Fasting BG 2016

[Tamagno]

131 this morning.

I gather moose are having something of a resurgence in New England. Golly, and everyone around here thought hitting deer was a hazard!

So, I'm trying having my breakfast (slice of toast - 14 carbs) cut up in my coffee. Not bad - a little like hot cereal. Still not soft enough to go down though. Next stop the blender...

88 all thanks to zoomba.
Do y'all think it would be a good idea to drop the metformin now ?

77 this morning.  The weatherman predicted "frost" last night so I guess the Winter season is really coming.  I love the season between Fall and Winter mostly because the mosquitoes are moving on to a new home.

110 (6.09) this morning.  We have a cold front coming and starting tomorrow it is supposed to be cooler and windy every day.  Slight chance of rain, 20%, but mostly any rain will be further North.
@Tamagno, yes, hitting a deer would be bad enough and we have them around here but a Moose !  My little Honda Civic would not survive that !
@Sweety, I would not be in a hurry to drop Metformin right now.  Some drugs to lower BG cause the pancreas to push out more insulin whether it is needed or not.  This can cause a problem by sending someone too low so when I started LCHF I had to stop the Glipizide I was taking to prevent hypos but Metformin does not do that.  It is used to improve insulin resistance and normally it will not cause one to go too low.  If you are stable at lower numbers after a while you may try to stop Metformin if you want but I would give it some time.

4.3 (78) yesterday and again today. Boring.

78 (4.32) again this cold cloudy morning, 84 (4.65) at bedtime last night.

I missed posting yesterday fasting was 75 (4.16), bedtime the day before was 85 (4.71).

Sweety? I agree with Wally about your metformin, and for the same reasons he states.

112 today. Still reeling from the weekend partying 
Sweety, I would echo the thoughts of the others with the medication. Hang on for some more time.

Still reeling from the weekend partying 

Me too rocky. Still at 125 today.

[Sweety]

OK. So I continue with the metformin till I see the lower numbers consistently.
I checked in a little early today morning and I was at 86.

[starsign]

Aj was back to 106 again after recording a 101 yesterday. Thought we'd see the double digits, but century it was to be.

[Tamagno]

203 this morning.

Comedian, perhaps there's virtue in "boring"?

I don't know, SKB, I begin to suspect you of being a "party animal" over there...

Good news from the oncologist yesterday; my esophageal cancer has not metastasized! Now, I just have to have a stomach tube installed for eating, have 5-6 weeks of chemo/radiation and then surgery to remove my wrecked esophagus.

Not bad at all! Added benefit to the esophagectomy is it's much like having your stomach stapled - been looking to drop some weight from my hopelessly chubby 140 lbs...

[skb]

First of all, congratulations on the good news. I always thought that the surgery comes first, followed by chemo/radiation on a need basis.

As far as parties go, I've to attend another one tomorrow. Every time I resolve to be good, and every time I say, Next time. Since you think 140 lbs to be chubby, I should stop talking about my weight and/or BMI.

179 this morning.  I realized I had not changed my infusion set on schedule, so the cannula tip evidently began to close - hence the high blood glucose number.

skb - I've heard some people that attend gatherings or parties have a bite to eat at home.  Then when they are offered party foods, they can honestly say "I will take only a small amount of that delectable food."

Tamagno - So very glad the news you received was as good as it could be.  Will be thinking of you as you have treatment.

99 (5.48) this morning.  Well, it's below 100 so that is good.   
Starting tomorrow it is going to be about 10° cooler and WINDY through Monday with a slight chance of rain but if we get any it will probably only be a little bit.  Three storms lined up and coming down from Alaska but most of the rainfall will be North of here. 
@Tamagno, good news although it probably won't be pleasant going through treatment there is a light at the end !
