@Mick1959 Those are the times you suck it up and take one for the team so good man and in the big scheme of things all's well, I had visitors, and had to sample a fruit scone, with cream and jam, that a friends daughter had made and watched me eagerly as I ate one.
ProbablyWhat, on your exercise bike ?
That would definitely end up with a numb bum in BrumProbably

5.1 today. My father passed away Tuesday morning and I have so far managed to avoid the associated “funeral “ foods. Been in ketosis for about 2.5-3 weeks and want to keep it that way.
Have a great day!!
5.1 this morning. 44th wedding anniversary today so planning on a meal out so won't be keeping to the rules today.
Probably no more cheating in theory than going low carb except you shouldn't have such a high merlot intake as low carb!.Only thing that seems to stop it is a glass or two of Merlot I the evening . But that's cheating …...isn't it ??????
Thanks @DJC3 I must have had more red than you last night, hehehehe!5.9 today as a result of red wine last night. Headache also the result of red wine last night.
Still back in the 5s good to see you there @SueJB
@eggs11 I’m whooping for you!
@alf_Josiah that’s the toughest challenge to date!
The aim is to have BS at a certain level the methods you use to achieve that are up to you so no it ain't cheating it's controlling your blood sugar and if that means getting a little tipsy and getting some enjoyment while doing it well we all have to make some sacrifices don't we.6.4 today . Got to find something to liver block for supper . tried all I can think of . Only done low carb yesterday about 35grs and still in the 6s .Only thing that seems to stop it is a glass or two of Merlot I the evening . But that's cheating …...isn't it ??????
Off topic but considering this thread can sometimes become wine lovers central this might be a useful link - yes @DJC3 I am looking at you

Well I suggested to a 12 yr old looking go last week who I went to see about a different matter that my blood readings were between 3.9 and 5.4 over the weekend with a little bit of wine . Not enough to get tipsy just the odd glass with dinner . She nearly fell off her chair with the shock that I was drinking a glass or two of red each night . Before I was diagnosed it was a hell of a lot more than that and my liver and kidneys are grand . But you’re right a little. It of what you fancy is grand once it keeps the blood sugar monster in checkThe aim is to have BS at a certain level the methods you use to achieve that are up to you so no it ain't cheating it's controlling your blood sugar and if that means getting a little tipsy and getting some enjoyment while doing it well we all have to make some sacrifices don't we.
Do you think 1 or 2 glasses of red is high intake even when not on meds and low carbProbably no more cheating in theory than going low carb except you shouldn't have such a high merlot intake as low carb!
