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

Mine where 13.3. went to bed on a 6.2. It's a very sad time at the moment as I lost my dad suddenly three weeks ago. It's his requiem mass today. We received him into his church last night where he was deacon.

Usually popping up in the late 4's early 5's before. That's after I changed my diet completely and read the diabetes solution by the grand diabetes master that is dr.richard Bernstein.

Sorry for your loss.
Keep going with using bernstein's aid. A useful book to keep.

It's an exercise bike with just the seat and peddles. My mum gave it to me. Probs a qvc bargain. Haha!!

Will try and grab a link as it wouldn't take my pic as too big, it's very basic. Effected for me though in helping get moving.

I use it instead of my after dinner walk in the evening if it's raining or just need to get my insulin working if I'm having a lazy day.

Thanks for the information if it works for you it could work for others worth looking into this perhaps k
 
Non-chatty site abandoned due to anticipation of a virtual slapped wrist...6.8 yesterday am...and a few 6s this week which is a step back from the nice wee 5s I was getting. I may have let my carb intake sneak up a teeny bit...so i'll see if I can make a dent in it. Nice to see some other I have really found helpful and just nice in general have made the chat jump too.

I had to hunt the thread down too (on Diabetes Discussions) rather than keep using the link posted on the other thread...and I thought about just keeping to the other thread but clearly only numbers are really wanted there. I think I'm on this one now anyway.

Good morning all
Woke up at 4,9, which dropped to to 4,7 following an hour's walking.

Bonjour, bonjour, vous avez dormi toute la nuit. Bonjour, bonjour à vous et vous et vous et vous. This morning the diabetic spider in the corner of my bathroom wove a diabetic web and the number in the middle was a flat 3.0mmols. My meter agreed. I'm going dog walking and then to work. Luvverley

Bore da @Diabeticliberty
I look forward to reading your posts! I shall have to keep a keen eye open for any psychic creatures lurking around my home! So useful!!
 
Καλημέρα σε σας όλα τα καλά μπολ μου πλούσιος νόστιμο κλέφτικο αρνί. This morning I picked a shell from the beach of the Endocrine Sea. I did the right thing and of course stuck it to my ear and the shell spoke to me with a lilting voice I heard 3.3mmols. These psychedelic drugs are kinda groovy baby.,now I must walk my little doggie and toddle off to work. May you all have that Friday feeling :)

Hi @debrasue I'm posting on the morning FBG 'chatty' thread! Just realised it's changed -

Hope all is well with you? I took a break over summer but back on track now. Off to my youngest brother's wedding today - it's tomorrow and I'm the best man so need to keep off the carbs so my head is clear! Oh, need to write a speech too ;)

Have a great day x

With respect, Contralto, I think you may be missing the point.

I don't see this initiative as "stressing" or "manners policing". I see it as structuring the website to meet everyone's needs. You wouldn't go to the library if you wanted to buy a loaf of bread, would you? This website is a living, evolving community and it makes sense to provide a proper structure, so that members know where to go to find exactly what they're looking for. If a website ceases to meet the needs of its members, they will drift away and the site will die.

Personally, due to other commitments I frequently find myself with very little time in the mornings. It's important for me to take and record my FBG to help me stay on track, but equally I want to be able to support other members through the ratings system, applauding a run of good consistent readings or commiserating with an unexplained dip. Having a thread which is succinct and to the point helps me to do this and still meet my other morning obligations. I can then indulge in chatting and socialising with other members in the evenings on one of the specific 'chat' threads, when I have more time.

Of course, other members want to record their FBGs and enjoy reaching out for a chat at the same time. I applaud this, of course, and this new structure is designed to allow members to do exactly that.

I say, well done, Mods, for identifying a need and applying an intelligent solution!

(FBG 5.3 today :))
