the headaches are what are doing my head in and a constant feeling of hunger hopefully it will sort its self out an soon xx
 

Know exactly how you feel although I’m not hungry

I just feel like a Zombie (some would say look like one too)

Yes I hope for both our sakes that we see some stability

@Chronicle_Cat really good weight loss and fbg. How long was your fast?

My fast was 36 hours (1 1/2 days). I seem to get the best results if I fast through dinner although I don't do it often as I like to eat dinner with my husband. Usually I do the 16/8 (last meal at dinner, not eating till noon the next day.) I definitely get better numbers and weight loss if I don't snack, especially not the evening snack (I'm fortunate not to have dawn phenomena.)

Hope you are ok
 
It is what it is penguinmum just need to get ratios right but i wasnt like this last year
 

I find fasting hard, but agree with you about snacking, especially in the evening- that’s when temptation is worst though, so double well done to you.
 

Historically I’ve always been high to stupid high

I know both hyper and hypo are pretty bad but hypo is just plain evil
 

Well done CC that's a great achievement.
