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

[LindaManville]

I can't seem to get down. My fasting is 14.2 in the morning
16 to 22 2 hrs after meals. I'm on metformin and Victoria injection

8.2 today, which is not good. Fell off wagon a bit yesterday, lesson learnt!

 

[Ymdawd]

A 5.8 on struggling to get out of bed this morning.
Tis encouraging to see how well most of you are coping. Kind of cheers
me up a bit. Keep it up people.

5.2 at 0547.

Off to run before the rain, should be a day off but I like my Sunday morning 3k, I’ll rest tomorrow.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums on here.

5.2 wine involved again last night.
@LindaManville welcome, and don’t worry you will get there. Have you cut down on sugary, starchy food?

5.7 for me

 

[Estragon]

8.1 - This is getting real ugly. Yesterday I fasted for 22 hours. I skipped my early Metformin, wanted to see if any changes. Yesterday was 7.2, today is later so dunno. What I DO know I’m not impressed with 8.1 - seeesh.

Morning All. 6.2 but later today and gave in to 2 popadoms with my Tandoori t/a last night! @HeliGary really great progress. @Estragon hugs but you will get back to good numbers again. @LindaManville can I suggest you start a separate thread and you will get more help. We are only able to do “some chat” here. Best wishes.

5.4 at 6 AM and 5.4 just now. I broke my fast at 72 hours mark last night not because of anything sinister but plain old temptation. You see my daughter wanted to get some ingredient for the breakfast she is planning for her mum today (mother's day in the UK) and so we went to M&S and looking at "not just food but the M&S food" triggered the temptation so when we were back home in order to avoid eating anything silly I broke my fast with lot of cheese(100gms), some broccoli and swede chips.

@Estragon 8.1 after a 22 hour fast is high but two questions. How was it to fast...were you feeling hungry all the time? Second, how much water or fluids did you consume in those 22 hours?

Have a great day everyone and a very happy mother's day to all mums here.

A whopping 9.7 this morning I keep waking up at 4am ish and not sure if this is impacting on my numbers or not .

5.2 this morning

Hello all,

4.9 today. Have been goofing off a bit yesterday, way too much too eat and also skipped the exercise. Can usually get away with this for one day, but not two. So, better apply some discipline today.

@HeliGary -- I'm in awe of your achievements. Well done.
@Pipp -- Glad you got a good night's sleep in last night. Great fasting levels.
@Daphne917 -- Great to see you posting on this thread. Brilliant fbgs btw.

Have a great weekend, everyone.

Thanks @ziggy_w I tend to be intermittent with my postings but catch up occasionally.

5.8, new needle!

C'est la guerre.....

edit for stats update:
Weight: 73.5 kg, no change, this is good as doing a bit breakfast, see other thread
BP: 115 / 66, no change, this is good as I was wondering... some light headed moments.

Weight every two weeks, BP every four weeks.

4.3 Have a great Sunday.

Hi, what do you mean “How was it to fast...” after I pushed through normal allotted BF, I just cracked on. No, I didn’t fell hungry all the time. I consumed as much as I was aware I wanted/needed. I didn’t push water? I was peeing.

Good morning all.

Up late at night (or rather early morning) and then slept in a bit today. Fbg was 4.6 today.

Happy Mother's day, everyone.

69 mg/dl which translates to 3.9 i think. Have a great weekend morning!
