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

keto chef roll! Thought readings would have been a one off with previously keto chef but nope - remainder in the bin off you go! Should have taken my own advice and steered well clear of any bread/carby temptations.

how are you with other relatively high protein foods? worth checking ingrediants against likes of panda flour maybe a little difference? if not major difference maybe not worth a try?


@ChrisT2 DP perhaps ? body suddenly thinks oh its time to get active for the day needs sugar rush ?
 
Having a rough day and I don’t know why. Dexcom was 6.5 and a few minutes later when I did the blood test it was 7.4! I’m so frustrated. There’s no way that one lunch time Lindt ball yesterday would do that…in fact it never even registered on my Dexcom at the time. I’m not sick either. All I can do is carry on and hope that my pancreas isn’t getting worse than it already is.
Did go to the gym for abs, a bit of yoga, and a 45 min bike ride….none of which lowered the blood level much. Lowest was 5.7…that was the end of the bike ride.
It’s my anniversary today…40 years!
And now the days will just get longer, yippee.

Sorry to hear rough day especially on anniversary. Hopefully back to usual in a few days.

What's fluid intake compared to normal? Maybe up a little bit could help. I found it dehydrated even a little would raise glucose levels, alongside even further out readings on libre.. see this page https://www.nss.nhs.scot/media/2459/6_healthy-pee-colour-chart_march22-002.pdf
Was it a special anniversary? Recall my mum's 25th a good few years ago and attended someone's 50th recently where they renewed vows

Hope you feel better soon.
 
4.6 libre
breakfast then out a walk dry at moment :>

supermarket later for weekly shop hopefully wont be too chaotic got some 'baking' to do, first up is ginger cookies https://sugarfreelondoner.com/keto-ginger-cookies/ using for base for fairly low carb cheesecake filling which will do tomorrow :) lemon & with a few rasps ontop for xmas yum.

going through presents (again) ensuring something for everyone ended up grabbing camera magazine subscription for uncle who didn't have something for, will see if can maybe find him something tomorrow when next across in the mainland.
