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

@LivingLightly ”finger prickets and snipers” :D:D
Oh! Flipping autocorrect - “finger prickers and swipers” - love it!

Final day of the warm/cold experiment.
Libre 6.8
GlucoNavii 7.0 (cold)
CodeFree 5.1 (warm)

Anyone able to answer the original poster’s (@fantastic9888) query of which one is the true reading? Ignore the Libre - it is always a couple of points higher, no matter the time of day or ambient temperature.

Here’s the link again to the thread if anyone is interested.

Glucometer

Hi all. Where I live is cool in the morning. I refer to my bedroom. When I check sugars in bed in the morning, they could be around 8.00mmol. but when I place glucometer under the bedclothes, I can get a reading of 2.00mmol less. So my question is. Which reading is the real reading? Cheers...

Hello. Bit late today but at bedtime last night my bg was 7.6 and this morning 7.8. Yippee! I'm in the 7's! First time since I stopped Meformin. I've joined Slimming World. Last time I went I lost weight, A1c down, cholesterol and blood pressure down. So hoping for the same. Have a lovely day all. :D

Morning All 6.6 today so thats two 6s in a row. I feel like I’ve reached the top of the hill gazing down at the glow of the Hive. Don’t worry it won’t last.
Hope you are all well and hugs to those who need it. @Bcgirl glad your procedure went well and @DEBBIESCOTT hope you got through the eye laser ok. Extra hugs.

Went well thank you, consultant was lovely & kept asking if it hurt
 
5.5 this morning, Dexcom
fully fed now and feeling great! With all the doctor’s appointments behind me I can now focus on our trip to Sri Lanka! Just tried all my clothes on and packed them away in their respective cubes….the countdown is ON
May get some snow tonight, hope it just stays in the mountains.
 
Libre 7.4
GlucoNavii 5.8
for me this morning. After adding some mashed potato (Smash, actually, with butter and cream) to last night’s supper, I am thrilled. Good to be in the hive as well.

@Bcgirl that will be a thermal shock going to Sri Lanka from a snowy cold homebase- enjoy every moment of your holiday!
@MissMuffett you will be back in the hive in no time. To be honest, you probably were anyway, given your reading was only 0.3 off, and there is a 10% error allowance in all glucometers.
@PenguinMum a week ago your reading was in the 8s if I remember correctly, so you are doing great.
