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

Hurts like hell doesn't it will try to test next time normally I just have to get out of bed as it is worse when lying down and hobble round the house till the pain subsides .

I get them too if I don't take magnesium. (I had them long before I started low carb.) I've read that many Type 2s are deficient in magnesium, I don't know if that applies to Type 1 as well.

I take magnesium bisglycinate as it is absorbed better than other forms of magnesium. As well, doesn't make you run to the bathroom like other forms of magnesium (with 1/2 of a colon, I don't any any additional assistance in that area!).
 

Of the 10 there were 3 diabetics. Myself and 2 other PPG members. They had afternoon tea. I tried to pick the brains of DJ (diabetic john) next to me. How long he had been t2d (years), whether he was on meds or not (just been doubled to 2 in the morning 2 in the evening), does he eat bread, rice, pasta or potatoes, (yes to all, he lives alone and goes through a sliced loaf in a week!). The salad was easy to digest, that info wasn't!!!
 

That's no sad emoji otherwise I'd pick that one. Does he know how carbs affect blood glucose?

We have bread in the house (my husband isn't diabetic, although he eats my low carb meals, he will eat some carbs. His bread in the house doesn't tempt me.) My husband does not eat an entire loaf of bread in a week.
 

I'm with @Chronicle_Cat on this one @Debandez ..

with you taking the lead and posting back the reports of each one of your meetings,
we're gonna NEED a SAD emoji......along with a SHOCKED, & INCREDULOUS one as well..LoL.

And im not sure the current '***,' one IS really up to the job,
if that's the standards (and we know..that THAT, right there, is the tip of the 'i'll be ok' iceberg) you'll be hoping to traverse.

At my desmonds i gave everyone the address of this forum, i gave everyone my username to get in touch, i made them snap it so there would be no confusion or so they could decide later and would still of had the details...and so far it's been Zip.

I'd love to have had them all back for another round of chat to see how we are coping.
( i'd lay good money that 3 months in i was the one doing the best out of all of us.)
hate to think where so many might be in a year or twos time....how we needed someone like you..
 

The ham and tomatoes look delicious. What's in the yellow "Anchor" packets? Is that butter?
 
Morning all. Always enjoy reading all of the chatter on here, even if work/sleep get in the way of joining in too often. Up slightly later today as all day offsite meetings mean a later start to the working day. FBG of 4.7. Have a good day all.
 
Morning...up at 02:30 off to the bathroom...just settling back into when the cats claws came out (he wanted my attention)...caught me right on the sole of my foot...the little ******...not looking at him this morning...despite that rude awakening woke to a 5.6
