Fasting isn't always fun.

.

It started off a bit difficult.  It has gotten better.  Knowing it is a short, two day, fast made it easier, but it was already getting easier for no known reason.  Waking to seeming violence may have ended with hunger.  First adrenaline, then backing that down... extra hunger from the bodily functions.

Fasting blood sugar was 213, then dropped to 191.  I decided to try the fasting version of my warm tea ketonics.  It includes a ketone crystal mix, taurine, and an electrolyte powder.  All on trial, but supposed to be carb and calorie free.  I'll test in an hour, and then two.  If it's higher in two then one hours, I'll check again in three hours.  I am hoping for no, or a negligible rise.  Anything over fifteen and I'll begin checking which item it might be.  Labels simply can't be trusted anymore if blood sugar can just go squirrelly.

I haven't gotten to work.  Cold, baby.  I turned up the heat and dressed warmer.  About to add a jacket.  Sometimes it might be health, or hunger, or other such.  All I know is I won't work until I warm up a bit.  The warm tea should help.  I just can't get to things while so cold.  Taurine is supposed to help with energy while fasting.

Later.

Good, so far.  I am just finishing the ketonic.  Still, it's been an hour since I started.  It's probably all good.  Blood sugar is 187 or a four point drop.  I'll give it another hour.  If there is no, or serious, swing up, I'll call it good.  I will still check from time to time.  It's how I do.  Trust but verify, continually.  You can never be sure enough.

Still cold.  More hot tea, maybe a few more points on the furnace.  Later.

Good.  Blood sugar dropped to 178, down nine more points.  I won't bother with a three hour check.  Three hours out I may check again.  Yes, I did have liquid sucralose with the hot tea.  It was carefully dosed at four drops in two quarts.  So, yes, occasionally, if dosed down.  Sometimes I simply can't drink without it.

Still so cold.  Tending the ducks, I read the thermometer... below zero, F.  The light wasn't good so I couldn't make an exact read.  I don't think the cold is anything but health problems.  Cold?  I am freezing.
