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

[ianpspurs]

Not a great start to potentially a chastening day. Schoolboy error with choice of sauce for pheasant produced a 5,6 this a.m (sherry and mustard - sherry- you clownshoe); Julie couldn't reach the switch to turn on all the lights after 1 bulb blew last night (I was asleep) so no light; Spurs will probably get their *rses handed to them tonight (like they did when my son treated me to very nice tickets).

5.0 for me have a good day everyone

 

[UserABC2021]

6.3 to start the week. My app declares that 'it feels like -3' outside, I have no intention of proving or disproving at the moment. Coffee and hug the radiator

Good morning folks.

Blood sugars were 5.2 today.

Have a fabulous day all.

I've spent a large part of my life in 'foreign climes' but in my early to teen years it was common to have snow Oct-Nov and then again Jan-Mar. The region is higher than people think (see map) with some areas exceeding the 1000ft mark.

Just to give some idea of the relative difference - what is this sea level of which you talk? Also, frost and needing to break ice on top of chickens water - and so it begins

We have been OK since 1947


This is slightly higher than we are. That is the setting for Goodnight Mister Tom

 

[ianpspurs]

To be absolutely precise we are here - a massive 46 ft above sea level. @ziggy_w those 3 images flesh out the whereabouts I am in the UK - nicely isolated thanks

Down a bit from yesterday @ 6.1 still higher than I like though.

Morning everyone how are you all doing today? Hope everyone is well and if not get well soon hope you all have a good day. My FBG today is 7.3

 

[Canvaspic]

Good morning all. 5.5 this am. Cool and bright here, but no frost ( 3 degC ) . Home gym for me.
Need to get my vehicle sorted today.
Hope everyone is well, caught enough of sleep. Hope your BG is fantastic. Have a great Monday.

6.0 at 8:40

4.8 this morning. And I’m freezing! I’m sure I feel the cold more now I have less body insulation to keep me warm Hoping the car will de-ice itself by the time we need to go out on today’s half term adventure!

5.9 reflects dinner out last night with wine. It was tapas but you really don't know exactly what's in the ingredients. It was very nice I might add so probably sugar in there somewhere!

I did my home hba1c test Saturday using a1cnow kit. (10 purchased for £117). I have my next DN appointment to have lab test in November and the figure shows I'm on track for a good result. 33. Thrilled if it is as my last one in May was 41. I'm also tracking on the mysugr app and that estimates 34.1. Thrilled with that too.

Today I'm dropping my grandaughter off at nursery after having her for a few days whilst her mum went to enjoy her 30th birthday present (long weekend in Benidorm!). Then a quick tidy up and meeting my friend for lunch. She has had a terrible few years with her health and is still battling along. But she is always positive and cheerful. I'm taking her for lunch to celebrate her 70th.

No reply from my DN from an email i sent a week ago. I hope she is on leave and not ignoring me!

Happy Monday folks x

Morning everyone, hope you are all warm and toasty as the cold snap begins, a truly shocking 11.2 this morning after a weekend of stable readings as well. The unpredictability train that is diabetes rumbles on.


take care everyone.

The reason I love it here - spot the people likely to bother me @Goonergal and @DJC3 this is the reason I hated London Camberwell and SE25 could not have been more different. Selsdon, near the nature reserve, was nearly bearable

Happy Monday, 4.1 today, keep safe and well.
