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

6.5 this morning….this after a surprise 12 km walk (thinking maybe 6km) around one of our gorgeous provincial parks and maybe 10 carbs…unhappy pancreas
what amazing weather we are having! Heaven.
happy thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians.
 
FBG 5.7 this morning, after an accidental 5 mile hike… it was a such a nice warm afternoon, just a gentle stroll I thought, & before I knew it, I was in the next village. I did get a bus back as I don’t do up hills in the dark!

Have a magnificent Monday, folks.
 
5.8 - Back amongst the Five-Hive. Well, yesterday I took on my nemesis Hill in our local park. Previously I’d need two or three rests, and each time I’d be scared to take it on. Well, playmates, yesterday, we walked up the same Hill, felt a new sense of lightness and stamina, reach the top and sat down on a bench and didn’t do my previous weak and shattered feeling. Rested for a quarter of the time, checked my heart rate, which was in gamut, and repeated the circuit! So twice around my nemesis, walked home and came back with a sense of achievement and renewal.

That's wonderful news. Well done!

@LivingLightly - Well thank you! The quad bypass is firmly embedded now. Word to the wise, the smart money has been on my T2 had, over the years reduced my descending heart arteries to only 20% efficiency and efficacy, meaning 80% was shot. So, "others" please be warned.
