Fasting BG 2017

[skb]

Yesterday I went down to Best Buy to look at the 4th generation Apple TV and whatever else. Decided to stick with my older gen 2 that is still working and save my money for another day...

I bought mine in March/April this year. I don't know what generation it is. But it keeps me entertained for 2 hours every evening. Amazon has launched a competitive gadget known as the "Stick" which is 1/4th the cost.

79 pre-dinner and 116 today morning.

Much better numbers today. 86 before dinner and 91 fasting this morning. Looks like the infection has moved out finally.

164 this morning.

SKB, I use both Roku and Apple TV. The latter allows me to stream photos as well as to easily listen to internet radio from all over while the former has better flexibility in accessing content. Apple and Amazon have been feuding so Amazon hasn't been available on Apple TV. My understanding is that will change this fall. I suppose with the newer smart TVs that neither is necessary but that would be the more expensive option.

99 (5.48) this morning.  Running a bit high the last two days.  I'm a bit stuffy and feel blah so I think that may explain.   
A bit cooler yesterday but only a couple of degrees.  Still a chance of thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday but only 20%.
Just realized I passed my 4 year anniversary of LCHF the third of July.  I had finally gotten fed up with my doctors approach and started doing some research.  My first stop was the ADA, I mean they should be the best place to go, right ?  Well it only took me a day to find out their information was bogus.  I found Jenny Ruhl's book Blood Sugar 101 and that got me started.  With some more research and LCHF forums I was able to get off my meds to try and control bg and found out that I could get far better results with diet and mild exercise.  So far it has been a huge success and I like to thank people, like those on this forum, that make it possible.  You can do all of the research and reading you want but it takes the knowledge and help of others like you to really make it work.

71 (3.93) this morning.

Heat and humidity are on the rise here.  It is 82 (26C) at present with 89% humidity.  It's just like a sauna when you step outside.  My hubby is trying to clean up storm damage from one of the recent storms that came through this area.  He could use a chain saw but so far has refused to buy one saying his hand saw can do the jobs he needs to do......yeah right!

96 (5.32) this clear morning, 80 (4.43) at bedtime last night. I'm not surprised, the stress I've been under was bound to raise my bg.

Ran errands today, missed last week, planned on Saturday then all  he!! broke loose.  Today was a "normal" day and Boo is settling down some.  This weekend will be quiet too and maybe Mon and Tues until I get the quotes.  I'm leaning towards one, but I want to see their quotes first.  Thunderstorms and rain in forcast for Tues & Wed next week.

Thanks Wally. I wish all the forum faithfuls from the earlier forum/s could find their way here. Forums all across the web have been hit hard by social media sites. That, though true, is surprising, because both these platforms are different from each other. There is an ongoing thread "Are forums a dying breed" on SMF Forum (which is the forum software that we use). The posts on that thread are disheartening & only confirm the thesis. But we're thankful to the faithful handful who visit these pages everyday and help forums survive.

109 today morning.

I was thinking of smorgan the other day and wishing we hadn't lost him.

[skb]

Agreed. But I wonder how he would conduct himself here, without a few arguments always ongoing.

80 before dinner and 94 this morning.

I'm not on any social media and this is the only forum I've ever been on. I found it quite by accident and don't even remember how, but boy, I'm ever so thankful I found this place. Keep doing your good work and don't bother about the rest.

154 this morning.

I am subscribed to Facebook but rarely go there for various reasons. Really, this chat room is the only one I use as it's the best I've seen for diabetics in so many ways. I've looked at a couple of others, but find this the friendliest both personally and technically while also being a great knowledge resource.

71 (3.93) this morning.  Weather remains really nice here and it should stay the same for the rest of the month.  There is a chance of thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday but only 20%.
I am a subscriber to Facebook but I really don't follow it much.  Facebook and Twitter are the fastest way to get local news, especially about wildfires and someone is posting right away about events in the area so that is the main reason I use them.  There was a member of the "old forum" that started a group on Facebook and I did drop in but I found it hard to follow so I didn't stay with it.  I think a lot of younger people nowadays don't even own a desktop computer and just use a phone or tablet.   Still, there are a lot of people that drop by here but they don't stay and I don't know what the answer is to that.  I drop in to the "old forum" once in a while and there are only a couple of people there that were there when I was active.  One thing we can count on is that things change.

91 (5.04) this morning.

Yesterday was another day of sunny skies in the morning and storms in the afternoon.  We got 2 more inches of rain for a total of 10 inches in two weeks.  It stormed again last night so that total might have risen.

My husband will be cleaning up storm damage for weeks yet.  My brother came yesterday to help him.  We would like the rain to stop for a while but Mother Nature has not heard our request obviously.

About a month ago I reduced my overall carb consumption even more and much to my surprise it seems to be working.  I've had to reduce my meal time insulin as well as my basal insulin.  Maybe I will even be lucky enough to shed a few pounds.

88 (4.88) this sunny morning, 93 (5.15) at bedtime last night. I think all the stress lately is hiking up my numbers some.

Boo has settled down, but Monday I will call the vet and see what she thinks.  The roof replacement is going to be terrible for him.  I'm imagining  at least a couple of weeks of disruption.

It sure does and the weight loss is an added bonus.

98 pre-dinner and 123 this morning. No apparent reason for that hike except a new box of strips,
