My heart goes out to you as you are fighting SO HARD to beat cancer and doing everything you know to do. I am praying you win the battle.
I read your blog too, and I have been praying for you and really pray you win this battle, for yourself, your hubby and your dear 4 children as well, God Bless, and know that many of us here care, and are thinking of you and praying for you.
Thanks!
I hope to inspire people, and to also draw them closer to God. I know how difficult a journey this can be.
Please feel free to share my blog with anyone who you think may benefit from it.

Starting a new fast today.
I wasn’t happy with my after lunch numbers, so hopefully my after supper numbers will be better. I really wasn’t happy with my before supper readings. I guess my lunch at Applebee’s wasn’t as good as it could have been (maybe I should have had some MCT oil after)

So this day really didn’t go well IMO.
This is what my two feasting days looked like before the fast. I blame the undesirable results on the large amounts of protein. Each day had two meals.
I broke my fast last night and this morning, about 1 ½ hours after getting up, I checked my numbers. Much better than expected!

Started another fast last night. I was happy with my readings after supper, but not so happy with my morning readings. I’m assuming that the morning low BK and high BG was a rebound effect of very low glucose overnight.
