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

I've not tested my fasting for two days. Yesterday I was stressed due to going for early eye appointment, and today I've woken with a headache following all the poking and prodding they did, so seemed best to leave testing.
Tomorrow though hopefully? xx

Exactly SuNuman. I may test before I eat today though, if headache has gone. I like to test before and after my first meal whenever that happens to be each day :) x

It's very difficult not to have these binges, isn't it.
My own was caused by terrible tragedies in my family and my not caring about myself afterwards, but (touch wood) I am overcoming the reluctance to take care of my health and seven weeks in this weekend. We are all human and affected by emotions and issues in our lives. I wish you all the best from now onward though mojo37 xx

SuNuman, I broke my fast at 11am with some late breakfast. My beforehand figure was 5.2 and I've just noted my two hour one, which is 5.5 so I'm really happy with that :) I try not to get complacent though as anything can change x

OK, Diabetes Chums, what’s going on?

After a great Roast Chicken lunch. Wine, Sainsburys’s Lentil+Chilli Peppers Soup, Baguette, 3 Roasties and Mrs E’s Lemon drizzle cake 3 Slices and now, after five hours, I thought I’d do a Stabbie…. Think of a number! go on, think of one? How about ….3! Checked against my other meter, 3.1 and now, 10 mins later, 3.9….. Whats going on? I’ve never, ever had a sub 4, let alone a set of 3s? Should I worry? I don’t feel “weird”, I don’t feel anything like a Hypo?

That is fab. I. Have. Not. Felt. Or. Been. Sick. Today!!!!!!!!!!!
I went to see my older sis today. She’s 66 - she had a below the knee amputation 5 weeks ago and no one was allowed to visit her in hosp - so now she’s home I jumped at the chance to see her. She is doing great so positive. She has just been diagnosed diabetic but had PAD for years and no she has never ever smoked or been a heavy drinker. Has made me even more determined to control diabetes and not let it control my life. Xxxxx.

Yes, I think that would really have hit home with you, seeing your sister today. So glad she's being positive as it will help her so much. Great about the sickness easing for you AT LAST! Let's hope you can now start to eat (but only the right things of course) xx
