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

[DJC3]

4.8 on xdrip and 3.4 on libre... and at the moment 59 hrs 30 minutes into fasting so a lower reading was expected and is in fact quite well deserved, even if I say so myself

@DJC3 you were right about electrolytes and headache... somehow I thought I had taken the electrolyte tablet day before but I found later yesterday that the tablet I was meant to take was sitting on the countertop.

Glad you found the culprit. I do that often in the summer when I forget to take antihistamines, and only remember when I’ve spent a whole day sneezing!

True. More Nolens than volens though.

5.3 for me. Had a takeaway curry for the 1st time since being diagnosed last night. No rice, but had 1 poppadom. No spikes afterwards.

Great result!

5.4 this morning.

Horrible morning spikes upon waking! I'd love to have the figures lots of you get first thing

@Lelliee early days and going low carb takes time to work through.
Wish you good.

Did no exercise yesterday, over ate in the evening , had 2 glasses of wine. Slept badly, very thirsty but

I give up trying to understand this diabetes malarkey. Yesterday did no exercise whatsoever, have a bit of a cold and had a very bad night, waking at 4 and going back to sleep at 6 :30. Finally had to get up at 8:30 feeling dreadful...
But bg of 4.7, second best ever yet!!!

It takes some working out that's for sure

A week of 7's and 8's with a nasty 9.5 this am

Finished my 72 hours fast and while it went swimmingly, by the end of it I was actually feeling quite hungry as well. BG was 4.6 a minute back on xdrip as well as finger prick but I have just finished eating like 20 minutes back so need to wait I guess to see if it rises a lot in next hour or so.... It has been hovering in 4s and 5s most of today even though I was quite active whole day as can be seen on the graph for last 24 hrs...


I was very hungry and I fear I may have eaten more than what I normally eat but we will see what happens tomorrow morning... I may give a skip to breakfast and have lunch directly if readings are a bit higher or I am not feeling hungry or both... will give a gap of 14 hrs anyway.

Edited to add... BG after 2 hrs was 6 and 3 hrs is 5.3 and a downward trend so hopefully that's all good...off to bed filled with optimism

Ah I changed mine too today... so far bizarrely it is matching point for point to finger prick... thats a first

 

[mojo37]

8.3 this am

 

[Andydragon]

4.3 today

 

[Chriztopher]

4.8 today which I am very happy with

 

[hankjam]

5.5

 

[karen8967]

5.7 for me

 

[karen8967]

 

[nutribolt]

5.5 on libre and 5.5 on finger prick... thats not bad at all considering I felt I overate yesterday after breaking the 72 hours fast...

Have a great start of the week everyone.
