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

5.7 today @ 0800 which I'm happy with given that I ate some cheese and crackers at midnight

After dinner glass of red wine seems to help.... or just displace.... never too sure!

As long as you enjoyed it all good. I'm very suspicious of wine - says the man with >200 bottles and currently drinking 700 mls bulletproof coffee: mct oil, butter, double cream. I blame the ear bashing about not using mct oil or nutri bullet. The things we do for love - or a quiet life

That bulletproof sounds like corrugated iron!

5.2 today

6.2 which seems to be the new normal for me.
Still in the 5s club @PenguinMum - great stuff.

You will get there. I find that 6s stick and take a while to shift.

That reminds me of a song Starless and Bible Black by King Crimson.

3.8

Since you are type 1 are you ok with that?

Well it was 4.4 before bed so I should have probably eaten something but I'm happy that it was overall stable. No big jump

6.7 this morning. If y'all knew what I'd eaten last night you'd probably tell me to shake the meter up and stick again.

Good.

I like your avatar pic.

4.4 but 1st scan with my new libre and it can tend to read low although it was early (@6am) and our Dawn hadn't time to kick in. ;-)

It was 5.5 by 10.05am having had a coffee and cream

Agree with you - no idea if it’s helpful or displacement but I’ll drink it either way because I really enjoy it.
Great fbg by the way, however you arrived at it.

Haha whatever it was it did you the world of good. it’s a great result, well done!

Still good @Debandez. Dawn seems to last from about 7am until 1pm around here!!

Thank you. Yes that certainly seems to be happening at the moment. I guess it’ll move in it’s own good time.

Good morning all.

4.8 for me today.

@DJC3 -- You are such a kind person and always so supportive of others. As to fasting blood sugars, I have noticed that for me, it helps if I don't eat too much at night (though, of course, that doesn't mean I always manage to do this).

What a lovely thing to say Ziggy thank you. I think you’re right about evening eating - the earlier the better, but it doesn’t always fit in with the rest of the family coming home from work. ( and I’m not organised enough to manage it half the time)
