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

Morning All well…put a Libre on in advance of flu jab yesterday..meter said 5.7 this morning..fed the cats, made tea, remembered Libre…7.3. Clueless.
@ianpspurs you made me blush :rolleyes: hope its just the booster jab giving you that shocker! Don’t let Elsie think its all about her! @garyclark82 keep going nothing stays the same for long, in my experience.
 
So its a 5.3 this morning, Have a good day folks. Got my diabetic feet and eye screening this afternoon. Everything seems in good order so I am not too concerned. Hope that it is confirmed in due course.

Best wishes. Now you've started me singing head and shoulders (wiv actions) - 2 granddaughters think I'm even more Tonto - you're a bad, bad person:angelic:
 
Hi there. I just joined diabetes.co.uk.

This is an interesting thread. My fasting blood glucose this morning 6.7 mmol.l.

I have not been diagnosed with diabetes but am concerned about my blood sugar. Ever since having glucose in urinalysis at the drs. I got a blood glucose monitor and periodically check it. Normal HbA1c so dr wasn’t bothered.

I won't be doing anything strenuous certainly not singing head and shoulders this afternoon....Just got back after a 2hr walk, knees are numb - getting old and creaky I guess.

Shall I let you into a little secret, my first test this morning was actually 4.9 but the thought of me singing....I couldn't put people through that.

10.9 today.
Didn’t go over 10 at all yesterday so mildly disappointing but it’s very early days.

Hi and welcome. We don't mind "normal", that's what we are all aiming for. Mind you, you may find some of us are more normal than others

Some voice if'n y'all think I can hear you from the Frozen Norf down here in Forest Heath, especially over the noise of Mr Biden's mahossive tanker planes.
 
Had an eye sight test this afternoon thought I would come out with a prescription for new reading glasses as been having trouble reading the screen for a while.

But the optician said we have to sort out those Cataracts I said what cataracts I don't have any as far as I know he said it's in your notes from 2016 on my reply it would have been nice to have been told. Cataracts both eyes of a fast growing type given letter for doctor requesting referel to eye doctor bummer.
 
Just got back from the primary care centre after my diabetic eye and feet check. Eyes good, feet good so everything good apart from my ectopic heart beat which was happily going bum de de bum bum when she checked my feet pulses. Clipped my toe nails especially for the occasion. ;)

Bonus. - as we were leaving there was someone at the door offering Covid booster shots, no booking needed so got that as well. OH wasn't allowed his jab as it was too soon after the Covid infection he had. We shall see what bloods bring tomorrow. 5.5 this evening which is a little higher than usual.
