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

[alf_Josiah]

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who will miss today's festivities.

A 7.7 for me this morning, last night's road kill BBQ and reduced insulin dosage worked.

Enjoy today folks, if I was very brave I would take the fuse out of the TV plug telling Mrs J that it was broken and suggest she mows the lawns this morning......

6.8 today. More house viewings planned for this afternoon, which is irritating as I wanted to watch the wedding. Instead I’ll be cleaning like mad again but if I put enough elbow grease in, it might do my bg a bit of good ( and offset the stress). Have a lovely day all.

I will think of you @DJC3 in between the hot tub, barbeque, dipping into something like minimum 12 hours sport and trying to perfect pastrami in our new toys. It's a very hard life but I am prepared to take one for the team

5.5 for me today. Sunny start here, so a nice long walk beckons. Have a great day all.

 

[geefull]

sunny and forecast warm today here. I'm manning the charity shop this morning so I'll do a bit of stair climbing when it's quiet (all good exercise )

Wishing you all a good weekend.

Hot tub and barbeque sound wonderful. Good luck with the pastrami. I’ve just knocked over a pot of cream: it’s gone all over the hob, counter, down the cupboards and floor. I do hope things get better today.

That's what you might call a sticky situation, Freema! LOL

Hope the rest of the day goes better for you. I now know Katz deli type pastrami will take me some time to perfect since ideally I will brine my own brisket first, then instant pot it, roll in spices and leave in a fridge for 24 hrs then warm before carving!

Morning all 6.6 Highest its been for a week still good though

 

[ziggy_w]

Good morning all.

Blood sugars were 4.7 today.

@ianpspurs -- you have my admiration for all the work you put into making your own pastrami.

@ziggy_w I haven't made it yet but my research has told me that will get me best results. I haven't yet been to Katz's in NY so this will have to do in the meantime! Just had a homemade chocolate caramel bar which was brilliant having been left in the fridge a few days while I fasted. Your bg is looking good today - take care

Good morning everyone. A misty start here which usually means bright sunny day to follow at this time of year. 4.7 for me today.
72 hour fast done with good ending - bg 3.9 and ketones 2.9. Today our firstborn is 32 and is coming to see us with his son so all is good. Hope everyone has a great weekend and can either avoid or watch the wedding/sport as they wish. 2 top rugby union games, the cup final and 2 IPL games and a wedding for lady boys Needed to be a Bank Holiday pubs would have had a proper bonanza.

Your chocolate caramel bar sounds great too. Have you posted the recipe in the "What have you eaten today?" thread? If not, would you mind telling me how it's done. Btw, I am in awe of your fasting efforts. Great results.
