@DJC3 best wishes for new job. @PenguinMum hugs for disappointing run of bgs. Swipey = 4.7 today. If I could trust Swipey I would be about ok with that.

5.3 today, so improvement over yesterday which is good

6.5 for me this morning. After a non-fasting day this number isn't alarming though I would have liked something in 5 considering I have been such a good boy. Fasting day today so it will come down.

Have a lovely day everyone.

That’s outstanding! Very well done. You’re doing what I do and have done, testing my Boundaries and being aware of the pitfalls. I bet that FnC was tasty !

It was very nice .

4.9

It took several attempts to get any blood at all. Hands were warm, but no blood. In the end I had to put the lancet setting to 5. Usually 3 will do. Even then it was like drawing blood from a stone.

Do any of you struggle to get blood in the mornings. If so what do you do about it.

Were you dehydrated because that can make a difference .

Happy birthday - just say World Leading and walk away from the meter.

Good morning all.

Fasting levels were 5.2 yesterday and 4.6 today (after some wine last night).

@Ryhia -- Hugs for the unexplained higher levels lately.
@PenguinMum and @DJC3 -- Also a big hug from me. So very frustrating.

Do you find your FBG is lower if you have wine the night before?

5.9 this morning First day in my new job so I’m happy to have a 5 of any description as I’m a bit nervous about it.

Congratulations and good luck with the new job! I am sure you will be great at it x

6.3. Meter stuck.

5.7 today. I forgot to take it yesterday. Forgot I was diabetic until after my first coffee. It was surreal. I was a normal person for ten minutes.

Happy Birthday @mojo37 and best of luck @DJC3 on the first day of your new job.

Welcome @RachelK. My fbg was 5.4 after the roast beef and Yorkshire. Stayed in the low 4s from about 4.00 pm - mealtime - to 3.30 - 4.45 am - trend wake up. Exercise bike session, glass of red with meal and double bourbon contained the spike well enough.

Thank you for the welcome!

This morning I had an awesome reading of 5 but I have essentially been doing keto in combination with walking 2+hrs a day to get that.
