Mine was 5.7 this morning. I had a bad bout of leg cramps this morning, used a lot of magnesium spray. It did not stop for a while, usually the spray stops it almost immediately.

(I also use pink Himalayan sea salt) and take a magnesium supplement and drink an electrolyte replacement fluid (without sugar). I try to eat lots of vegs (low carb of course) and I eat cheese. I've always had tendency to leg cramps but haven't had any for a while (since I started the magnesium spray & supplements). My doctor just checked my potassium and sodium levels (they are fine). They only think is to keep my water consumption up. I'm considering increasing my carbs slightly as well (haven't been logging them lately). Any other ideas?

Hi @Chronicle_Cat I use to have a glass of salt water when I got the cramps from fasting. I also have hot Epsom Salt baths.

Good morning all. 5.8 today. Mild, breezy but dry. Long walk for me once it lightens up. I have been cutting back on the walks in the hope the the resistance training is better for BG. While the weather is fine, I shall make use of the opportunity. Must dig out my winter gear for the months ahead.
Hope everyones is well or on the mend. Hope your BG tows the party line. Have a great Tuesday.

Don't let a number "destroy" your soul @PenguinMum. Kitchen fires, arthritic knees and the stress of seeing a dear friend going through chemo are good enough reasons for higher levels. Granted, the readings may make a Bishop swear at times but soul destroying is having a loved one proudly say I have brought you a cup cake

Good morning all.

Fasting blood sugars were 4.8 today.

@Ziggy2017 -- Keeping fingers crossed for your results and hope they help find the right treatment for your cough.

Have a wonderful day everyone.

6.1 this morning.
I was in a bizarre multiverse last night. Took my blood at bedtime, hadn't eaten for nearly five hours and had a reading of 12.3. Scared the bejabuss out of me, and I have no reason for it, at least I'm back in range this morning. Enjoy the day

Went to bed on a 4.8 woke up on a 3.5 * gulp *

Worth retesting straight away if you get one like that - could be a dodgy strip or something on your finger. Or you could just sleep on it and test again in the morning, which you did and it worked out fine. Not sure I would sleep well without knowing. Glad you are back to normal.

I went to a lecture on last week by one of worlds leading experts on nutrition , she was talking about different levels in different people and that the numbers that doctors generally talk about are those minimally required . Some people require much more of certain types. I would get the numbers the doctor gave you and try to speak to someone who actually specialises in this field. It probably won't be easy because its all still being found out and we like to think of it all as being sorted. Best thoughts in all circumstances

What was her name? Sounds interesting.

I had one like that but it was followed when I rapidly repeatedly retested by error messages and ended up with meter being replaced. I remember the shock though!
