good morning everyone :)

4.2 on this snow covered morning.

we were going to go to the bank and out for lunch today, somehow don't think we'll bother. We both spent a lot of years having to go out very early in the morning to work in every weather so it's a happy thing not to have to now we're both retired.

Those of you who need to go out please take care.

5.1 this morning after a sweet at 3am due to hitting 4.0 and going down. Might need to take a little look at my basal rate, although was in the gym last night.

Rise from 5.1 to 6.3 in the hour after getting up with no food. FOF syndrome it seems

No snow for me, but a 7.2

And still pondering liver dumps and Metformin. So the dump means my liver's making glucose from somewhere, which could be a good thing. At least until I hit my target weight. But if my scales are accurate, I seem to be losing muscle, not fat.. And I thought the process should prefer fat over muscle. And Metformin's meant to supress liver glucose production, so if that helps or hinders fat reduction. Or maybe I should ask the doc for some slow-release Metformin to use during the sleep fasting.
