6.7 - Yesterday early was 6.1. By Pre evening meal 5.7, so I’m generally pleased as I’m not forgetting my HBA1C of 47.
Well, thank you! I keep watching your numbers and get a bit “green”. My next target is to get off of Metformin.

Another day, another 6.0. I'm fine with that, I think. That tends to be my "normal" number and anything in the green is a positive. I think tomorrow may well be the day I get back in the 5's so I am going to try extra hard to get excited about it!

Good morning. IDK what fbg was as the Tee 2 kit in the lazy man's bedroom loo cum shower was like our trolley in chief so ended in the bin. Downstairs one seems believable and I'll renew Swipey Friday night. @DEBBIESCOTT great fbg and that's how I believe bg should behave although long slow cardio lowers it nicely. @JohnEGreen that seems more betterer. @Estragon why the rush to ditch metformin when it has - allegedly- benefits beyond bg control?

@ziggy_w , my thoughts on polar bears.. As well as the high fat in their diet, it is also high protein, and I doubt there is much carb in there, either. Linked with the cold water, and freezing air temperature, that could be the reason for their non-diabetes status. However, I am not convinced that comparison between humans and polar bears is going to be useful.
As for the sleeping late, giving us higher fasting levels, I believe our livers detect a difference in sleep state and give us the DP kick start regardless. This morning, in semi wake mode I tested at first light, and it was 7.1, turned over, and dozed for an hour and a half then tested again, 5.8. So once again, I go against the DP theory. Unless my body has now adapted to my slothful morning routine, and DP gets in early.
