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

[Pipp]

Yesterday, suprisingly as there had been food from chippy night before, 5.8.
This morning, following a very low carb sort of day yesterday, 6.8.
Just demonstrates, for me, how unpredictable my pancreas is.

FBG 5.4 this morning.

Yes, of course. I just feel "daft" coming back here and time and time again posting this yo-yo-ing. Also, I have this thought that I am doing myself harm by NOT achieving sustainable 5s and 6s, that others do.

If you are doing the best you can to manage The D after doing your due diligence why feel daft? T2 is capricious and LCHF is just a theory. The Big Picture ™ is that the majority of us find our fbg and all other bg checks consistently inconsistent. This morning's posts are Exhibit A, M'Lud.

@DEBBIESCOTT and @ianpspurs you guys are the best, really you are. Thanks.

7.4 for me this morning. In the low 6s all day yesterday and aiming for that again today it’s just that pesky FBG!

Don’t ever feel daft or else we’re all daft. I used to have 5s then it went to 6s and now I’m firmly stuck in the 7s but my HbA1c in March only went up by 1 point. We all strive for a FBG we are comfortable with but really its not as important as our rises after food. and avoiding prolonged peaks. Lets just carry on carrying on.

And this afternoon: 5.4. So, peeps, something DOES work. This was after breakfast of Celery, Turkey steak, stinky cheese and Polish Chicken Sausage and nuts.

Well done! @Estragon

FBG 6.9 ... back in the 6s ... just. Still a win!

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. 7.5 so firmly stuck in the scary sevens but guess what eating carefully and no snacking. Whatever. I will carry on carrying on, nothing else for it. Enjoy the sunshine if you can.
