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

Ianspurs thanks for the hug! I have been to the Dr but he doesn't want me to take Quinine because I have a heart problem and it can affect it. I have been online and one remedy maybe I'm dehydrated so step up the fluids which today I have. I take Magnesium every day and tonic water in my squash (Quinine I know but not a lot).
 
Hi everyone it has been a while since I posted on here! life and not looking after myself. so wanting to get back to LC eating and start logging back on here for my morning BSL and support.

Walked 8 miles, ate less than 20 carbs, has a rubbish sleep and it all amounted to a frustrating 6.0, onwards and downwards !

Aw man, sleeping is rubbish for me too. However, I’m impressed with your HBA1C!
 
Good morning
Libre 8.8
Contour 7.3
Not really surprised after 13 hours overnight in a hard chair in a&e with my mum on Monday night then rushing around yesterday to a different hospital for my blood tests (took 3 full bottles) & then back to where mum is & ready meal for tea (never have ready meals)
Did sleep really well though
Have a good day everyone
 
4.0 today. Have a great day everyone :)

Hope your mam feeling better soon. NHS A&E is a joke now, have to take stuff along with you like your having a day out ( food, drink, entertainment )
 
Thoughts and prayers with you and your mum @DEBBIESCOTT. Amazing A1c @BrianDoc. Good to see you back @annabell1. @Estragon what your bg should do with T2 is not the issue IMHO because by definition it doesn't do what it should. Finding ways to manage what it does do is more pertinent and you've been here long enough to know that is very N=1. There are no (UK) Black Swans. Go Team D t-shirt donned, tea drunk (approx 3 litres) just to help @RosemaryJackson

7.6 this morning. Hardly any cramp overnight so I must be dehydrated. But I'm not losing any weight to speak of . Since 9th of January, I've lost an amazing!!! 5lbs!!! I count all my carbs and odd days I go over 30g. do I perhaps not eat enough fat? I have problems with exercising so is that the problem? Can I have some expert advice please? I'm type 2 since 2009. Last HBA1c was 60. Low carb diet. bgs mostly between 6 and 8, the odd dip to the 4s. tia
 
Hug and winner for @RoughcutAU .Olive oil and cheese may not have been the culprits, but spaghetti, hmmm?

@JohnEGreen, delighted to see you back posting. Have been wishing all good health to you and yours. Still a legend!

Been busy, and or lazy, whichever way you choose to look at it. Most days have had fasting levels between 6 and 7. Other days I haven’t bothered checking. So not got the foggiest idea.
Will be more disciplined from now. :)

Please explain? Are you referring to my question about my BG variations during the day?

What do you mean? Esp "N=1"? I'm guessing you're being supportive - thank you - but N=1 - right over my bonce.
