Fatty Liver

The last few mornings I have been having nice low readings on waking, today it was 5!!!

"For the majority of healthy individuals, normal blood sugar levels are as follows: Between 4.0 to 5.4 mmol/L (72 to 99 mg/dL) when fasting. Up to 7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL) 2 hours after eating."

It does go up later even though I dont have anything to eat, this is called the Dawn Phenomenon https://idmprogram.com/dawn-phenomenon-t2d-8/ but even those subsequent high readings are going down. This means my liver has released all the fat it can, which is VERY good news.

Corona has proved an added challenge, because I couldnt get the shopping I needed for a low carb diet I put on weight. I went from 13 stone 7 to 14 stone. I was also getting late morning readings 7-9 But I am pleased to report I have got back down to 13 stone 7 and my late morning readings are around 7 with early morning around 5.5.

Onwards and upwards

Corona and Plateaus

I have plateaued for months and then Corona lockdown made me put on weight. What else to do but cook and eat!  I did stay low carb but too much too often. But thankfully I have managed to start losing again
