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

6.4 this morning which is ok after a couple of stressful days spent in hospital after seizures and a head injury. Glad to be home now.

Glad you seem to be feeling better, hugs to you.
 
Oh my @DJC3, how worrying that must have been. You take the very best care of yourself. Swipey was 4.6 @ 6.45 (right arm rapid from the Pavilion end) rising to 5.3 by 8.00 am. after chores and 2 x 700 mls Assam and W .....se almond milk. 83p a pop Wild Alaskan salmon in my salad seems a keeper for now.

Hug for the sleeplessness and step away from that 2nd coffee today young lady. Must be tempting to have that 2nd mug on rainy, cold days. Big mug? Mine are 700+ mls but only 1 coffee per day.
 
Been away... some not so great news on Mrs Hj health.

Some big numbers so last week went back on to fasting, nothing till lunch at 13:30. Seems to have had an effect.... last week anyway.

Yesterday 5.4
Today 5.4

Hope all are keeping well.

Good to see you back but sorry to hear about Mrs H J's health issue. Take care.
 
Oh, I was stressing about a pain in the guts, and a 7.8 fasting level until I read of @DJC3 and @hankjam ’s troubles.
Hope better times are ahead for you all.

6.3 today thank you all so much for your good wishes and sympathy, you really are such lovely people.

I’m appreciating my coffee even more this morning after the horrible cheap instant variety in hospital: a standard 250ml mug for me, but refilled several times.
@hankjam I was sorry to read about Mrs HJ’s health, very best wishes to you both. You’re doing a tremendous job of keeping your BG under control during this stress.
 
So glad to hear you are enjoying your coffee @DJC3 . Please take it easy although I know Mr C and the girls will be very supportive and watchful. My Swipey's PB first thing this morning was 4.9 - so, so but not an issue in the big scheme of things as shown here and in the wider world.

Hello everyone. 6.2 for me this morning. I was totally wiped out after my exams but managing to keep the blood sugar pretty steady in the 6s. Hope everyone is having a good day, lovely to see the sun here in London (finally).
