Groaning or cheering has the same outcome but cheering is more fun, maybe even throw in a little whoop?9.0 for me this morning. Do I groan cos it’s high or cheer cos it’s muuuch better than yesterday’s 11.7?
It’s from Angry Young Man - that’s not how I see you DJC. How about this instead: “the good old days weren’t always good and tomorrow ain’t as bad as it seems”.That Billy Joel quote is perfect for us. Ought to be our anthem.
Hugs ianI really don't want to seem continually downbeat, especially when members have much harder times. My problems seem to lie with the huge disconnect between the highly visible success of weight loss and the ambivalence of my Hba1c numbers. 37 (5.5) is not clear cut in the way members getting low 30s or sub 30 can be confident things work. Far too much doubt for me at the moment I want it clear cut then I will come on board with wholly supporting LC message. It is clear cut for weight loss.
Sorry if this is OT but felt I needed to apologise for appearing negative.
Apologise not. You give incredible positive advice to others and it’s definitely your prerogative to strive for the best, to want the best, and to be disappointed at lack of the best when you’re doing all that you should be and not seeing what’s needed. Doubt in a method that isn’t giving you the results it should is a totally natural reactionI really don't want to seem continually downbeat, especially when members have much harder times.

Thanks @Emma_369 . @Cumberland @karen8967 and @PenguinMum. What I don't/didn't want to do is/was stop people following LCHF just because I seem to have serious doubts. For goodness sake carry on trying to keep control of bg levels. I doubt if I will ever again feel secure with any Hba1c level having fully woken to the dangers of this condition on a personal level. You can't put the "*hit just got real" genie back in the bottle.Apologise not.

His present is a word in edgeways one would imagine
I reckon if you told most newbies that on LCHF you could lose a load of weight, get HbA1C to 37 and then get grumpy about it staying there, they'd still take it. I know how you feel though. Thinking at the moment that stress is a bigger factor on my BG than I give it credit for.Thanks @Emma_369 . @Cumberland @karen8967 and @PenguinMum.

Thanks @SaskiaKC - confused is possibly the most accurate description of where I am at. I really, really, really do want to be upbeat. Oh did I mention really?@ianpspurs you don't sound negative, you sound frustrated. Understandably so.
