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

4.7 this morning - after a day yesterday where I felt like I could eat my own leg for most of it. Thankfully human leg meat is low carb. At least the craving wasn't for cake.
 
5.6 this morning.

One of the families in the house I work in brought a small plate of spicy chicken pasta into the office. My manager had told her how good it smelt!! She is vegan so declined it. I felt bad for her so took one for the team. Just tested my blood an hr later (forgot meter this morning!) 4.9! First time I have had that much carbs in a long while, went low card before I even knew I was diabetic. Makes me less worried for my daughters wedding in December when it’s Pizzas for dinner. I won’t be indulging in heavy carbs like that until then just to be safe though.
 
Just tiptoe-ing quietly back into the fives with a 5.9
@garyclark82 well done, I love nice surprises like that.
@Marianne67 what a great pasta result! My daughter is also considering pizza after her wedding next year, I’m trying to persuade her a hog roast would be better!
@ianpspurs I don’t know what time you are jetting off tomorrow but in case you don’t pop in here beforehand, have a great holiday in the sun.

Yay for tiptoeing through the tulips into fiveland - the girl C dun good, innit. I'm told we must be at Stanstead by 6.00 am so leave here around 5.00 am. Pizza after a wedding? Sheesh. I live in Little America but c'mon that is really plumbing the depths.

Wish I was going have not been to Paphos for years well maybe next year with a bit of luck enjoy your trip.
 
Thanks @PenguinMum and @JohnEGreen. and anyone else to save posts. I'm not going to wear a Swipey now. Hoping to draw a line in the sand under this move and a difficult few months (72?) with Elsie. How is a quality protein source first then a huge salad a big issue for my loved ones and the only satiating meal for me?:arghh:

I couldn't even imagine living on salads - half an hour after eating one and I am absolutely starving.

Usually sees me through from 6 pm to 11 am coffee (with 15 mls cream) nothing else does that and or is mostly hideous. Look at my signature.
