Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

[AndBreathe]

Is it just me?

I have pretty much stopped posting on this thread. I know I have written longer than necessary, chatty posts on here in the past, but I'm finding this thread increasingly both off-topic, and difficult to follow. Is there any chance we could be mindful of the thread topic and maybe post around that, or at least more closely allied to that?

Obviously, it's not my thread, forum or anything like that. I'm just venting a little frustration.

Best to stick with topic related debate - titled headed threads please folks .
This way it is much easier to follow and track a lengthy discussion .

How do they do that Lou? You are just diet controlled at the moment aren't you.

You fast for 15hrs over night I did mine from 6pm ish till 9am ish and have a blood test then wait for results in the mean time I may have to go on insulin cause steroids are sending BG sky during the day and because of genetic disorder the can't use most of the tablets.

Some scary images there ... !

5.7 here this morning.

As if I didn't already have enough to do we had a punctured tyre on the car so I've had to put the emergency spare on and may have to fork out on a new tyre if it can't be repaired (great screw through the tyre, I'm not hopeful). At least it's not one of these cars that has no spare at all these days but a can of something that magically holds it together while you get to a tyre fitters (yeah right). Just what you want the day before going on holiday.

Happy Holidays tomorrow though.... have a blast...

Sounds more like @Dibbles1 had been through an industrial car crusher..... AND @Dibbles1 one is the most cheerful, happy one amongst us going off all the postings. Still remember the day that the "legs" were being repaired and the mechanic locked himself out and ended up leaving wheelchair on the porch - @Dibbles1 found it hilarious

I'm just feeling a bit this morning, nothing drastic, just fighting something or other I think and its leaving me ......

Crumbs... poor Dibbles... I hope you feel better soon though - and that it doesn't turn into anything worse...

 

[Susikav]

Yep, drugged driver drove straight through me from behind at 100mph.
I was riding a 750cc old style yamaha fazer......
Then Poole hospital missed most of my injuries......
But we won't go there Long story

No words Dibbles.... Lovely bike....

Thanks @Susikav at the moment I don't feel too bad - off to bed soon and hopefully my morning fasting won't be up - not usually too high even if i'm feeling grotty and I have just had some plain alpro yoghurt with chia and sunflower seeds....instead of eating it out of the pot like usual I got a nicely sized glass, poured in the yoghurt and then added the seeds (remembered some dark choc chips I've got in the baking cupboard but I didn't add any this time) sat down with it and used a smaller spoon so it lasted longer with that and chewing the seeds so felt much more satisfying

Well done and thanks @s_k_s

@Sable_Jan @Susikav can we please keep to the title of the thread and not divert away as its derailing the thread. Thanks.

Why the sudden interest from mods in what is a perfectly friendly and supportive thread? So what if there's a bit of random chat?

We have had a number of reported posts about the thread derailing - hence why Anna and myself have asked people to get back on track.

My post wasn't designed to bring moderator activity to the thread, just asking people to think about their post content a bit before posting. I'm as guilty as anyone for going off track.....

Threads meander ........ and don't we all?

Yes, they need control to some degree but I've seen pages upon pages that go nowhere. Yep, they might stick to the (or a) theme but that still might require comment somewhere IF it is beneficial for a member.

Do I care? No. After all, what would this forum be without massive support from those who stick around and offer advice? If they disappeared the knowledge lost is exactly that ...... loss.
