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

been in bed ill for 2 weeks, had a high carb meal yesterday as was first thing i had eaten in about 3 days.

got my Freestyle Libre trial through so stuck it on last night

reading 10.9 at 8:15am.

had a slice of seeded bread and peanut butter, took my metformin and I've just had a 'high alert' at 13.8

i'm just gonna go ahead and cry now if noone minds.
 
6.2 today thankfully low-ish. Like many yesterday I weakened a little by having a 1/2 muffin for breakfast with ham and poached eggs purely to get rid of the dregs of a packet of muffins lurking in the freezer. Later at work my BS set off my Libre alarm at 13.5 which continued to a high of 15,1 Lesson learned (which I already suspected) that anything bread related even 1/2 a muffin is devil food for me, The birds in the garden will have feasted on the rest of the muffins as I do my bit for nature and they don't need to test for BS.
