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

Good morning all. 6.4 for me. Average FBG for the last month 5.3, so unusually high, but at least I know why, and yes I do feel sorry for myself, so please allow me to whine. I've got very painfully infected gums around two teeth in upper as well as lower jaw. Can't afford to see a dentist, so my husband is having a go at me with a dental syringe and chlorhexidine, but sans anesthetic, unless you count 2 x paracetamol as anesthetic. :arghh: Add to that very little sleep and you get ... tadaaa 6.4. Thankfully my husband is a very skilled dental syringe + chlorhexidine artist, so hopefully he'll manage to help me. He's done it before.
Oh, I forget, even if I only slept for 3-4 hours, 1 kg of weight managed to catch me unaware while I did so. Go away Thursday.
 
good morning all :)

4.3 today

bright but very windy here, happens every time they put up bunting for the gala in the village, we always get at least one very windy day immediately afterwards ;)

I'm glad we went to the forest walk with the little dog yesterday, it was glorious, warm and sunny with just enough breeze.

Enjoy your day everyone :)

Straight out of a lifestyle supplement - gala in the village, walking the dog in the woods and low fbg. When you add in ninja rum'n raisin ice cream goddess a lesser man could pine wistfully or spend all day thinking if only. But the piece de resistance is your facility with power tools :arghh:

Good Lord that sounds like the stuff of nightmares - I’m surprised your numbers aren’t through the roof. Sending hugs your way.

Sorry to read that hugs to you, Paracetamol x 2 + Ibuprofen x 2 together is much more effective pain relief if you can take Ibuprofen that is.

Recommended to me by my dentist when I used to be able to afford to see one.
