@larand I've never been below 70 mg/dL before, so I don't really have a reference point to go on. Pretty sure I'm breaking this fast today, though, as I'd rather be home when I do it. Less dangerous that way.

@indigo When I started this fast, I was at 99 mg/dL. So it's definitely come down. And it's not shocking, since after your glycogen stores deplete (after 24-36 hours, if I recall correctly), you're basically relying on gluconeogenesis for your glucose needs.

@jextxadore I use Outlook on the Mac all the time (for corporate email), and I quite like it.
@larand When I set up this glucometer, I could configure what a "low" was. The default is 70 mg/dL and I went with that.
There is some debate about what a "dangerous" low is. Regardless, when I started fasting a more than a year ago, I stepped up my blood glucose monitoring to make sure it didn't get too low.
I've had readings in the 70s before, but this is my first legit one below 70. Of course, this is also the first time I've fasted for more than 3 days (currently at 84 hours).

This is is what 82 hours of Fasting does to my #bgnow. Had to check twice just to make sure. #diabetes
@matigo given I'm traveling on Wednesday, I'm pretty sure I should break my fast tomorrow. Just in case my digestion has an issue.
@matigo to be honest, I'm surprised at how easy it is. Granted, I am supplementing my electrolytes (sodium, potassium, and magnesium) which I'm sure helped.
72 Hours of Fasting and still going. Pretty sure I will break this tomorrow but still, feeling quite accomplished.
@matigo Coffee, tea, water, and broth (for the electrolytes). Weird thinking that I haven't eaten since Friday and, yet, totally not hungry.

@larand Eh why not. Always good to have a few places to observe the Fediverse from.
