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


What a turnaround Jim. Well done you!
 
Well done
 
I have no doubt it could be any day according to culture/lifestyle/myth. Just read that, and it worked for me/us. For years we were probably only all 5 in the house to eat at Christmas - at least 1 boy, me or both would be playing sport. However many were there together we would have roasts on Sunday. latterly with my dad and/or taking 2 portions to mum and dad. I think the main point is to keep to the same day, time if possible and type of clothing (mine is as I came into the world) Weekends seem pretty much only times our boys can assemble their full tribes.
Edited to be fair to my wife: For years Julie would work/be out of the house up to 16 hrs a day weekdays.

Excellent. Congratulations on your achievement.
 
Morning...finally a good nights sleep...it's been an up & down week...blood pressure seems to be coming down cold on the wane...thankful for that & of course if it BP stays stable I can cancel my appointment with Dr Dreadful...exhausting when you have to 'fight' with those who are charged with our care to get what you need...not a great dynamic...woke to a 5.7
 
12.1 this morning, which is higher than usual. I’m so annoyed by this as last night I increased my insulin after my conversation with the DSN!

So frustrated!!! But I’m going to have a nice long walk this morning to burn it off. Then a full day of studying.....

Have a nice weekend everyone.
 
Fantastic summary of your journey in a short time Jim you should be ecstatic. I think LC works big time for a few people. For others it is still better than anything else. Don't think there is any way of predicting. Huge "shout out" to you. For newer members if you don't see the rapid change Jim has that is not a sign of failure. Quite a few of us have way more humdrum tales. Hope this is ok by you @Jim Lahey

Absolutely. It’s never my intention to make anyone else feel deflated. All we can do is share our own experiences and hope that they add to the pool of knowledge.

Also not everyone has the motivation that I had. I’m sure I don’t need to expand further on that
