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

NewdestinyX said:
Hello mates,
At a couple of the other forums I've frequented there was a thread like this one where we all sorta checked in each day, with our first cup of coffee or tea, and reported our fasting or waking blood glucose level and some short comment about whether we're ok with it or if not - why not?...

It worked well as a sort of 'first thread to check' each morning and post to.

I'll start.

This morning was a 5.6mmol for me. That's about normal for me

What about you?

Mine was 8.2, fallen off the wagon!

Late today
libre 5.5
Contour 5.5
They now think I have pertussis aka whooping cough, steroid inhaler is keeping blood glucose in double figure for most of the day & doesn’t seem to be improving the cough, been to circuits & burn out spin (90 minutes), housework done, time for feet up
Have a lovely weekend if you can & hugs to all in need

Oh Debbie, I hope you feel better soon xxx I did wonder if it was whooping cough, there are so many people with it. Thumbs up for keeping the work outs going, you deserve a medal for your persistence and resilience.

6.4 . I'll be interested to see if it rises when I check my before breakfast reading. I've never paid attention to that.

edited to add: I waited about 90 minutes before breakfast, it rose to 7.1.... hmmm.

I'll try tomorrow, but have a small bite to see what happens.

Evening @May Mic.

Most of us on this FBG thread (and the parallel thread for type 2s) test as soon as we wake up. BG readings rise once we start to move around. That's normal and to be expected.

Morning All 7.3 so 0.1 better than yesterday so the same really. @DEBBIESCOTT the old advice half a century ago to relieve whooping cough was get in lots of steam eg shower or head under a towel over a bowl of steaming water but I guess you’ve tried everything. I think our DIL had a whooping cough vaccine while pregnant. We are avoiding crowded places to give our 3 mo treasure every precaution. @RosemaryJackson hope you are improving and well done for persevering. Eye pain and discomfort is the worst. Sending hugs to you both.
Anyone heard from @Estragon I hope he is just chilling in the Hive. Happy Wednesday all.
