Hope it goes well for Mr Emma_369. I don't think Low Carb is a huge problem for many people but the ultra low carb is an entirely different species. Throw in fasting, cream in tea and all the rest and it becomes a snarling, vicious master than can control you if you aren't careful. Should be a piece of hiss for himMorning all. 4.8 for me today. My darling husband as of today is eating exactly as I eat - I think my weight loss and his weight gain has given him a complex so he wants to shed a stone to get back to his normal weight. Im a pillar of support for him ........ but give him till Wednesday before he decides the Low carb isn’t for him
He’s just a pasta addict - I think he was Italian in a previous lifeHope it goes well for Mr Emma_369.

He sounds a good man. I definitely ate huge portions of pasta, rice, potatoes and bread in the Old Country. Now I just drink lots and lots of tea (mostly with homemade almond milk) - winters are very long with this WOEHe’s just a pasta addict - I think he was Italian in a previous lifebut if he can get past that he’ll be fine as I’m not ultra low and don’t do the cream in drinks so nothing too odd for him
Hope it goes well for Mr Emma

Maybe join the dots young lady?
5.5 today.
Waiting in for a bathroom delivery. No set time. Just getting a phone call 1 hour before. So catching up with some jobs. Paperwork being one of them, housework another. Washing is already out on the line and being thrown around like confetti!!! It looks bright and sunny but still very chilly.
I would like to talk blood pressure for a minute. Before dx I was borderline for meds. Readings of around 140 over 90. I dont know too much about BP but I do know that top line between 100 and 120 and bottom between 60 and 80 is good. Since my weight loss I have excellent BP readings. For example this morning 106 over 61. I dont exercise. Most I do os a nice walk. So this is a result of weight loss only. Significant weight loss I admit. Started at 14 stone 7lbs (height 5 ft 9.5) and now 10 stone 10 lbs. Working on hubby's now which is elevated. He has himself lost 19lbs on low carb. About another 14 to go. Hoping his BP follows the pattern of mine as his bottom line high. Anyone with any helpful hints, much appreciated.
I get my BP done three times a year at the GP surgery. Mine, like my cholesterol has always been fine. I do get the feeling that checking blood pressure too many times contributes to elevated results.
Mind how you go.
Oh my! Things needs to change at university!!! You dont need a fight when you've just been diagnosed. Their procedures need updating and fast!
Great news on your results. You must be so proud if yourself. Coming up trumps in the face of adversity.
Good luck with your remaining exams.
It's the last thing you needed. But you are rising to the challenge (s!).I know! My consultant was trying to fight it for me, but I didn’t want to waste time fighting when I could be revising as the university said here was no extra time that could be given to me. I tried to explain risk of hypos etc but hey wasn’t having any of it.
I think the university’s view was that ‘it might go away’. Bearing in mind I’m not overweight and I’m young it seems unlikely a lifestyle change would have got rid of the diabetes..... and 4 months later here I am being insulin dependant.... clearly was never going to go away lol!
I have repeat fasting blood test for lipids as they did not like the last one won't be any different I think if I'm not worried why should they be.HB1ac blood test tomorrow
My doctor said not to even bother checking my own BP at home anymore. Last time I did it was up and down 10-20 points in as many minutes. And the medics keep lowering the "ideal" numbers all the time ...
FBG 7.1 this morning. Then a check of the weather told me of killer tornadoes in the county where I went to university. Thankfully my friend's daughter, a student there, was home celebrating her mother's birthday and not in the path of the storms, but gosh, the destruction and deaths out in the countryside.
