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

[Charlotte73]

23.1 for me….seems like the norm for me lately, I’ll take it it after going to bed on 28.0. Might sit in the garden and enjoy this beautiful weather we have today.

10.8 this morning .

 

[Peanut234]

12.0 this morning on CGM.

 

[Ryhia]

[LivingLightly]

Morning all
My first post, first morning prick. I was feeling good about my reading until I saw the numbers above : 13.9 was my reading this morning.
I am hoping my lifestyle changes and meds will result in a positive downward trajectory for my bsl.
Happy Friday

Evening @EmmaWithTheD.

Evening @Charlotte73 and welcome back to this FBG thread for diabetes of all types. It's good to see you here again.

Today's FBG reading isn't great. May I suggest you telephone your GP's reception desk on Monday morning and ask for the earliest available appointment with your doctor. Don't wait for them to contact you. S/he may want to adjust your medication.

Meanwhile, are you doing everything possible to keep your carbohydrate intake lowish?

I expect the Strelitzia sp., otherwise known as bird-of-paradise flowers here, are hardy in California.

6.8 at 6.00am…. Gotta be thankful for that, having spent much time post hospital in the 7s?

Now need to design my campaign to take on the DVLA to my driving allowed.

6.0 at 7:40! In the 6s all week.

off to the hospital for eyes check. I was diagnosed with macular degeneration a year ago. If I had a choice I’d rather go deaf. I don’t want to go blind, the thought is making me very tearful

Have a fab Friday everyone and hugs for those that would like one x

5.8 this morning.

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All 6.5 this morning which is acceptable for me. @MissMuffett hope your eye appointment went well yesterday. If its any comfort I have been having eye injections for 5 years, probably 30 in number, to prevent my retinal vein occlusion (micro bleeds at the back of the eye) getting worse and can’t see (!) a time when they will stop but they are not as frequent as in the beginning. Control of Diabetes and BP key. The treatment and knowledge of eyes is improving all the time.
@Mojo you’re fighting back! Happy Saturday everyone. Hugs to all who need them.

6.2 after 2 days at 5.4

 

[Ryhia]

FBG 5.8 this morning.

 

[Jordi77]

Morning all my sugars this morning are 9.8 on the Libre as had to wait for it to warm up with it being a new sensor

 

[RosemaryJackson]

Morning all. 7.3 this morning. @MissMuffett, I was diagnosed with it about 6 years ago. I take EyeSUPER 8 from Greenwoods. It doesn't cure but it progresses much more slowly. Expensive but eyes are precious. I have the phone number if you want it. Apologies for going off thread.

 

[Ladynijo]

FBG 5.9 on the Libre at 7.30, post cuppa tea and organising the carpet cleaner. Need to check on the decorator now and sort out the lawn mower. Hopefully I’ll get to enjoy the place eventually.
