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

[ianpspurs]

Crikey! This agreeing with each other is getting to be a habit.
Hope it wasn’t too disturbing a dream.

I agree, agreeing is agreeably unusual. Harmony twixt East and West of England. Bizarre dream about the most unlikely person becoming a vicar. Phone call from someone I was supposed to have known at Uni but she left no name. I was invited to attend his licensing.

6.6 at 0430, off to Lincoln for a few days with work, so up early.

Walking a fair bit each day, knee still not happy running regularly, frustrating but may just have to rest it completely for a few weeks if no improvement soon.

4.7 today

6.3 - Back over the Border .

 

[DJC3]

6.1 so I’ve crossed the border too. Spent all yesterday in 6s and 7s in spite of narrow eating window and 2 very low carb meals.
At least it’s sunny out.

At 6.36 was 4.3. Nice to get up a bit later

5.2 for me

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. Lost beyond the border at 7.0. A long walk at pace prescribed this morning and a very frugal eating day. Well done everyone for still fighting.

Another Tuesday? We had one last week - change the channel. 4.8 from Swipey, menu copied and pasted in Cronometer with tweaks. See what 18.5 gms carb does - 21.8 yesterday. Sort of P:E is taking off weight but no noticeable bg control. I'll book a bloods test today - first since election day 2019 @DJC3 for the sun; @HeliGary, yep rest that knee; @PenguinMum what a trooper you are but get that walk in before it is too hot. @Estragon I've finally clicked re border @karen8967 glad it is not jelly baby territory. TTFN

5.2 today....may be there is something in having that handful of almonds as a late snack!

 

[Ryhia]

So what to report, couldn't get to sleep last night don't know if it was the late night coffee (don't normally drink coffee) or the stonker of a head cold I still have. Abandoned the effort something after 03:30 and got up, decided to take bloods out of interest at 03:47 - these came in at 4.9. Not sure if they count not having been to sleep. Returned to bed around 5:00 and got some sleep by elevating my pillows, got up around 08:00 this morning, bloods 5.4 so not bad at all and better than they have been. The way my body behaves at times is certainly a mystery.

6.3 at 6AM. I broke fast at 44 hours mark yesterday although not because I was hungry or anything - I just could not resist the smell of almond flour based banana bread my dear wife baked. Once I broke the fast I figured might as well eat some food. So fasting day today now.

What do you mean by this? Is that some sort of calibration you apply to reading from Swipey?

Not sure if they count not having been to sleep.

Actually based on what I have read these do count and those are some good numbers that you can be proud of despite the lack of sleep. I hope the sleep situation was a one off and you get better sleep tonight.

6.6 happy to be in the 6's

This is brilliant, so happy for you.

Cronometer is the App I use to plan/analyse my menu each day. Since it (menu) varies little from day to day - if I can possibly help it - I copy and paste the food and apply any tweaks I feel I need. This was yesterday. Today will be the same with <Fage and Raspberries.

Just have to add a ‘well done’. You have done well.

The almond snack doesn’t work for me. Perhaps Ieat too many.

6.2yesterday, and 6.4 today.
Something needs tweaking, but not sure what.

Maybe I didn't need to tweak my menu. I checked and yesterday and today I used 6 shots of full sugar - 79% carb - caramel syrup in the coffee I have with F, R and flaxseed to break 17-18 hr fast. Up and down like an inverted V - .4 rise over 2 hrs. Not happy but coffee tasted good (bonus).

7.4 - “Stand away from the Fence Line!”

Been awake since 2am. However... now the Sun’s coming up, birds are making a racket, seeing an Ole Buddy today in our garden that’s got a full-on exploding, floral exuberance and now... my coffee is calling me and my garden recliner beckons me too!

Have a great Summer’s Day y’ll.

5.2 today hurrah. The 2 hrs lawn mowing yesterday seems to have done the trick for now.
Off for my EEG this morning and then I can stop self isolating which will be a relief.
