone can open as normal
I also got into Google docs. Syncs well with gdrive.
And for email... Nothing easier then Gmail.

I knew nothing of computers until 1990's.. Work switched over, so I bought a cheap one and taught myself.. pc for dummies.. Great book.

Then I discovered the world of FREE stuff.
And never looked back.

Can't Believe so many people pay for stuff that isn't premium and can be got for free

And if you're so inclined get a brand new computer system, by going Linux.. Mint was my favourite..... Then EVERYTHINGS FREE..
 

More hugs for the inexplicable FBG, you’re doing brilliantly sticking with it though. Hard not to get despondent sometimes I know. Mine will probably start going up again soon as yours come down - we can wave at each other as we pass!
Re Dennis and Barbour coat - funny you should mention that, we do have one still from our old terrier Tilly. She always looked so proud wearing it! ( that’s what we thought anyway!) I’m Hoping Dennis will fit it eventually. At the moment I don’t know how much more growing he’ll do so I can’t get him a new one - he’s already grown out of 3 harnesses!
Good luck with today’s lunch, hope you can get something low carb.
 
Morning...another very late night to bed at 3am...I must get myself back in a routine...the sun is out (it was yesterday then hammered down) a great breeze...I need to get some food shopping I think I'm eating too much protein so need some variety...I did go to the supermarket on Friday...exited the car & realised I'd left my debit cards at home...came back empty handed & peed off...more coffee then off to hunt in the aisles...woke to a 6.6
 
Thanks for the hugs. I really dont know what else to do and am trying not to get stressed. I am hopeless if I’m hungry so am sticking with 2 small meals and the most sensible amount of safe dinner and am hoping it will sort itself out. The only thing it is making me reach for a G&ST a bit more I think Barber dog coats that are worn in are great. Hopefully Dennis will grow into it in time for winter.
 

And you are a great guy. Your community sounds lovely.

A lovely illustration and sentiment. But as an artist I have always had this philosophy.

Look back the view is always different and inspiring also applies to life.

Strangely I used the slogan on a card I used for some keen walking friends. Attached.

As promised my breakfast BS. The new findings of Dracula

Date.
14 Aug. Before 5.7 After 7.4 18 carbs grams with 3 Rivita the 7.4 is unusual
15 Aug. Before 5.3 After 6.0 5 carbs grams
16 Aug. Before 5.5 After 7.3 7 carbs grams my cold OR the biscuit I had at 20.30 last night)
17 Aug. Before 5.6 After 6.2 2 carbs grams
18 Aug Before 5.7 After 6.1 <2 carbs grams
19 Aug. Before 5.7 After 6.3 10 carbs grams

So conclusion, carbs or no carbs in the morning so far have not shown much difference in BS, no more posting results but I will keep monitoring.

After my 2.5 hour bike ride today BS was 5.8

A belated morning to you all, I have a late start at work as working late, good news! I didn't have to go on "The Road to Hell" or you may want to call it IKEA, at the weekend!! The better half decided she didn't want to go, something about a bearded fat man whining all the way round, and threating to "run over the next person who bumps into me" or words to that effect. Any way the meter of doom sat and threw a 4.9 at me, faster than a ball from Archer, but I managed to get out of the way (unlike Smith) and exited the building toot sweet! I will take that reading as had high readings all weekend (probably something about trying to relive my yoof, ie having a small drink) so enjoy your Monday everyone.
 

I'm hopeless when hungry too.









@ianpspurs -- HELLO OUT THERE! We miss you!

Whoops sorry, "you really got my mojo working" so "baby please don't go" we could try something by the great EP as "you ain't nothing but a hound dog"
 
@jjraak what a great track that is, timeless. Just listened looking out the window at the rain! Thanks so much.

I noticed the same thing, but with the Libre I see when my fbs is higher it’s usually DP starting a bit earlier then the climb from breakfast isn’t as much. Breakfast and DP combined make the spike pretty high.

Thank you - that's very helpful and makes perfect sense. It explains something that I have been puzzling over for ages.
 

Hi @DJC3

Yes I am eating all my food in a morning. I start eating about 9am. I usually finish eating about 12 (sometimes up to 1pm depends how my day pans out).

I usually eat within a 3 hour window (but sometimes within a 4 hour window, again depending on how my day pans out).
Consequently that means I am fasting 20 to 21 hours a day, every day.

Occasionally I may eat something early afternoon, but that is to suit meeting someone. And it really doesn’t agree with me and knocks me off kilter the rest of the day.

Thank you very much!


A bit more added at 13:55pm:
I have been losing weight doing this.
A few weeks ago I was just over 120kg.
This morning I was 113.9 kg.
I hope I am not banjaxing my lucky streak by sharing. I was going to keep it to myself. But I am a bit proud of myself.
Also I am trying to keep my carbs to under 25, or even 10. But it’s when I meet someone for a meal, it gets a bit tricky to keep to that, but on the whole I succeed.

Hi @PenguinMum and @SaskiaKC I am about, reading posts and giving ratings but not posting for a while. Attending to other health issues which I won't bore y'all with but they are quite disruptive so routine has somewhat gone by the board. Thanks for the tags and I really appreciate it. Also must give a special mention and huge thanks to @DJC3 who pm'd me - what a very special lady you are.
