Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

Morning All

7.4 for me today

 

[JohnEGreen]

4.7 this morning. Must add that of recent times is quite low for me.

Accu-chek mobile. Its compact and as discreet as I can get with 2 young kids. I've got a next usb too but prefer all-in-one system. Next rates me a fraction higher.

What I like about the Accu-chek Mobile no used strips or lancets littering up the place.

 

[JohnEGreen]

A fbg of 9.6 WHAT!
I had cod (with batter and a few too many chips) at lunchtime then a high protein main meal to correct carb craving.
Just a reminder that if not on strong painkillers that red wine may have helped.
Also just proves how chips and batter can cause so much mayhem for me.
Well as if the press hadn't told me that already - years ago, before I was diagnosed.
Well I'll put it down to an old fool's school boy (girl) error.
Back to no batter and chips for life! The cod was the best part anyway.

I dowse them in apple cider vinegar seems to help.

[JohnEGreen]

Good morning everyone. A hazy morning due to the forest fires and weather advisory warning is on, not to venture out. It is 5.1 fbs from me.

Stay in stay safe.

Far safer around toddlers too.

Oh pants!
Have you ever tried any of the low carb fish and chips substitutes. Not sure about this one as it uses turnip for the chips: https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/low-carb-fish-nchips

Thanks @dunelm . I've never been a chip person anyway. Fish however, is a different ballgame!
I'm just annoyed I ate something which causes such mayhem when its not even something I find hugely yummy. It was bought for me as a treat and to enjoy in peace. (No kids to share with.) To be honest it left me very uncomfortable and bloated in the stomach. Never again. No great sadness

Good morning everyone. Tested with right index finger and it read 4.4. Retested on right index and it was 5.3. Bewildered and puzzled.

Let us put it this way, it was a treat and you enjoyed it. I had it too but did not test as I was on vacation.

6.3 at 8:00 didn´t measure right away , stressed a bit in packing equipment for a beach-trip 45 km away by bus at 8:50 we had a wonderfull day , just came back ...only bad thing it was the clouds were many and the temperatur was only 15 degrees celsius when we arrived... very chilly, the weather forecast promsed the first real summer day in july today.. well they failed... did get a little sun in the face and a very big freshly baked filled ice cream cone pretending it was summer at least.

4.9 at 5:10 am.

 

[Polgara]

Catching up the last two days - 5.2 yesterday and 5.3 today.

Never got a chance to have my possibly broken toe looked at as Ofsted phoned Monday morning, and I've spent the last 3 days doing insane amounts of work at school. All over now - (apparently I'm "jolly good") - and as toe is feeling a bit better though still painful, seems no point in having it looked at now.

6.9 I'm shocked at this number this morning and can't understand why it is so high .
Could be the heat ?
On a good note I have lost another 7lb in the last 2 weeks,
I am down just over 40lbs in total

Fab news regarding the weight. Well done.
