As somone who is NOT diabetic, the only CGM I’ve been able to get (in the US) is the FreeStyle Libre. Even with insurance its a bit pricy, but worth it for my needs. With insurance the reader cost $65 (i think) and the sensors are $37 each (for a 14-day sensor).
Do not kick me out of the carnivore club- going to eat an apple

This seems very fair to me!! He seems to really be a sweetie, and you seem very happy together, April, so just tell him this and I am sure he will be cooperative =)).
Do your two sons do Keto? They must be really impressed with all your achievements =).

I celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas 
I am a Christian but my heritage is Jewish, so we now celebrate both. We don’t celebrate all of the Jewish holidays, but we do see their importance.

Describe this apple that you will eat. 
? 
?
Will it be a paleo apple.
Will it be golden, green or red?
Will it be arrow shot?
From the top of someone’s head?
Will… yum, do tell.
Will it be in the shade?
Or in the sun dapple?
This apple

I’d go with having a tiny bit of honey with the apple. A small drop shouldn’t hurt things in the long run And honey is essential to Rosh Hashana anyway.

I’m carnivore and eat an apple from time to time that’s growing wild on a tree. That means in September I get apples. This applies to strawberries in June, raspberries and blueberries in July, and blackberries in August. The rest of the year I don’t touch plants at all.

I ate that apple @Kage @Ilana_Rose @KetoCancerMom
So delicious. Like i said in the vid, in the past I’d throw an apple in my lunch to make it healthier. It’s not what I wanted. And I ate it really wanting a candybar instead.
This time? It was a goddamn treat. I really wanted the apple and I would have gladly turned my nose up at a candybar. It tasted phenomenal! And @Ilana_Rose, just like you, I am going to start incorporating a few seasonal local fruits and veggies. Not alot. But not because I am afraid of it making my physique go down the drain or even the bloat I sometimes experience with veggies ( i can deal with it as it’s temporary and I won’t eat veggies everyday). But I started to feel a tiny, tiny bit of my binge self returning.I Hate that sugar has this effect on me. Even the natural sugars in fruits. But it does. Luckily letting my bf know this is a problem for me, he fully supports me and when I told him, -“this must be my last apple today”, he didn’t say, “that’s crazy! These are healthy, have another!” During the winter I won’t partake but the spring to fall? I see that as a good time to incorporate local produce. But to not lead me into binging on fruit I will only buy enough for that day only.Nothing extra. Btw, My physique looked exactly the same the day after. Nothing changed. The world did not end @Kage. You were right! In fact, it looks much better. I am fine going back to carnivore. Because now I know when I eat fruit and veggies, they will be enjoyable again , not something I need to do because the food pyramid says so.
