When i asked my doctor about insulin she was shocked…no insulin for me. Instead she said I’d get a glucose lowering pill (forget the name). My pancreas is severely damaged. The tail is completely atrophied and the pancreatic duct is tortuous (that word might be wrong…it’s twisted all to heck). Funny thing is that my c peptide is completely normal and my fasting insulin is low but normal. So many things I don’t understand….

Hello @Bcgirl. Tortuous is the correct term, although sometimes the appearance of a normal functioning pancreatic duct is described as tortuous meaning twisted. Hope this helps.

Well done for resisting the temptation to buy almond flour crackers, btw. They're definitely best left on the supermarket shelf.

I used to buy the Linwoods products there [Costco], but they’ve disappeared so I now order them directly from their HQ in Northern Ireland and get a chance to hear a range of different accents too.

Evening @Estragon. Holland and Barrett stores stock Linwoods products as does Sainsbury's and Waitrose; I buy from whichever outlet is running a special offer. Might be more economical if you happen to have a branch near you.

Many more happy returns, @mojo37.
All the best on your special day!

I tend to be in a rush in the mornings but at lunchtime it was 4.9. Fasting in the sense of nothing eaten apart from black coffee.

 

[Omar51]

Oh Omar! Are you sure about your reading? Not 4.72???

Well Aylalake! with my app shows 4.5, I can change to 4.72 if that makes you happy , both are good numbers. Thanks and have a nice day

Yeah, my last Google trawl pointed me to Linwoods HQ in NI, £ 5.79 425gm and I get free shipping too. Sainsbury just isn't reliable. Holland & Barret is more expensive at £6.09 425gm.

I think I was 6.7 this morning….
I’m adding a wee bit of carbs to my diet as a test. So today it was half an apple with almond butter. I’ll post after meal results later. It was ok…but honestly the apple had no flavour….how disappointing.
Upper body workout the morning and some walking. Heading out soon for a nice dog walk. Winter is coming, a big snowstorm predicted for Monday. I got lots of groceries today so we’re good but sadly I do have a doctor appointment on Monday. If it’s real ugly I’ll get hubby to drive me…his big truck is much better than my little yaris.

7.3, still not loving the low carb, ad off on hollibobs with friends for a week, so I expect some very bad dietary choices... hayho, I'll try to keep on top of it. Keep going my prickly friends.

It’s the ice cream that catches me out!
Oh, and the croissants!

 

[Ladynijo]

5.7 FBG this morning. Was good last night, a square of 85% chocolate as dessert and no ice cream.

Long flight back later - not looking forward to that.

Half apple experiment….5.9 before lunch, 6.4 two hours later. Pretty good and I’m happy.
full lunch was three strips of bacon, almond flour biscuit with aged cheddar, half an apple with almond butter, 9 cashews. Maybe the body needs some of those carbs?

I eat a small green apple a day. I cut it into 4 pieces and eat one piece with every meal. Green apples are low in fructose, and probably good for diabetics. Eating a small green apple doesn’t affect my BG. Good luck.
