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

Morning All. An amazing 5.5 today at 0800. Really dont know why ( @ianpspurs maybe its fake news) anyway I’ll take it. My friend coming out of hospital today and I am transferring her to other friends tomorrow on my way home. The worst of this episode is over hopefully, only one to go.
Have a great Saturday everyone. Stsy well stay safe

Couldn't possibly be due to knee potentially easing and friend leaving hospital plus imminent return home could it @PenguinMum? Ockham's razor suggests that rather than fake news to me but really pleased for you. Safe journey and calmer waters for the next few 100 months:)
 
@shelley262 thanks so much for good wishes. I hope you have a great family celebration for your son. I can imagine a lot of baking going on today! Isnt it wonderful when you get them all together for any reason! Bedt wishes to you all

Thanks Ian. Knee pain now just a memory. I was so relieved to see my friends improvement yesterday. The calmer waters would be very welcome!
Reading Shelley’s conversation with you yesterday made me question whether my meals are too big especially supper and I do eat at 8pm. That is when my OH is back from work and its nice for us to catch up. What a balancing act this woe is!
Have a great Saturday.
 
Good morning all. 6 today. Just laxed off a bit too much yesterday. Heavy rain here, so home gym for me.
And like every football manager you look for a good performance and have to accept the results that follows. Hope everyone is well. Have a great Saturday.

Morning all. Up to 8.1 this morning!:( Blame the cold virus and the snacking that comes with it. Granny always used to say "Starve a fever, feed a cold!":D. Will try and be better behaved today.:angelic: Enjoy your weekend whatever you are doing.:)

its difficult isn’t it? I’ve found what works for me and you need to experiment a bit about what works for you. I find three smaller meals with a longish fast overnight do keep my bgs very very steady generally. I also find I’m rarely hungry on that regime. As you eat late have you thought of eating breakfast later? Not sure if will help or not but you could always experiment with eating more earlier and smaller portion later. Good luck we are all continuing self experiments

good morning all :)

4.3 today

very dismal looking outside, it's dry at the moment however and we will go out later to do some shopping :)
Need to stock up on low carb sausages, I usually buy a few packs and split them into suitable quantities and freeze them but the freezer has just been defrosted and is looking pretty bare ;)

Hope your weekend is treating you well everyone :)
