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

Morning...sitting here freezing despite the brilliant sunshine...let the beasts out for an early morning jaunt in the garden can't close the door as they get scared so they have another ten minutes then it's back in...enjoying watching them explore get excited over leaves twigs & Harry's chew toys...it's all perfectly innocent ATM dreading it when they 'up' their game and want to bring home presents...they are on half rations so far just hungry enough to tempt them back in for a plate of food...so numbers down slightly to a 6.3 always time for more coffee.
 
You are right about the liver storing the glucose when we eat a lot of carbs. I had a fatty liver 20 years ago from all the excess carbs I was eating. Plus more than likely a fatty pancreas - although the doctors didn't check that.

When I started low carb 4 years ago the blood sugars took a while to go down - so you may be finding the same thing. It definitely wasn't instant for me.
 
5.9 this morning. Probably from too much protein yesterday evening. Had a huge portion of liver and bacon yesterday with kalettes cooked in butter It was lovely. We have not had liver and bacon for years. Will definitely be having it again but probably not such a giant portion.

Maybe a bit too much Montezuma chocolate also during the day.
 
Ah ok now I understand. I am the same. I have occasionally eaten the crispy cheesey pasta bits stuck to the dish prepped for the family and paid a high price. I also find courgetti makes a great alternative with Bolognese. I thought I would check in case there was a trick I was missing!
 
And gave hs2 the go ahead when this money (over 100 billion) could be put to so much better use! Gutted watching the flood footage on Twitter. All those poor people. And their animals.
 
What a wonderful story....
 
You are doing your very best to understand your body. You could not try any harder. You will get there.
 
5.8 today, I prefer it lower but hey ho.

Today I found out I have been blocked by the enemy on Twitter. DUK. looks like the truth is hurting. It won't stop me. It will just make me even more determined.

This next week I will be looking at starting to put together my reply to them re my complaint. Although not sending until I've done more experiments with their guidelines. This was my first test. Quite shocking! How they can encourage starchy carbs beats me!!!

Winds have died down here. We escaped carnage but other areas sadly didn't. Very sad to watch.

Hope you all have a good day. I'm decorating BILs this week. He is doing well after a bad year. He doesnt like my low carb cooking though. And tells me! I dont like it myself ;-)

It looks like you are now classified as public enemy No. 1 by DUK. You are obviously very dangerous as you are exposing the rubbish science touted by DUK.

Great that you escaped damage from the wind. Funny that your BIL has convinced himself that you don't like low carb.

To be expected Debs they obviously see you as a challenge in some respects it's a feather in your cap...foolish DUK there are more of us who will keep asking the same questions...they can't avoid us...well done keep the pressure up it's working you've rattled them...don't forget to mention you've been blocked for asking perfectly reasonable questions.

Consider it a medal Debs. So they are really not interested in helping Diabetics live well and achieve remission, makes me ask what exactly are they for?
 
They won't like me when I'm mad ;-)
My latest post (1st of many me thinks) posted on DUK Facebook page!

I see to have upset you DUK on my Twitter. You blocked me. Is it perhaps because I suggested you scrap your high starchy carb (carbs turn to sugar) low fat (loaded with sugar) advice and suggested you change it to advising people to LOWER carb intake and choose healthy fats to avoid THIS! Which the majority of those reversing type 2 do!

This was day 1 of following your type 2 eating plan. I not only didn't make it to day 2 but didn't finish day 1 (this is what 2 slices of seeded toast did and to follow it by eating a 2 slice sandwich as you suggested I felt would be very detrimental to my health, plus 5 fruits and veg spread across my day causing my insulin to be en guard constantly).

Are you trying to make us poorly! Keep us ill! You are walking prediabetics right into type 2. And type 2 to a shortened life of meds and complications.

Have you collated the results of your recent questionnaire 'how did you get into type 2 remission'? I'm sure the results will be conclusive. It won't be high carb low fat for sure! That's why you class it as progressive.

Diabetic forum members say 'avoid the current guidelines, monitor your blood sugars regularly to see which foods suit you and lower your carbs!

You have a donate button on each page. For research into how to beat it. Why dont you start by listening to us diabetics?

It appears I've been keeping the wrong company Debs...they've blocked me from their twitter account too it's getting interesting now!

Maybe the restaurant is a cover for their real business, like the laundry on The Man From U.N.C.L.E., or the laundry fronting the betting parlor in The North Avenue Irregulars.
