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

[Ryhia]

7.5 - Monumental pain from 1am this morning. Just learnt that I maybe one of the fortunate masochists that can’t convert Codeine to Morphine. Going to quizz all of my Alchemists here at Estragon Towers for a better magic solution. Presently I’m not ruling out Eye of Toad.

I well remember when I worked in the NHS, (large hospital) there was a guy on our IT team who had had a triple bypass, he was in his mid 50s and used to run all over the place, up flights of stairs, the lot, you couldn't stop him running used to show us up. He said it was because he felt so well compared to how he had felt prior to the op. He was completely re-energised - I'm wishing the same for you. One day at a time though- keep well.

Morning All last day of my jollies, heading home soon. used a Libre for guidance but didn’t use meter last 5 days. Aldeburgh best fish & chips EVER. Thrigby Hall magical. But that North sea wind hells bells! Delighted to see @Estragon is back from the other side and hope you can find more helpful meds. Bagels …what bagels Enjoy the day everyone.

Would that be the same North sea that is a 5 minute walk away from my house? Little wonder I feel the cold so much. Pleased you have enjoyed your time away.

FBG 5.8 this morning. It had gone down to 5.1 at lunch time which is much better than the mid fives and 6s I have been seeing lately. I was beginning to think my pancreas had taken the huff and withdrawn support.

Yes, please! This is the type of positive feedback that will assist in getting through the pain.

Good morning
Libre 5.7
Contour 5.8
After shower, getting dressed, packing lunch & cooking breakfast & mug of tea
Libre 8.3
Contour 6.6
Have a good day all

5.00 here. I'm sure you know that Libre gives silly readings for some time after hot showers so I'd ignore that unless it was a cold shower/ice bath. No idea what they do to Swipey.
Edit: cold not cod

Morning All. Normal service resumed so its 7.2. @Ryhia lovely part of the country but was bracing when we were there. @Estragon hoping you can get pain relief that works and every day is a day nearer to being well again. Have a good day all.

7.4 for me at 06:50 - first time taking a fasting level as I'm starting a diabetes "Expert" course today and I thought I needed to know.

up to 8.9 an hour after breakfast which is high for me, but only a 1.5 spike, which I can live with.

Well wishes to all
