Wow 2 years - 10/10 for perseverance, remembering this will help me in my impatient quest for lower numbers.
Thanks @DJC3 not at all surprised that your father was sophisticated - the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree@ianpspurs no, G&T is not too girlie. It’s a sophisticated man’s drink so suits you very well!
My dad used to drink it and he wasn’t in the slightest bit girlie. He also drank an awful lot of champagne and very good reds and lived to a ripe old age. Enjoy your G&T in the sunshine, nothing better.
Thanks @DJC3 not at all surprised that your father was sophisticated - the apple doesn't fall very far from the treeI decided to rest this morning and bg went to an alarming 5.7 where breakfast might have been - not going that route again! My fault as I put in a season's best dog walk time last night and failed to do a proper recovery. Anyone here use foam rollers and the like? Ersatz ice baths might have to be back on the menu I feel.
I tend to use the shower @DJC3 - my first indulgent toy on retiring (remote control so I can switch it on from bed also brilliant temperature control; very funny turning it on when visitors use that loo!An ice bath sounds quite tempting in this heat. Don’t forget to save a couple of lumps for your G@T later though.

@DJC3 I think it was lack of exercise. Hopefully a thing called the Randle cycle. If I am right the keto body wants to use fat but the body pumps out glucose for the brain. Muscles want nothing to do with the glucose but until it is burned up it registers in bg. Them's my onions anyhow!Are you saying it was the lack of exercise or lack of breakfast you think caused it?
I’d be really happy with that figure, but I know it’s high for you.
Thank you but I have had my ups and downs believe me!Wow 2 years - 10/10 for perseverance, remembering this will help me in my impatient quest for lower numbers.
Thank you but I have had my ups and downs believe me!
Hope you are OK with that4.6
Have a good day peeps
Try a bit lower if you like but 5.6 is fineWOW! I didn't think that Type 2's ever got fasting numbers that low? I thought it was only Type 1's. I have been in the 5's for the very first time this past fortnight ... 5.6 today ... but should I be aiming lower???

I am sure u have @Mal37 - but it’s not how many times we fall but how many times you get back upthis is it for all of us on here, the rest of our lives. It the consistency that counts isn’t it. I wonder if I can be consistent - I’m exhausted with all the exercise already- I just want a rest from it but I know I can’t and it’s a horrible thought. I hope I can find the staying power that you and all the others have shown.
@flexi06 Ask yourself how long you have been doing this and how long you weren't! Also my own targets are set for next Olympics because if it takes those guys a 4 year cycle to achieve fully what makes me so special?II’m exhausted with all the exercise already- I just want a rest from it but I know I can’t and it’s a horrible thought.

Both of you refer to the importance of exercise
@ianpspurs I had a look at the Randle cycle yesterday after you mentioned it. It seems complicated but I think you have the gist of it, which makes sense.
@flexi06 I’m with you there, I do wonder if I’ve got the staying power to give up my past slothfulness. At the moment it’s not too bad as I am seeing positive results but when it starts to plateau I’m worried that I’ll lose heart.
I think the thing is to stay on the forum and it’ll help keep us focussed.
@flexi06 Stick with that attitude. Mo Farah, Usain Bolt and NFL Nose Tackles don't train the same way or need the same diet and neither do we. Be free to pick and chose from others, some will have very different tastes and backgrounds to you. There is no one size fits all solution - which seems to be where the traditional GP advice and current programmes fail!need gentle, kind, guilt trip encouragement- ( I hate the sergeant major stuff- I’m too much of a rebel lol) xx

Oooo careful cumbs x
Thank you ... and actually no ... I don't drive (hee hee)Not if you are on insulin and drive a car
The law states that 5.0 is minimum under that and you could end up in trouble if you drive under 5.0
Your figure today is great
