Good morning everyone. I am feeling very tired, weary even, this morning. No idea why.
Weather looks a bit grim out there but I have to go for a walk in a short while.
BG has jumped to 5.5
🙂
Nothing planned for today. Rest.
Just been looking through some of my collected data, mainly averages for the first 200 days since diagnosis compared with averages for the most recent 200 days.
What surprised me was that everything was doing the right things except saturated fats. They are half the recommended maximum (NHS recommend

0g) but twice what they were for the first 200 days. It may be a reason why my cholesterol is now slightly high.
I have been trying to reduce my cholesterol levels by eating less and also taking some recommended supplements, but that may all have been pointless if I have defeated it all by not addressing the saturated fats more stringently.
However, now I am aware and will concentrate on reducing that aspect to see if that helps lower my cholesterol levels.
So from a daily average of 17.6g saturated fats I will aim for an unreasonable 5g (well, I will see if that is even possible. Today it is 3.9g)
Of course this could all be just so much unscientific nonsense but it will be interesting (to me) to see how this helps (or otherwise).
I just love data and analysis and pondering different strategies. Does that make me a 'sad' person I wonder?
Have a great day today whatever you are doing
