5.9 very late posting
My little bit of chat is to share my good news. My surgery have run my story in their latest newsletter. It's a 2 pager with lots of photos and stats. Really well put together. My stats showing my t2d in remission and my @ 4 stone weight loss. This will be handed out across my 2 very large surgeries. Not only that but the practice manager who is being ultra supportive to our cause is going to send this together with our inspirational stories booklet, blood glucose monitoring leaflet, 100 stone lost and kicked diabetes butt, Dr unwin papers, 1936 LCHF diabetes guidelines to every local surgery by email on.my behalf (across Blackpool fylde and wyre). I'm touting for business for the local diabetic group as well as trying to spread the word. Feeling happy.

3.8 this morning. Below 4.0 usually and not higher than 5.8 in the last month. Fell below 3.0 a couple of times and I felt a bit wobbly.
Hello all.
@Cumberland -- Not good -- low blood sugars two days in a row. Hope you are doing better now.
@rhubarb73 -- Congrats on the weight loss and the wonderful tweet. Really well done.
@alf_Josiah -- Great to see you back. We've been missing you.
@Emma_369 -- Hope you can dodge the cold. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Blood sugars were a measly 5.6 this morning for me, quite a bit higher than usual. Only had espresso with cream this morning and have fasted until 3 p.m. Levels are down to around 5.0 now -- happy with this.
7.2 this morning.
Cumberland, you and I need to work out a way to get together and do a trade-off. Surely there is a happy medium between your 3s and my 7s.
Hello Jim. I take 2 Gliclazide twice a day plus one Sitagliptin daily. My blood sugars were quite high before I started the low carb diet (max about 125g carbs per day) about 3-4 weeks ago. If necessary, I could contemplate reducing my medication.Are you taking any medication? That seems to me like your sailing a little too close to the edge!
Amazing! Firstly on your achievement and secondly because it appears that ever so slowly the word is getting out.
Keep up the good work everyone and let’s turn that ship around!

Goodnight Karen and everyone.Goodnight everyone sleep well
In effect I'm probably having a lot less than 125g in a day. That is simply the recommended maximum amount per day. Most of my carbs are at breakfast when I have 30g of porridge with whole milk plus a tablespoon of almond butter, 100g of frozen berries and flax, pumpkin and sunflower seeds. I totally avoid bread, pasta, rice, potatoes and flour etc. and only drink mineral water. I find Barenaked Noodles and Rice very helpful for filling out meat and vegetable meals.@Cumberland, sounds like a good plan! And we know it won't be on the Sugarland Express.
@GARRY BUDDEEN wow, 125 would be really high carbs for me. I try to stay around less than half of that.
I'll monitor the situation closely Jim. Just took a reading 2 hours after dinner and I was 6.1 so quite pleased with that.I hope you don’t mind me saying that you should speak immediately with your doctor about reducing your medications! I’m no expert but it seems to me like you’re in danger if going hypo. If you’re waking up in the 3 range, you could be going very low during the night.
