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

I’m convinced that both our spaniels, a 14 year old springer who gets really anxious if I’m low during the day and an 8 year old cocker who wakes me for a ‘cuddle ‘during the night if I’m low. Im convinced they were both Diabetes service dogs in previous lives. They were both adopted when they were 6 !

Hello mates,
At a couple of the other forums I've frequented there was a thread like this one where we all sorta checked in each day, with our first cup of coffee or tea, and reported our fasting or waking blood glucose level and some short comment about whether we're ok with it or if not - why not?...

It worked well as a sort of 'first thread to check' each morning and post to.

I'll start.

This morning was a 5.6mmol for me. That's about normal for me

What about you?

7.8 for me and only in my diet.
 
Morning...what a day yesterday...officially writing it off...worked in London...finished around 2:30pm...about to head for home...car keys had disappeared...stranded...had a lovely client who insisted her husband drive me home to get my spare then back to get my car...did just that...finally heading home...almost there exit road closed...diversions...two more roads closed...on the home straight...then clipped something in the road...tyre 'popped'...limped the last couple of hundred yards on a flat...home around 11pm...woke to a 5.7...relieved...surprised it wasn't double that...but...home in one piece...just one of those days I suppose:banghead::banghead::banghead:.

Morning all, and a 5.8 from me. Good liver! I think we're starting to get along better and it needs a name. Henceforth, my liver shall be known as Bob.

(and now to bimble off to get my INR done. Hopefully that's adjusting to my new healthy, veggier diet and I won't have to get that tested as frequently.)

Good luck first...my INR levels have been yo-yoing the last couple of months...finally seem to have got back some control...seems I only have to look in the wrong direction to unbalance them...now back at monthly appointments...relieved.

Amazing Goacher...but somehow not surprising...often wonder how they are so intuitive.
