@Keesha Thanks for those kind words I feel a bit better about myself now was doubting just what I had learned! Just tested after 90 minute hike with dogs and 20 hours fasted - 5.4. Longer/harder walks usually raise my bg for some time so all good IF probably does work for me I just need to deal with the rise in bg to lunch.Please do not stop advising us. Thank you.
Hello guys, I’d like to be a regular part of this thread pls. My mornings are bad and I’ve only been testing for 4 days now. It was 12.3 today. I’ve read beach a bit but can someone help me please? Will exercise lowered or raise my bg? Will stress raise it- what can I do about the stress at work? I will probably go on a lchf or something like it eventually. Is bg a thing that is instant or lowered over time? Thanks people x
Morning all. Yesterday’s action worked - a much more respectable round 5.0 this morning.
I’ve always had a rise between my waking BG and the second reading of the day, whether that be pre breakfast or pre ‘where breakfast would be’. The third reading of the day (post breakfast or post where breakfast would have been) is then lower.
The rises have got smaller - and just occasionally there are drops - but since I introduced regular IF, overall levels have gone down and each individual reading has gradually declined, so I think it’s a long game.
Seeing red here too and not just in the sky. The madam has excelled and I'm worried 8.6. Your team are doing extremely well5.3 at 5.20 this morning. Lovely red sky over fields and way into the distance. FBG in some sort of order but it is still not keen on the new corporate rebranding. Other departments much more compliant but unable to dismiss team leaders of night time and and morning crews. Much better candidates available on these boards just not able to make free trade agreements with them. Must take back control!
@SZB2357 Great fasting level. Re Metformin, I don't think that is how it works especially, more a long term helper than sudden impact is how I see it. Other people's views may be better informed.4.9 this morning. It must be the 500 x 3 per day dose of metformin working. However 2 hours after meals still fluctuate to higher numbers at times depending on carb intake. Will metformin never effect post meal numbers?
@SZB2357 Presumptuous I know but looking at your location here goes. I see Metformin as a test match batsman - Ahzar now or Hanif from long ago - not a one day batsman - Afridi. Does that help?@SZB2357 Great fasting level. Re Metformin, I don't think that is how it works especially, more a long term helper than sudden impact is how I see it.

Don't over analyse too much, diabetes is unrelenting and unforgiving, you are just matching or exceeding this adversary, it will not rest, so while you are enthusiastic why not go for; there may be a time when you get diabetes fatigue, so strike while the iron is hot. Besides as a fellow Spurs fan you can do no wrong in my eyes.@Glenmac A very thoughtful and sensible post so thank you very much. You are so right about different rates of progress. I also think there is a danger of "letting my diabetes define me" - doing things which I would have considered bat *hit crazy before diagnosis just because I have read or heard it helps lower bg levels for others. Common sense can go out the window in pursuit of ever lower numbers and rather than eating to my meter I may be guilty of living to my meter.
Well, it is Lent so some reflection and new life would be in order!
@Mbaker Thanks for such encouraging and sensible words - confirms everything we both know about the intelligence and empathy of Spurs fans. Just a pity @Goonergal is so wise and generally a good egg - totally spoils all my preconceptions and baseless prejudices! Bah humbugDon't over analyse too much, diabetes is unrelenting and unforgiving, you are just matching or exceeding this adversary, i.
