Worried Newbie

Hubby is diabetic and is very interested in what I've been researching. He just cooked me lunch of smoked haddock with poached egg, cauliflower and kale stir fried in butter and coconut oil - delicious! Our 14 year old enjoyed it too.
I have signed up for diet doctor emails and hubby, who does the cooking has said he'll help me all he can. For the first time this week I am feeling that I might actually be able to control this and become healthier.

just did my bg before eating and it was 5.7.......and 5.6 1 hr after a healthy meal of chicken, bombay cauliflower, cottage cheese and cucumber

fasting bg 6.5 this morning which is a little better. I dropped the porridge and apple yesterday so that has obviously helped

I am away from home now til late tomorrow so its going to be tough but I am determined. I'll take enough with me for today, have a hotel bacon and eggs in the morning and buy a salad at lunchtime with cheese and chicken to keep me going

2 days away from home and I managed to be really good despite an extremely stressful time with my sister who is gravely ill. I had to fast all day yesterday in order to stay with her. After I arrived they closed the hospital ward due to norovirus. Since I had already been exposed they let me stay but I would not have been permitted to return if I went to the car to fetch my lunch. I'd had a breakfast of sausage scrambled egg and cheese and managed without anything in order to stay with Jenn. Finally ate at 6 and had cheese, turkey and a handful of sunflower seeds followed by a coffee with cream at the service station and a few almonds with a small slice of brie. BG was 5.8 when I got home 2 hours later. Not tested this morning as hubby is very low on test strips til he picks up his prescription. However, I have weighed myself exactly 1 week since I started on this momentous journey. I am 6.38 lb down! Yippee!!!!! I almost can't believe it. Still can't get my head round the fact that its working but I am not struggling with hunger and determined to carry on. My aim is to completely avoid a diabetes diagnosis by bringing my HbA1c down significantly over the next 3 months.

I am now 9.25lb down since 23rd March. Fasting BG 5.7 again this morning. I am sticking to LCHF and not feeling hungry at all.

A bit of an update. I've been sticking religiously to LCHF and hubby has too. He hasn't lost anything but his sugars are much more stable, his blood pressure is down and he is feeling like he has more energy.

I am 11.8lb down and getting into my stride with the eating plan. We are experimenting with low carb recipes and I have even managed to stick to it when away from home.
