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

[Granny_grump_]

5.0 this wet but warmer morning. Had a lie in so didn't test till 9 AM.

No diabetic meds.

@JohnEGreen I see how you consistently get great BG reading and it's a goal,I've set myself Well Done you!
Mine may have a bit of a wait but when I'm well again mine will settle down! Hopefully! K

7.2 again still got my cold , it’s still cold and I’m still mumpy

@Goacher55 Thinking about you and the miserable colds lots of us get at this time of year, and hopefully you will soon be well again!k

 

[Granny_grump_]

Thanks Granny_grump. Sometimes the sun gets too much and gets on my nerve but its lovely. Wish you the same

@heavyd I understand about too much sunshine we don't go abroad when it's too hot has we can't stand it either early spring or late autumn is better for us,but I do love the sun on me I feel so much better. Less aches and pains and it certainly cheers me up,but you can get too much of a good thing. Are you back home just part of the year or is it more permanent? just wondering if you get away has well if you visit your family over here to get some relief from the very hot weather during the hottest time of your year.
If so it's funny in a way you trying to get away from the sun and we are trying to escape the rain and miserable weather and find the sun what are we like ! Anyway hopefully you will find some lovely shady spot to relax in,take care!K

@Freema love the New Avatar out with the old and in with the new, and those BG readings are fab. you must be so pleased with how your doing Congratulations to you, well deserved! K

yes I am very pleased with my number today... I slept like a baby for 10 hours ... maybe that is the reason ...
you are such a sweet person commenting on how everyone is doing, I am sure a lot of the new members in here need that very much... to many it is such a lonely ride and they have maybe noone else understanding the struggle in their life.......

today have to make a lot of christmas parcels and finish them with ribbons and other stuff... ... and then slowly find the energy for all the cleaning ... before the days with guests and partying

Good morning all. Blood sugars were 5.4 this morning.

@karen8967 -- How are you doing? The high blood sugars you've seen yesterday must have been a bit scary.
@paula121s -- Hope the steroid injection helps and you will have it sooner rather than later.

good afternoon all

4.4 today

late posting today

 

[Granny_grump_]

Well done on the weight loss excellent stuff

Thank you very much it's taken me around 12 months on and off the LCHF diet with intermittent fasting, but it's been the first time any diet has worked so well for me. And believe me I've tried every diet you can name, I just cannot believe I've achieved this weight loss Has for most of the time it was the most effortless diet I've ever done.
The times I lapsed was usually after I had been on holiday and found it a struggle to get back into it once I'd come off it, but now I've learned it's easier to stay focused and on track and have my treats only at weekends this gives me something to look forward too. K
