Morning all. I am 6.4 today. The best its been for over a month. Odd really cos we are really stressed at the old ladys home. My oh was made redundant (again) last week. This is the 4th time in the last few years, but the older we get the harder it gets to find work.
2018 has not been good to us so far.:(

good morning all :)

4.6 today

hmmf, It's not so easy tweaking my diet for maintainance, I managed to put on half a kilo this week :( , at least my fasting bg average stayed fairly similar to the last couple of weeks. Had a good walk yesterday with mum's little dog though :)

All in all it's a work in progress ;)
Hi @geefull know what your up against I keep trying different things a a few extra carbs has I'm happy with my weight but they just seem to spike my BG it's trial and error, may take a look at diet doctor or the Akins maintenance diet. Good luck! K

Good morning everyone
Not much time to do my BG
Around 6.30 this morning it was 6.7
Been out to vets with one of our dogs for 8.30 then onto doctors to let them know I'm in hospital on 15/2/18 then another longish car drive to pickup an online order later. It's mad today,think I'll get myself something to eat first and a drink coffee, will see you all later on! K

Bit too low for me but good luck! K
I know I feel fine at 3.1 and have seen a liver dump kick in at this level. I think my natural non-exercise level is around 4.4 for FBG, but I do get a really good GLUT4 uptake of glucose with heavy weights.
