Fasting BG 2017

88 this morning.

We got some much needed rain but in the form of severe thunderstorms.  One town close by got 3 inches of rain in just over one hour which flooded roads.

I also enjoy listening to birds singing, especially in the evening.  The American Robin sings a different song in the evening than she does in the mornings.  There is one who has eggs in a nest close to the house and she scolds loudly when we walk anywhere near her nest.

80 (4.42) this morning.  The weather guys were right again and we got to a high of 86° (30°C) yesterday and it is supposed to be hotter today.  They are over 100° (37.8°C) in town and should be over 110° (43.3°C) by the weekend.
@CCD, I would go ahead and try them even though they have expired.  I have used strips over a year past the expiration and they worked just fine.  If there is a problem it will show up by being quite a bit off from what you expect.

We had thunderstorms last night too, and when I let Fritz out in the early morning, it was raining a pretty good lick. Haven't been out to see if it washed the roads at all.

With our enormous wrap-around porch, we have birds nesting under it all the time, mostly wrens. And yes, we get very loud scoldings whenever we dare to go out there!

We don't bother them - figure they know better than we how to raise their young - but about once a year we'll find an entrepreneurial black snake making his way to the nest, and those guys we definitely discourage. They're our friends out here & we don't kill snakes, but we don't let them eat birds' eggs or baby birds either!

86 (4.76) this partly cloudy morning, 93 (5.15) at bedtime last night.

It got up to 67°F (19.4°C) today and the sky is very cloudy.  May see some rain tonight.

I have lots of birds here!  Sometimes their cries are so loud it is almost annoying. Especially the magpies with their babies crying to be fed.

110 this morning. I was up, at night, and had a little something, which seems to have helped with DP.

114 today morning. I got the strips refilled. Today while cleaning I found a box of 50 strips that expired in June 2016. I must have misplaced them while shifting houses. It was such a painful moment as i thought of all the money wasted.

@ccd, I would try and use a couple of them while comparing with the new lot. If they work fine, then there's no need to throw them out. Merely suggesting 

79 last evening and 91 this morning.

103 today morning. ate well yday and tested late.

I am not sure how you use expired strips but if i insert them, it shows an error saying strips expired or something. Anyone faced the same with Accucheck?

I think it may work only if you have the corresponding code chip that is inserted into the meter.

I remember many years ago my parents were visiting us and one night a whippoorwill got tuned up. Mom was so vexed that she said she came close to throwing a shoe out the window at it!

157 this morning.

I think SKB is right about the chip, unfortunately. A similar state of affairs with printer ink cartridges.

91 (5.04) this morning.  Well, 88° (31.1°C) yesterday and with a slight breeze it was quite comfortable.  Supposed to be hotter today and we should be in the 90's.  Hottest days look to be Sunday-Wednesday and then lowering a bit. Pushing 110-112° (43.3-44.4°C) in town so any trip there will be early in the morning. 
@CCD, sorry, I did not have to contend with that when I had a supply of expired strips and used them.  My meter did not check expiration date of the strip so it had no problem with it.  I think you probably are going to have to toss them out.
We also have a wide variety of birds here and some are quite pleasant to listen to but some are annoying.  We have a lot of doves and they have an ugly screech and of course the Blue Jays also screech.  A covey of Quail go through the yard every morning and they are fun to listen to as they are constantly jabbering back and forth to each other.

83 (4.93) this morning.

Baby birds seem to have the 'ability' to increase the volume of their voices so 'Mom" will be able to hear their cries.  I was reminded of this while at the Podiatrist office yesterday.  There was a toddler who threw a 'tantrum' and boy was she loud!!

110 this morning. I was up, at night, and had a little something, which seems to have helped with DP.

I do this myself, but it's also the reason I don't post numbers in this thread, because while having a bite in the night solves the DP problem, the morning number is no longer a 'fasting' number, since I've had food within less than eight hours.

One of the things that I really like about a forum like this is that you get input from a variety of people.  It underlines the fact that we are all different.  I had a problem with DP when I first started LCHF but as time went on it became less and less of a problem.  Now in the morning my liver seems to be content even if I am in the low 80's and I never eat anything after dinner.  If I am high in the morning it is from what I ate the night before.  If I am high 2 hours after dinner I will be high in the morning.
