Fasting Blood Sugar this morning + yesterday's food AND physical activity

Hope your chlosteral levels don’t go back up without the statins, maybe try a Benecol drinking yogurt every day, might help
You could always ask your neighbour to have a go on his Peleton & maybe do a couple of rides
Going to try to get a short ride in this morning, got builders in doing a new patio & need to be back to barbecue their bacon butties
Enjoy the rest of your weekend

Lunch was great, sis and her kids down for the weekend.
Some bowling afterwards.
Too hot for outdoor activities though!

I'm thinking these higher FBGs are being caused by the hot weather

This be honest I was keeping it simple as it was so hot, anything more was just feeling like too much. But it felt good to get it done and get a bit of an old school pump!
