Forgot to update this morning ... I had 7 on finger prick and 6 on libre... it was a bit high and has been in 7 pretty much whole day despite it being a fasting day. Only in evening it started coming down after i was back from gym... I hope this is, as explained by Dr. Fung, my liver getting rid of fat ... as if its not that then I am just not sure what is going on here...

Irrespective I have decided to extend my fast to tomorrow and see what happens... so perhaps another 60 hrs or maybe even 72 hrs fast if I can pull it through...

I wont lie I am at the moment feeling very nervous ... what if all good results I have been seeing are about to go away...

One more thing that happened pretty much whole day was a bit of continuous headache... not severe but nagging... it went away after my 45 minutes of exercising...

Its all those endorphins.

Hello all,

4.8 this morning and 4.9 yesterday.

@PenguinMum -- It's wonderful that you seem to be feeling better now, hope your recovery continues.

4.9 for me

An uncalled for 6.1 for me.

5.3 for me

4.8 on xdrip and 3.4 on libre... and at the moment 59 hrs 30 minutes into fasting so a lower reading was expected and is in fact quite well deserved, even if I say so myself

@DJC3 you were right about electrolytes and headache... somehow I thought I had taken the electrolyte tablet day before but I found later yesterday that the tablet I was meant to take was sitting on the countertop.

5.8 on second check. 7.3 on first. Fish and chips is not good but I never said I was perfect!

 

[Wookie1974]

5.3 for me. Had a takeaway curry for the 1st time since being diagnosed last night. No rice, but had 1 poppadom. No spikes afterwards.
