I've restarted testing today - after my mum was here and all the furore of the visit the last thing I wanted to do was to be leaping in and out doing too many tests and check. I was a bit shocked though to see that the blood scale was very high today, that was until I went to the toilet and passed a few large clots of blood which must be from some of the larger biopsies that they took. Hopefully I will have trace readings for a few days and then hopefully, once again, these will go away.
It is amazing that you can see the Ketones kick in when on the diet and these generally mean that the body is burning up some fat and that's good - you have to be careful though and make sure it isn't anything more disturbing. Interestingly, since I've been recording my Urine I've never had any glucose in my urine which is good news.
My blood readings were a little higher than I'd have like this morning but still way within boundaries for being non diabetic. Again I've had a couple of high readings and these tend to be associated with "cheat day" or "dieters gone wild" the one day a week that I can eat just about anything I want. Interestingly I have scaled this back as I don't like the rough feeling I get the next day. I also took a suggestion from Steve Kelley in which he suggested that the day after you could skip breakfast and make it like a fasting day. That seemed to work fine yesterday and I only felt hungry around 2 pm when I then had lunch.
