Not better, yet.

At 181 fasting blood sugar was still high.  Consuming no coffee or sweetener yesterday, cutting calories, and keeping absolutely to keto, the strictest version of it, I had some hope this first read would be better.  I set an alarm for two hours, will check, eat, and dose then.  Why would my system be working flawlessly for nearly a month, only to fail without any changes to it?  However, that is something I have faced with all my illnesses, blind setbacks without rhyme or obvious cause.

Even if ejection fraction has improved, the heart is badly misshapen.  As well, other organs are at various stages of difficulty.  It is unknown if they can improve.  Some believe so, but without solid conviction.  Perhaps any of those organs simple require low function from time to time.  I don't have a better answer, especially after cutting all potential problems.  Well, except raising consumption, which I don't believe would help.

I will be adding even more of the righter foods, if not by a large amount.  A bit more fatty meat, more of the better veggies, a bit more chia, more frequency than volume.  Last month was a little tight.  This month is just a bit better.  Then next month is a bit better still.  Still tight, with a quarter of my income still being denied for political reasons.

Oh, I am trying various things for keto.  A seaweed snack, for instance.  The best I could find still used canola and another seed oil  (not the best) but along with olive oil.  All else is good.  You don't get much, perhaps zero carbs?  It is almost along the idea of eating spider webs, if salted with seawater, then having that flavor dehydrated into it.  At ~$9 for twenty packs, and it actually having a mildly satisfying affect as to hunger... plus it can be used as a potato chip replacement with a keto sandwich, it is sat.

The other thing I am trying is wild caught sardines.  They actually don't cost much more by the dozen.  But this first group is absolutely tops.  It wasn't excessively boiled in the can.  Of course, in olive oil.  If I could find it in it's own juices I would try it.  Quality sardines, wild caught and properly handled and processed, aren't the nast mushy excessively fishy tasting mongrels I used to know.  These are pristine delights, not requiring crackers.  I will be trying several other brands.  I wouldn't mind having a decent stock of these, enough for three packs a week for a year or two... 52 times... 104~156?  Yeah, I could do that.  And rotate, reorder after 50 are used.  A full selfcontained smaller meal.  Good with olives or pickles to ofset each others excesses.

Later.
