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


@dogslife thanks for that will take a look to see what they have and hopefully can get myself and my eldest lad one, they do sound really good, a bit like a mini electric blanket. K

@Granny_grump_ On the Amazon site they have a good choice of shapes and sizes of electric pads including one for knees.Last winter I bought my hubby a chargeable battery one for back pain.He finds it really good because he can walk around, and it helps a lot.

@Glenmac thanks for info will check it out! K
 
Congratulations thats brilliant
 

@G1raffe Well done
that's an awful lot to lose in such a short time,are you feeling ok with such a drastic diet. Don't get me wrong I admire your determination in the goals you've set yourself and I'm not aware of the weight loss you want to lose,but wouldn't it be better and healthier done less drastically.
How are you going to maintain your weight loss and BG levels if you don't know what foods will keep you on track. But you cannot fast forever?
Perhaps a bit more details about yourself i.e.:- age ,weight loss goal, etc. Do you do any Excersise and how are you health wise.
I'm not being nosy just trying to see a bigger picture.
I myself have lost 4st 3 pound but over 12 months and my body is showing signs of it, but I'm in my 70 s so wouldn't expect anything else. And are you getting help and advice from your medical team with all of this. Forgive me if I've offended you with all of these questions just concerned! K
 
Good morning everyone
Early BG today 6.2 but on Simple linctus and other capsules
Had a bit better sleep last night but still awake early, have a lovely weekend everyone! K

oh you very naughty person you. kebabs at the weekend usually have a liquid intake prior if you enjoyed it and its a rare one off no biggie. every day obviously thats diffrent. quite shocked when i saw how many carbs where in one.
 
Morning all. 7.6 at 8am. Higher than I'd like but lower than I was expecting as I've started with a proper old fashioned cold and treated myself to a slice of hot buttered toast just before bedtime. Well, they say "Feed a cold" and I was suddenly hungry! Have a good day and keep warm.
 
@dogslife hope your soon on the mend colds make us feel hungry and miserable at the best of times, but I agree feed a cold and starve a fever a lot of sense in the old mottos! Eh! K Take care of yourself
