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

[ChrisT2]

7.7 this morning, coming down slowly. No surprise that it is a slow recovery of results following a spell wandering off the LC path, nature's way of a slap on the wrist.
Thank goodness my diabetic check-up and bloods are still over 6 months away. Hopefully these small set backs won't upset overall results but going by recent habits and will power I need to be a hermit over the Xmas period,.

6.1 first ...as usual rising on pottering about 8.1 ...had small pre breakfast snack ( walnuts and brie ) then 40 minute walk that did lower to 7's . Will walk again in an hour or so and that seems to impact my numbers amazingly .

7.0 this morning- normal elevation after the weekend but it’s a lovely day so straight back on the strict diet and exercise. Have a great day, everyone.

7.9 which I'm surprised about after some sweet yummy stuff at the weekend. Aiming to say low sugarwise during this week and keeping fingers crossed for my next HBAC1 test next week Monday.

7.1 this morning ...experimented with rice last night and the very little I had didn't raise my numbers much ( 2 mmol ) . Sensor runs out today ordered more but haven't arrived so will be back to finger prick test in the morning .

6.3 this morning- back to usual readings after the weekend

 

[DEBBIESCOTT]

Libre 4.6
Take care everyone

Thanks @mojo37, (never got one at school lol!) Unfortunately ate very late last night and was 7.6 this morning.

7.4 this morning, slowly coming down. Looking to fit my trial Libre CGM once my readings get back to my pre-holiday readings and see how the CGM compares with finger pricking and hope I haven't been missing anything. If CGM proves useful will sell the house and kids and take out a second mortgage to self fund a CGM , time will tell.

Morning All 7.6 yesterday and 8.0 today but getting up later and not getting any exercise. Recovery from fall ongoing and slow but determined to get on that plane on Sat (with a lot of help from Mr P). Happy Tuesday all.

I know the cost is high but the free trial one has given me far more insight to what is happening and have now ordered 2 more ( 99 quid ) .

Ooops 8.2 this morning bucking the trend. TBH not really surprised as it is never a smooth ride when trying to reduce blood sugars but hopefully just a blip although an unexplained one.
