Never heard of an ankle replacement, I have a friend waiting for an op to fuse the bones in her ankle.
My left ankle is fused and now have end stage osteoarthritis in my right. Another fusion would make things very awkward so it’s a replacement called an ‘Infinity’ still relatively new compared to knee and hip replacements but chronic pain!
to the pain. Lets hope it works for you, it must be hard even to cycle. Did the ankle fusion work well?
Fusion has been excellent, seven years ago now. All brought about because of sport, football, rugby and distance running. Did consider a fusion in my other ankle but having both fused can be a challenge I’m told, although people do have both done and manage quite well
Now that's the sort of meeting I like!
Doesn't everyone have meetings in pubs??.... Or the garden if you are working at No. 10
You are making a really good start with changes to your diet, well done.
How long before your breakfast was the fasting test and was your post breakfast test after 2 hours.
Do you normally have 2 cups of coffee? A second cup will usually push my levels up by 1-2 mmols due to caffeine being a stimulant.
Yes and it’s now 5.9 Bmmols before lunch
I get that with the dawn phenomenon. I’m still experimenting yes again with what increases after I eat than decreases. I always have a mug of coffee but if I give that up I don’t think life is worth it no more . You’ve to eat meat and not have carbs n oh… 5.9 is getting me moody chat soon
That looks like a good before lunch level.
I am not suggesting you give up coffee. My morning coffee with cream is one of my little luxuries which makes up for the other foods I have given up. You may well feel the same. What I was trying to do was explain that if you normally have just one cup of coffee your body gets used to the caffeine in that one cup but then if you occasionally have a second cup, the additional caffeine can cause your BG levels to rise. I am not saying that you shouldn't have a second cup whenever you want but merely trying to explain the higher reading is likely not due to your cooked breakfast, but perhaps other factors like DP and the caffeine in your second cup of coffee, which was what you were querying. I still have a second cup of coffee some days as a special treat, particularly if I feel that I need some "comfort" but I accept that it will raise my BG a bit.
No please don’t think I’m against what your saying . Please . I am just really in the throws of I need to sort myself out . The blood sugars are just sign posts saying your on a good or bad track. I know o have to sort myself out as I am HUGE . So it’s Me that is fighting . In a tantrum so to speak . Need to adult up over this I was delighted at lunch but then two hours post lunch it’s 11.9 it’s swinging all the time. I just had tonic water and for lunch I had mince and kiwi fruit so I know a Kiwi is definitely out now. I’ve no idea what to try for supper tonight . Hubby is out and at 11.9 I can hardly have a treat . So testing is helping as obviously before lunch I thought I was doing great when post I’m not . I looked at the strict Keto n that is too little for me at the moment . The low carb def does not go with the low cholesterol looking at both neither really suited. So it’s trying to get what works and what doesn’t . I will possibly have a omlette salad tonight. I have feta cheese and someone said that’s a good chpice . I’m still within cals and the carbs and fats allowed .
I know you said you didn't like meat so what sort of mince was it? and how did you cook it. 1 kiwi is only 5g carb so that shouldn't have been a problem.
