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

[Lainie71]

Morning All very glad to report 6.6 as poor nights sleep ensued, still too hot, I think the house bricks have stored the heat. Have a good day everyone.

Red brick notorious for retaining the heat. Apparently Sheffield steel was mixed in the bricks and resulted in a furnace in Summer and toasty in Winter. Hubbys house was the same.

And it’s 5.8 from me this morning before my swim & breakfast.

 

[MissMuffett]

7.1
The Cornish holiday is catching up with me! Cocktail (note singular) on the beach last night and a late evening meal, albeit low carb, I had indigestion all night

 

[ianpspurs]

Morning all. 5.5 from new Libre here - not pleased but there. 5.6 just now before breakfast. @MissMuffett was it that cocktail? Are Rick Stein's battered oysters off the menu?

 

[JohnEGreen]

5.5 this morning.

Late post but 4.7 this morning. Really annoys me to elevate it to drive !

7.7 this morning one wheel on the track

 

[KitSileya]

6.7 this morning. I'm still not over my cold, and I haven't kept track every morning, as I had to stay home from work a couple of days with a fever. I'm chalking my higher readings up to that, but it does make me nervous about my HbA1c test at the end of the month. I had hoped to show my GP that I can control my T2 with diet only, after such a horrendous reading last year made him very sceptical to my plans.

Good Morning

FBG Fingerprick 6.7 Libre 7.1.

Will find out which one is closer as off for the usual battering of tests and then some this morning.

Definitely need breakfast and coffee when its all done.

Have a good day all.

FBG 6.6

I have resisted weighing and measuring food and counting carbs for nearly 25 years in favour of a binary system - yes, that's OK, no, I don't eat that. Time for more refinement. I am now researching keto and carb counting.

It looks much easier now that I am old and rarely leave the house and eat the same things over and over.

Early start at work today
Hope everyone has a good day

H Sarah you are welcome in this friendly little corner where we all support each other’s personal goals. I think you should post in the general forum giving more info about your type of D, what your HbA1c was on diagnosis, whether medicated, etc so a bit more context for the forum members to support you. Fasting BG is notoriously higher due to Dawn Phenominum but agree 18 is very high.

Morning All
A dastardly 7.6 this morning after my lovely run of 6s. Hopefully can improve again. Have a great Wednesday everyone.
