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

Thanks for the mention - most welcome. I think my main bugbear is the logistics do not suit me at all. I could probably eat more in line with others if there was no testing after 2 hrs - I can't eat this way by eating h/f protein and veg followed by some kind of LC fat laden course within the time frame needed for a 2 hr test. Overall the fat would probably be fine but to eat this way there is far too much in one go for me. Family meals stretch way longer but suit me much better. I would probably be best grazing all day and just testing at odd times.

There is a school of thought that teaches grazing. And since we humans have the teeth of herbivores rather than of carnivores it makes sense to me that we should graze or browse rather than gorge.

I realize that we are not, however, ruminants. (Thank goodness.)

On re-reading this, I'm not sure I understand the logistics you mean, @ianpspurs . For example, do you mean that family meals take you longer than 2 hours to eat?

Yes @Saskia a family meal i.e with 2 or more sons, wives and children will easily mean 3-4 hrs at the table. Not continuous eating but maybe an hour or 1.5 hrs between courses/parts of the meal.

Sounds very nice.

Now what do you think?

 

[SaskiaKC]

It's not even sundown and everyone is wishing everyone goodnight already.

It makes me feel like the little kid in A Child's Garden of Verses.

 

[jjraak]

Now what do you think?

Backing me up...Obviously. init.

Horses for course, birds of feather, etc...you get the drift...

 

[SaskiaKC]

Kind of disagree. If what I/we do works it works irrespective of testing so the continuation of testing should only confirm that. You can test a cabbage as often as you like, it is still a cabbage

Unless it's not so much green as cabbage-looking.

do sound nice, @ianpspurs
very much a 'Waltons' moment.
and sadly less common then it should perhaps be nowadays.

( unless your one of the osmonds i suppose.. )

 

[SaskiaKC]

Agreed, @jjraak , the family meals of @ianpspurs sound very nostalgic in a good way ...

And your pirate post sounded to me like Keef's health tips -- win-win

Good morning not quite sure what I am up at this time of the morning for. But have tested and am at 5.4 this AM.

 

[SaskiaKC]

Good morning, @JohnEGreen .

Coffee?

 

[JohnEGreen]

Good morning @SaskiaKC or what ever time of day it is with you

Yup just made myself a cup being a bit naughty with a Tassimo latte but what the heck.

Good morning folks, 5.4, seems to be popular early doors.
