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

[LivingLightly]

Morning - 7.1 at 5.57 then went for a swim and then a cold dip - pre breakfast at 8.22 was up to 9.1

Mixture of Sunday lunch out and then some red wine later in the eve probably didn't help, but hey it was Sunday yesterday.

Hello and welcome to this FBG thread for all comers.
We're pleased you could join us.

6 this morning, exercise is contributing factor, been increasing to 4 times a week for an hour each time. Really cold out side this morning but sunny, may go for a walk to the park and feed the ducks!

5.6 this morning. Really bad nights sleep, was woken at 03.00am with Dexcom sensor failure. Ignored it and went back to sleep. Seems to have corrected itself and working fine now.

Good morning ️ from California!

3.83 mmol/L 87 mg/dL. Happy Monday morning. Yesterday I ate 3 medium red apples , I was surprised it didn’t affect my FBG. Have a nice day everyone.

 

[NeeNee87]

10.2 this morning and down 6 lbs total. Small victories I guess!

Every victory, no matter how big or small, should be a reason to celebrate! Well done!

I can only tolerate half an average size dessert apple at any one time, they are surprisingly full of carbs for something so healthy and tend to spike my BG levels. But I’ve discovered that half an apple with some cheese makes a good dessert/snack, and barely registers on the scale, so its a nice treat now.

Yes, healthwise apples get a favourable press.

We have an apple tree (now on its last roots, sadly) and I found there was a substantial difference between eating a home-grown apple and an apple bought from a supermarket. Traditional English varieties like a crisp Cox's orange pippin have a kick to them, but modern cultivars such as gala and golden delicious have been selected for super sweetness and spike me in minutes.

I can no longer handle an apple as a snack. My solution is to incorporate apple peel into salads, when apple flavour and colour is required.
