] I'm aiming to be a 4 one day
@ziggy_w I would never have doubted your good sense in drinking sensibly for one minute. Difficult to gauge reaction or tone via internet but I sense a little pain in that comment. If so copious apologies for any hurt. If not I am a male so emotional intelligence missed out of manufacture.@SueJB and @ianpspurs -- Usually, I never drink more than two glasses (normally less than this unless we go out) -- thus, loads for me would be be anything in excess of this.
No mate. The Russians have hacked your meters so be very wary of door handles.Some strange mirroring going on, the meters are in collusion, and soon they will dominate our waking moments, then before we know it they will take over the world I tell you.

@ziggy_w I would suggest if not all of us then most of us are here because we strayed from the path of righteousness. It ill behoves any of us to come over all moat and beam like. You are doing fine now and will continue on wiser/different. Also, everyone should remember that in the words of a song I love to exercise to "your body is a wonderland" Please everyone don't take that as a spooky old man being naff! Edit: just listened again and I now fear coming over as all Swiss Tony when the chorus is my target/earwormYou are correct -- there is a certain amount of regret. Where are the times when we could eat and drink, without having to think about it?
Morning,
BG glee for madam and me
Two days in a row another five, a high 5..................... 5.8 but at least she's being consistent. The culprit was a far too gluggable Provence rose. I blame the sunshine but my spirit is lifted.
Today I have the hospital diabetic clinic which should be interesting. If you would like to hear how I got on you will have to bribe me wif koffy.
@geefull I am glad my post was appreciated and enjoy the gardening. In terms of "keeping a lid on it" I am looking for testimonials/accounts of people following your kind of path successfully for 20+ years.. We should name it the geeful pathway, so much more optimistic than the other well known pathway!thank you @ianpspurs for those kind words, I know I have to try to keep a lid on this for as long as I can so I try making it as enjoyable and varied as possible
5.8 yesterday and 6 today. Had breakfast late at 10 - so wanted to see how much of a liver dump I would get before eating - it rose to 6.7 then dropped to 5.8 within a couple of hours - that is better than other dumps, where it kept rising into the 7s.
Have a good Monday everyone!
I know how you feel - I find it hard to watch it rise - especially as it may affect my next HbA1c - it's so unpredictable though - who knows what will happen tomorrow? What I'd love is to know which part of me needs 'fixing' the most - is it too much fat in the liver or an exhausted pancreas which means I see a liver dump. An vice versa - when not so much of a dump does it mean liver is pumping out less sugar or my pancreas/insulin resistance is improving? It's all such a mystery!That’s pretty good going then! Your liver must be exhausting it’s stores.
I try doing this sometimes but panic once it starts rising in the 7s. You’ve given me a bit of hope though and I’ll try again soon.
@eggs11 I totally agree, I find this a real problem as well. I just tested in lieu of breakfast and was @5.4 then checked and rose to 5.7. The no breakfast reading averages almost 1 higher than last reading of the day. At the moment my solution is to exercise moderately after drinking tea but I will try cider vinegar in water. Today I have just eaten kale chips and small piece of cheese because I was not happy with that rise and did not feel great to exercise soon after waking. I think I will alternate between continuing IF with moderate cardio and very low carb breakfast depending on how I feel. This rise and impact on my HbA1c is not something up with which I am prepared to just put! Inch by inch, marginal gains, law of small numbers etcI know how you feel - I find it hard to watch it rise - especially as it may affect my next HbA1c - !
I'm only as old as my shoe size @alf_Josiah so that's 4Sorry, no offence meant neighbour but are you talking age and or IQ ? I can heartily recommend 3rd childhood here. Mrs J says I'm worse than the 3 grandchildren aged 2, 5 and 7
