Blood sugar is weird.

.
.
My averages are: total is 165; before meal is 162; and after meal is 159.  The problem with the before meal average is I started including fasting tests.  I don't think that should go there.  It is too different, it's own category.  Actually, let me remove those and see... yes, before meal changes to 150 average.  Good enough averages while just starting back into things.  Still, my fasting blood sugars are so very high, though drop into the 140 range, plus or minus 20, but only after eating or drinking a ketonic.  As for keto, the strips indicate I am at 40, or moderate.  I do need more fat and less protein.  Proteins are my real sweet tooth craving (well, and donuts).

I'm working on things.  I believe I am going to attempt a single meal a day, with an earlier and later ketonic, if keeping all consumption within eight hours, for now.  Only tea before and after.  Knowing my blood sugar won't drop without food/fats, I'll begin consumption early... well, according to me whacked schedule.  If I have my first fatted ketonic tea now, a real meal in several hours, want or not, the last ketonic should be started by 6:00.

Since protein seems to be a necessary evil at this point, I really have to add fat.  A butter and cream sauce, in which to warm the protein, might be the trick.  Then, perhaps, slicing the meat, as a pasta replacement.  Just thinking out loud.  Less protein?  Yeah.  Sadly.  Although more fat is always a happy thing.  I am in keto, this should work.  I fear potassium deficiency, and water gain.  I seem to have enough water pill, and can probably afford at least the potassium.  If I can figure a way to town.  Ugh!
