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

[ianpspurs]

Fbg 5.8 daily hypos so I was straight into a breakfast. Protein filled.
Officially off insulin but heavy bouncing around bgs on 2 daily metformin. I must admit I had better management on insulin, for now.
Fresh look at food eating times may help more with my fluctuations.
My stress levels hv been very high lately due to suspected Cauda Equina MRI via A&E and struggling to walk is hugely frustrating with a vibrant 8yr old to keep active in some damp days.
I hope everyone is well and conquering their personal current aim.

Hug for the suspected Cauda Equina - hope it definitely wasn't that.

MRI done but if/when it gets worse I hv to go back. I'm praying not in winter rush. It's scary how short staffed our A&E is right now. Meeting an excellent surgeon who specialises in minimum Invasive surgery. I need all the help I can get. My walking is getting worse. I'm so thankful I weigh far less now too though.

Good morning
4.6 for me

 

[garyclark82]

6.0 again for me. Hopefully entering the end of this flippin' bug as the horrible phlegmy cough is now here. Off for a few days in the Lake District so hopefully the fresher air/extended walking will blow the cobwebs away

If it was Mr. Lxxxxxxxxx spinal surgeon, you saw at the Royal you are in brilliant hands. I am not such an avid fan as you are of Sunderland hospitals but I would pay to see him.

5.1 again today but wine was involved yesterday.
@ickihun good to see you here but hugs for the worry over diagnosis.
Great fbg as always @DEBBIESCOTT
Hurrah for single figures @LeftPeg well done.
I’m envious of your Lake District trip @garyclark82 I’m sure it’ll do you the world of good.

@PenguinMum mucho woots unto thee. @DJC3 to repurpose a phrase (how very now and utterly pretentious), don't stop wineing. @garyclark82 hope the Lake District does you good (not for me, I don't do hills in UK) . . @ert does that need a hug or just about ok? IDK my fbg really as Swipey seems all discombobulated just now. Eat beef today - St Luke's day. Oddly, UK history began well before the revisionist historiography we are being fed

5.2 today.
