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

5.2 this morning. :) Thought bloods would have been higher as I have got a diary full of hospital appointments for the rest of the week, MRI scan today, physio appt tomorrow and Eye and feet check Friday. NHS must be short of patients.:angelic:. Actually, I can only commend the response by the MSK Department - I was referred on the 9th August by my GP. I was seen by the consultant on 29th August who fast tracked me for the other appointments. I am very grateful that they have been so proactive, I know that the consultant has been working weekends and bank holidays to get his backlog down. It looks like I have been one of the ones to benefit.

5.2 here :angelic: I hope everything goes well with all those appointments and yes the NHS is playing a blinder. Drive through blood tests for me today before phone consultation on Friday to confirm Monday's Chemo goes ahead. Some hospitals/clinics are cancelling apparently. Thoughts and prayers with you and everyone else caught up in this (some would say self inflicted) muddle. (Proud of myself for cleaning that up)

Yes, Ian my thoughts and prayers are with you too.
 
Honestly? 4am 9.1 finger prick and libre.

Interesting overnight graph as went to bed (10pm) on a steady 7.1 several hours after eating but ended up with several peaks and valleys above range before the 4am small correction bought it back down to 7.3 before getting out of bed a few hours later.

Cold still lingering like a bad smell.
