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

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who will bark at the postman today.

Well today a 5.6 crawled it's way out of the meter, then demanded a koffy, cheeky or what?
Today folks it's a be positive day, with the additional " Say something nice " to somebody you don't like, it'll drive them crazy hehehehe
Must go the postman is due and it's my turn chase him down the drive barking as I go.

On the one hand, what friendly neighbours. On the other hand as I get older I see why I so much liked Robert Frost at school - good fences make good neighbours. You problems aren't with errant livestock just errant chocolate.:)

They are brilliant neighbours & good friends Ian...we have connecting garden gates between our respective houses...they are always open...I am an ex-Londoner...the longer I lived there the more our neighbourhood changed...it was an up & coming area...as old neighbours moved out...money moved in...by the time I sold up I barely new who my 'neighbours' were sadly.

Morning...I have the worse neighbours ever...last night they arrived bearing home made chocolate cake & Prosecco...what could I do?...so two glasses of Prosecco...lots of laughing & a slice of home made chocolate cake covered with Cadburys flake & double decker pieces I managed to regain my control & refuse further offerings...woke to an undeserved relieving 6.2

Morning all cough is much better these last few days so I may not need to get a bronchoscopy on my lungs :D today I woke up and had a bit of a scare i scanned with the libre and came up as 2.8 but I’m acctually 4.2 so I’m ok since I’m feeling better today I’m going to go see my nanny and I’m going with my mum to swap her car she’s getting a blue fiat 500. Enjoy your day everyone

Morning all a very surprising 13.2 so I am officially on the unpredictability train!! unless I am starting with a cold, I get one at this time every year, which will explain the high readings. So it's now time to play catch up! On a good note though no hypo last night!!

Take care everyone.

@johnpol my madam of a BG has been giving me the run around over the last few days too and wondered the same about a cold. Today, we are at an acceptable 5.8. Hope we both go lower but not too low.

Thanks @DJC3 - already a pooshow from data - one of the unintended consequences of "keeping an eye on things" One trick will be working out something in this WOE that comes close to comfort food. The other will be holding back my urge to punish myself on the exercise machines - need to walk around all day muttering "bigger picture":arghh::arghh:
@PenguinMum thought I'd bottomed out then you remind me of clocks changing and my absolute incomprehension of that time of year/these 2 seasons:bigtears::bigtears::bigtears::bigtears:

Welcome @Marpa. Looking forward to your posts here in gin central:angelic:
@Emma_369 the rise will be absorbed into the many readings you will take. The memory of your daughter's? pleasure will never go.
