Haven't "reported in" for a couple of days as I've been too busy, but all has been well. Today's fasting was 6.4

Hello @Ashybang. You're stringing together some cracking numbers and it's great to see. Consistency is the name of the game and, if you can steer clear of the sugary white stuff, it does get easier.

I was brought up on 2 teaspoons of sugar in tea and coffee, but these days if I inadvertently sip somebody else's sugary coffee, it tastes ghastly and it's surprising how quickly this change happens.

I have gone right of sweeteners, too sweet for me but never really like them anyway

6.3 this morning and a very late night, off now till new year to hibernate and create bar humbug signs

 

[MissMuffett]

7.3 at 8am. Still on the self destruct and downward trajectory

FBG was 6.7this morning, Not the best reading in the world. I think I need to chill.

FBG 5.8 on Mr Libre this morning, after 23 hours in various planes, and longer in airports, taxis and generally hanging around. Reporting in from New Zealand…
Apart from trying to avoid carbs at every turn, it’s not been as bad as I feared. I did succumb to pastries at breakfast and I got my emergency cheese sticks confiscated on the way in but otherwise Libre shows within range, most of the time.

@Ashybang awesome progress!

6.3 this morning.

7. First time back in the 7s for 3 weeks No reason for it 30 gms carbs yesterday... Sad. Hay ho. pulling up boot straps, another day. Good luck folks. Enjoy what you can.

 

[DEBBIESCOTT]

[LivingLightly]

Morning all

4.9 mmol on waking at 6.00 this Monday morning.
Take care everyone and stay safe.

 

[aylalake]

Libre 5.7
Finger prick 5.5

Yet another day of CGM reading (slightly) higher than meter - curious. Still in the hive though.

@callyandy you are only 0.9999999 or in other words a smear of melted chocolate licked off a finger away from 6s.
@Ladynijo thats impressive after such a long and probably stressful at times trip. Yes, New Zealand is very very strict on bringing food, bugs or plant life into the country. Even check hiking boots to make sure there is no dried mud with plant seeds stuck in the soles.
@Lainie71 I had my bah humbug sign done and displayed from mid-November

All others, hugs of congrats or commiseration where appropriate - tomorrow is another day.

 

[flonvic]

7.1 for me today.Ok with that.(I suppose.) It is what it is.

 

[RD02]

Morning all still in the 5’s a welcome 5.4 this morning

 

[Lainie71]

6.3 this morning and very reluctantly going for a work out

 

[Omar51]

Good morning
5.16 mmol/L 94 mg /dL. on a happy Monday morning. Lots of rain in Northern California. Have a nice day everyone

 

[Welshman1952]

6.1 fasting for me today, so a good start. Appointment with my GP this afternoon and I confess I really nervous as my last Hba1c 10 days ago read 101!! Since then I've done a lot of work and brought my BGs down dramatically and lost 8lb. I'm really hoping he'll give me more time rather than reaching for the prescription pad.

Whatever happens there's no more I could have done.

Stay well everyone

For the first time I was in the 6's yesterday, super happy with that! I feel I've been indulging a bit recently however it has been with dark chocolate and homemade low sugar stuff so maybe thats been OK.
I had a square of my partners galaxy chocolate and found it disgusting! Crazy how the taste buds can change.
