What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)


I'm so sorry to hear about your sudden loss, but please do take care of yourself. It's easy to slide off that wagon, and so very difficult to climb back on. It took me two years, and my loss wasn't sudden at all. I just became more and more depressed, knowing full well what was happening to my BG. I know it must be a tremendous shock to you, but I don't want that to happen to you or to anybody else. I hope you have somebody to lean on.
 

There is a low carb bread from Waitrose/ Ocado.com called LivLife Bread.

It’s only 3.6g of carb per slice.

There are also lots of low carb “Keto”
bread recipes on YouTube.
 

Sorry for your loss Mal37, please stay strong and take care of yourself.

I've found 3 things give me leg cramp. Lack of water, lack of salt or too much/unusual exercise. Of course figuring out which is the cause is always an issue!

And sitting still drinking salt water is not a very appealing prospect!



Thanks. Hug gratefully accepted. I had a long spell of getting them every night but thought I had scared them off with magnesium supplements, only for them to mysteriously reappear at the end of last week. Upped magnesium and seem to have subsided again.

For anybody interested I made some Leto bread ( 90 seconds in microwave) made of almond flour (3tbs) 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1 egg. I used it as a burger bun - I was amazed at how much like bread it was. Pretty cool
 
New strategy today up early breakfast vertually zero carbs took medication including preds straight away followed vlc all day so far, less than 10 grams of carb all day tested just now after dinner BG 4.4 err wow except now feel hypoish .

Oh yes forgot to mention the small glass of whiskey oh and the little drop of merlot.
 
I am sorry to hear what a bad time you had. It's good to share these thyings though as we don't feel so alone with it. I am trying my best (and succeeding) with eating properly, but the shock has been overwhelming and I still cannot take it in fully. I shall be lost without her as I saw her almost every morning for a coffee and chat up until she went into hospital. She would want me to look after myself though so it's the best incentive

Another big hug for you. You come across as a very strong person, and I hope you're surrounded by loving and supportive people. I've no doubt she would want you to look after yourself.
