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

Yes lots of times it doesn't seem to make any sense .
 
I gave a winner for your openness in sharing your experience of the effects you experience with LCHF diets. I'm also throwing a hug your way for support with the constant battle to try to overcome and succeed.
Thanks for the support (tempted to say I'll always wear it). What I think I want to convey is an agreement with LC as the approach to management of diabetes as the most likely to be helpful. I also want to say the results and enjoyment are highly individual and massively affected by comorbidities and a host of unknown factors. I fear my weakness with language may not always do those aims justice.

Great news from the Dr. The pondering will get you nowhere, I suspect, but it will keep you warm and occupied on a winter's night. Best stock up on Talisker? and ponder away.

Hi have can you give me the recipe for the keto cheese scones or point me in the right direction
 
Very late night - uncooperative lower back being as unreasonable as a thicket of MP’s attempting to agree on something using the medium of mime. Bonus prize of loads of steps on my FitBit - how lucky is that.

The wonder wheel of late night film watching while pacing round the house gave a multi-tasking 5.1 this am. Interesting as dinner - I say dinner, more fast food for busy people on the move - was a chicken sandwich made with a couple of slices of Livlife bread that someone had kindly brought for me to try.

Have a great day if you can walks down the prom are on the cards this morning.
 
hugs for the back pain x
 

Party
Good idea
I’ll pop around with some booze
 
love the picture @johnpol made me chuckle
 
5.8 this morning after a rubbish night’s sleep. Howling wind outside kept me awake but I daren’t put earplugs in as I was on school run this morning so had to be up by 6. I was frightened I wouldn’t hear the alarm.
@johnpol your photo with Sidekick Sid is brilliant, it did make me laugh.
 
' morning all. 7.9 greeted me at 8.30am. Had my HbA1c results back and was expecting 'to have increased following the last few turbulant weeks of stress/ eating as & when etc. Went to the surgery prepared to argue my case against increased medication only to find it has gone down slightly with the report " Excellent progress. Only 1 above ideal. Continue with same lifestyle. Repeat in 6 months." I think she said it was 51? Not sure about that as I thought the recommended level for Type 2 was lower than that. Anyway I'm hoping to get back to more "normal" LC eating habits from now on--if life will allow. Enjoy the rest of your week folks and make the most of today's sunshine!
 
@mojo37 and @HarryBeau the recipe is for Savoury Cheese Scones on iwdu.co.uk and they are really good. The recipe makes 4 large scones (3g carbs) so you have the option to get 6 smaller ones. I sometimes put in a bit more cheddar than they suggest! They freeze well too.
 
Help couldn't find it with the just initials PM...it took me to a WWE wrestler called Icewind… no photos of him mind shame
