Derek Stubbs said:
This is my first morning test, been awake about 2 hours, but I have not eaten or drank & just been laying down. I've had a couple of pee's though, both quite clear though.

Had some cooked meat before bed last night.

5.3 is today's score

Good to hear you're fine sunny. I'm doing just great thanks - keeping the bgls in the 6's at the moment so thats good tho I'd like to get them back into the 5's again. Celebrated my birthday today - spent it with my family - went out for a late lunch to a garden centre restaurant. Another meal tomorrow evening on the cards - don't think I should test again til Monday 😱 you take care x

thanks Amigo,

I am going to have my usual bowl of porridge with almond milk & a few strawberries in an hour or so & test two hours later.
I'll probably have a cup of coffee with a drop of double cream in, as it's very soothing going down.
I do have low blood pressure though & have been adding SEA salt recently to aid things a little.
Having too little natural salt, plays havoc with heart regulation & also imbalances fluid levels which control blood sugars.
Getting the balance right can be hard but I think it's beginning to work a little.

I am probably slightly underweight now, having lost about 1&half stone since being diagnosed less than three months ago.
I have lost all my muscle mass aswell.
The sudden weight loss has probably been down to the metformin supressing my appetite as I have days where I don't feel like much.
And since being diagnosed, I have hardly had any salt, but adding sea salt into my diet now, has slightly increased my appetite as I now need to put
some weight on but more importantly, get some muscle back.
So eating more proteins seems to be the way to go.
 
Good morning all, high numbers (high for me) yesterday and felt ill, dreadful cramps in night. Woke to 5.1 and busy day today working, hoping today is better and then the good news, holiday on Monday.

A 6.9 for me this morning.

Yes sounds like you need proteins for the muscle mass and a bit more salt Derek.

Seem to go high in evening, not eating much and taking more rapid insulin. Monday we fly, today long day but last day. I can do this! Thanks and you have great weekend.

Of course you can do this...just think forward to tomorrow morning...day of rest before holiday (providing you've done your packing & found your passport)...then off...that frisson of anticipation when something pleasurable in the offing...love that...travel part of it...someone else doing all the work...hotel...being waited on...make the most of it...much needed...have a fabulous time.

I think you are right Amigo,

I have lost the crap from the body (sugars mainly) & lost the weight & muscle as a result, so I now need to replenish my body, but with better fuel
than I was previously.
It's a bit an overhaul of the body really, flush the crap out, replace with good quality fuel.
