Morning all

5.3 mmol on waking at 6.00 this Wednesday morning the tenth day of Christmas
Take care everyone and have the best Yuletide you can.

 

[Estragon]

Always end up being ill over Christmas every year

Yeah, that'll be Santa! Or a Reindeer, or . . . .

Ggggrrrr B.G. 7.7 mmol today, so my journey back into the 'Hive' was short lived. (Lasted just one day lol).
Was hovering around 10 mmol for a good few hours before bed, so I can't be too down on the 7.7mmol.
Today is another day and I'll be putting in big effort to get back in the hive.....
Good to see many folk starting to reduce the numbers, after a tricky festive season has passed.

Indeed it is.

Think "plateaus" rather than well-greased slides - I am. T2 is truly seductive. But hey, think just where you've come from - yeah?

Morning All 6.7 so clinging on! @JohnEGreen good to see you back @Dorro that really was a get out of jail card @Estragon and @Ashybang don’t fret it will all come good. Hugs to all who need them but esp @DEBBIESCOTT you really are going through the wringer what a nasty virus. Take care all

7.2 at 8 this morning. Finished off the last of the festive stuff last night. That tinsel takes a bit of chewing, I’ll have tinsilitis if I’m not careful!

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone x

 

[Dorro]

Morning all, hope we are all well?....

FBG of 4.8 this morning, calculated A1C of 5.6 quite happy with that given the over-indulgences of Christmas!

Looks like I'm on the right track myself, keep up the good work folks and try not to be disheartened when you don't get the results you would like, persistance and discipline will hopefully pay off eventually.

Good morning from California.
4.72 mmol/L 85 mg/d on Wednesday morning. Have a nice day everyone!

 

[mojo37]

Well, this afternoon an initial salutory depressing reading of 12.7, yes you read correctly, 12.7, then only 3 hours later a most favourable 6.3, will somebody enlighten me? Is it possible to half the BG within 3 hours?

Yes it is I had a 12.4 the other morning ( sat ) and it come down to 7.9 after breakfast ( with meds ) .Though the 12.4 FBG was a bit of a shock.

 

[gogobroom]

Morning all - not so sure this Dry January is doing me much good ...... BG at 6.50 upon waking was 8.9mmol/l , been hovering between 8 and 9 all morning. luckily I don't feel any different when its around that level, lets see what happens over the coming days.

Happy New year to you all, here's hoping we can all get these numbers under control in the coming months.

 

[Welshman1952]

Fbg of 8.4 this morning. Still running higher than I would like so doing a little exercise this pm

 

[mojo37]

Stuck in the 10's hoping for lower because been doing 3 miles of walking a day even in the stormy weather . 10.6 yesterday and 10.1 this morning .

 

[Estragon]

Stuck in the 10's .…. 10.6 yesterday and 10.1 this morning .

Aw @mojo37, this is horrid for you. What numbers do you “normally“ present?

 

[Bcgirl]

Well, results are in…a disappointing 48 (6.5). It’s super hard to deal,with the fact that I’m ultra low carb, don’t cheat and exercise daily. I’m normal weight, if not underweight, drink tons of water…..this sad pancreas just cannot handle this….
oh well..carry on
6.8 this morning, 5.5 before lunch

 

[Estragon]

this sad pancreas just cannot handle this….
oh well..carry on

I hear yah . . . Other than that, your health is good? No neuropathies? No eye issues? Your heart arteries are intact?

My health is great. I have zero issues. My A1C has only ever been 48….that was my diagnosis number, it went a wee bit lower over the last year and now back at the start line. Low carb is certainly not the “cure” for me but it does keep me kind of normal. Something i will discuss with my doctor, this is tough and travel is brutal….

 

[aylalake]

Forced myself awake and on my feet about 6am to stop an awful nightmare. Tested 7.5
Went back to bed and slept until 8am. Re-tested 5.8! I will take that one, thanks.

 

[Ashybang]

Good morning from California.
4.72 mmol/L 85 mg/d on Wednesday morning. Have a nice day everyone!

@Omar51
Wow pal.
Seems like you really have the numbers written in Granite, such is the durability and reliability of them.
You are on permanent repeat with a 4 point something , daily........
Brilliant example of what can be achieved.
Self discipline in the California sunshine, is of a very high standard.. . . . . . .
Well done good sir!

5.8 FBG this morning.

Nearing the end of my sojourn in the southern hemisphere (for now) so recklessly had 2 croissants for breakfast. It didn’t do anything too drastic on Libre. I have noticed that my body seems to tolerate more by way of carbs in the morning, as opposed to similar amounts in the evening. Timing appears to matter.

Have as good a day as you can, wherever you are.
