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

[McHelen]

8.2 and going down!! And 7lbs lost this week. Just keep swimming everybody

 

[Sarahlouxoxo]

2.9! I have changed my Lantus to before bed and I don’t think it’s doing too good

 

[RosemaryJackson]

a surprising 7.9 today. I was hoping for much lower

I find my fasting level often continues to rise until I eat. Annoying as I don’t usually want to eat until I have been awake for a couple of hours. If it has been continuing for several days I try to counteract it by having a spoonful of greek yogurt and a cup of coffee. Some people use cream in coffee. I like cream, too much, but it doesn’t like me.
This morning after a lie in my fasting was 6.1. Looks like Dawn P was up early.

Mine does the same re rising till I eat even if I exercise or go for a long walk it continues to rise I think it must be all the stored glucose that my liver kindly releases to help me lol .

Here I was thinking my recent lower numbers were the new normal but woke yesterday to a 5.9, this morning to a 5.8. No rhyme nor reason, or perhaps good reasons. I have eaten quite a lot of protein over the last couple of days which doesn't always sit well with me, plus I made some teacakes from a low carb bread recipe ((keto king) adding mixed spice, sugar substitute and a few blueberries. I know what some of you think of low carb bread but for me these were delish and so moreish, I have had to ban them to the freezer so that they last longer. And to hide them from my non-diabetic husband.

Keep well folks.

I'm not sure why I am testing at the moment because my FBG is just all over the place 10.6 yesterday 8.6 this morning I know some of the readings are due to feeling under the weather ( not covid ) and poor sleep .

Yes, it’s all very flaky. However, I keep on doing it to re-reconfirm just how wobbly my EndoSys has having fallen into the tentacle-grip of T2, it’s my way of charting my way through this land. I’ve now placed “others” with extraordinary successful low results are not being a mirror or lodestone of where I’m at. Take heart, and keep on testing.

Another 6.1 for me today.

 

[Pipp]

7.3 today. Every time I tested 5 times, throughout the day, meter stuck on 7.3. No explanation at all, but made it simple to work out daily average.
I had the most sleepless night ever, until 4am ( or at least it was last time I checked the clock) until I woke at 12:30 pm. Don’t know if Dawn P snuck in and hung around all day. This D business still throws in a conundrum for me to mull over from time to time.
Keeps me on my toes.

4.5 this morning.

It's been a bit of a week the last couple of days so I missed checking in here. I hope the keel is a bit more even now, for a while at least.

 

[DEBBIESCOTT]

Have a good day everyone

 

[Estragon]

[karen8967]

5.7 for me

 

[ultradad]

4.1 today. Have a nice day everyone. Seems like 3.5 grams of carbs is ok (riveta with tuna on) so a change from meat . Going to try a keto cupcake soon ( 8 grams of carbs) and fingers crossed my bloods ok with that as i do miss a cupcake

 

[McHelen]

Onwards and downwards - 8.6 this morning.

 

[busdriver450]

Depressing reading seeing how well everyone is doing
Well done to you all my control is

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All
6.9 at least its a 6 I suppose. @busdriver450 welcome to our corner of hopers and triers so please don’t worry some of us have kept on keeping on for years.

 

[RosemaryJackson]

Morning all. 4.9 !!!! Biggest surprise ever. My bg was high all day yesterday because I ate too many carbs so I didn't expect that.

 

[ianpspurs]

Greetings Team D. Welcome @busdriver450. Bg control is highly personal and whilst it may give some people inspiration to see what others achieve it must never become a competition. @RosemaryJackson sums up the situation for many - expect the unexpected. Wise words from @PenguinMum so S and W folks. Go Team D.
