What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

[DaftThoughts]

It was a 4.9 for me at 7am x

That sounds good! Are you not happy with that reading?

No as my most recent hba1c was 30 and they wanted my waking levels up a bit as hadn't had a reading above 5 on waking in like 4-5 weeks x

Thank you and yes, all the photos I share are my own. I amuse myself during morning walks by photographing anything that catches my eye as interesting.

You love in a beautiful place! Your walks must be so joyful

6.8
Not too bad considering I'm not getting consistent sleep pattern

Do you feel fine with 3,5?

I would feel a lot worse if my blood was high. I wouldn't begin to even contemplate driving at 3.5mmols but for walking my dawg it is pretty much ok.

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Through my photographs you are catching glimpses of my country through my own eyes, the eyes of someone who is looking for beauty.

That is what my walks are to me, an opportunity to slow down enough to take notice of all the things we normally pass by without paying any any attention. A kind of reconnecting with the land, the world and ultimately life itself. Yes it is a source of joy.

Today I woke up too late to take a morning walk so I decided to take a night walk instead. Same route completely different ambience.

For one smells become a lot more noticeable.

Jasmin is a delicate and beatiful scent often encountered as I walk past neighbours gardens (usually Jasmin is planted by the front gate to greet visitors) , much stronger at night than during the day.

Nobody could accuse the scent of this plant of being subtle.

You can smell Cestrum Nocturnum the Queen of the Night from tens of meters away. Not for everyone perhaps but I have grown to love it.

Photographing flowers at nighttime proves a different experience

I may be passionate about my own country but beauty can be found in all countries, as long as we open our eyes to it.

Are you at risk of/experiencing hypos?

5.9 at 6:00 am.

No nocturnal Possum visits during the night I am happy to say.

It must be my language skills -- I though black referred to coffee.

It refers to both black tea and black coffee in Australia, this is what I drink.

Hi @pavlosn
Your photos are beautiful... I agree ... beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and we all see things in a slightly different way! Vive la difference! We have lovely scenic spots here in the West of Wales (Pembrokeshire). We also have rather high, gusts of wind which would ruin those delicate flowers!
I will try to load a photo with my morning FBG entry not sure why, but when I load a photo to a thread, it usually ends up sideways then I get a crick in my neck looking at the results!!
Sorry folks.... more than a little chat!! and no BG entry either

7.0 then 1hr later after a cup of brown 10.2 what do I need to do

Are you on any other meds you take in the morning?

 

[pleinster]

6.8 yesterday am for me...I think this jump from 5.7 the day before is probably down to something other than things that are easily explained...such as things that are difficult to explain...just coz it was a Sunday and the cat didn't sleep at the end of the bed as long as the day before.....or something.

I gazed into the sky this morning at the great diabetic celestial heavenly bodies and after wiping the bird poo from my eye dropped on me by a seagull with a sarcastic streak and an aim akin to Wing Commander Guy Gibson the spheres aligned kinda 3.4mmols stylee. Time to walk my pooch and then a wonderful Monday morning at work - NOT!!!!!! May you all have a wonderful week.

To my eternal shame I have never visited Wales. Furthest west I have been in the UK is Weston-super-Mare. Now to someone who had never seen a tide in his life that was a shock as was the greyish color of the sea

Figs - forbidden fruit these days
