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

That must be ghastly @Cumberland i have good veins so don't have that problem, but i have had that phlebotomist done, as i had iron overload at one stage so VERY big Needle. But i was surprised as i took it quite well. Hope it goes well for you on the day and not in vain. Good luck.
 

@cumbs, me too. My veins actively hide.
 
Fbg this a.m. 4.1 ketones 3.6
It seems interesting to me that many GPs still claim ignorance of best ways to treat T2D when it has been increasing in population numbers for so many years. I am wondering why there is not an intervention in place to increase their understanding of the mechanisms involved. Or why most seem content to go along with parroting advice that really is not good, instead of undertaking their own research. I often give my GP printouts of interesting research findings and he has changed his attitude from .dire warnings of dangerous outcomes when I have made experiments, to almost encouragement when Seeing the results.
 
Morning.
5.5 this morning- very healthy but too early to tell if a return to normal or more volatility.
I had an upset stomach for a bit yesterday which may explain Tuesday’s 6.8-9.3 rollercoaster day.
Hopefully normal service resumed.
 
WOW...good job geeful...a clean sweep...well done.

Hi @Canvaspic Ketones will come quicker when you have been on LCHF for a bit longer the lower the carb intake the quicker your body starts using fat for fuel and you will also become fat adapted. What did you have on your 3 day fast?

Coffee with milk. I did have a few nuts on the 3rd day as i was driving. But my BG was still above 5.

Today BG is 5.2, raining here, home gym time. Doc appointment for 10.

Hope everyone is well. Have a good day all.
 

Super results- you are an inspiration. When newbies join this forum and see results like that it gives great encouragement to start on the right path. Well done.
 


Hi and thanks so much. Your code didnt work but it didnt take me too long to find one that did. For anyone reading this and interested the code is : HEALTHTRACK
 
Can I have some advice please. I haven't been diagnosed yet. I have P.C.O.S which can cause insulin resistance. I have been having 'Funny turns' so have started testing my blood sugars first thing in the morning for a couple of weeks and they are usually between 6 and 8. Do you think I have enough evidence to go to the drs and say that i think this is part of it. Yesterday 7.5 today 6.7 I'm unsure what should be normal.
