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

7.2 the last 2 mornings but I have a tooth ache and gum infection so I’m blaming that!

Anyway getting bloods today. Appointment with GP in 10 days to get results- Will be nervous but hopeful …. Hope I’m not disappointed when I get my Hba1c…


59 in Mar 25 Really hoping to hit the 40’s but maybe that’s a bit optimistic

if ur uk might be worth signing up for mydiabetesmyway you can get your results pretty fast online :)
hugs for tooth ache and & infection hopefully clears up fast.

little soon perhaps for hba1c? thought average cells lifespan 8-12 weeks? so 3 month would be larger difference as could be skewed a little from any cells still not recycled yet. just spotted the feb then mar result pretty surprised checked so close together
 
libre 3.6 at 4:09am. grabbed a couple of jelly babies rather than fingerprick and went back to sleep.
libre 4.6 7:35am trying 14 units toujeo today not really hungry this morning grabbed some milky coffee for breakfast zero novarapid will see what that does.

Calling dr's shortly loads blood when went to bathroom over the last few days. Will need to chase up endoscope. I canceld the last one couple of months ago, diabetic consultant had said probably better off spend night before in hospistal so had access to loo and would reschedule for their hospital.

Just HOW exactly are you supposed to take enema and travel 2.5 hours to hospistal without tons of accidents on the way. Thats one of the disadvatages of living in a rural location. The advantages definately outweigh the disadvantages. The hospistal where was going to have the proceedure due to diabetic needs to be first on list for the day. 6am ferry would be necessary to arrive 8:30am for first proceedure of the day enema, it should be used 2 hour Prior to proceedure with no food in the morning either what to do if low sugars? :O really wish they dealt with that when was admitted to hospistal end of january that was the reason went through a&e I am glad they did get diagnosis for diabetes just think the initial reason should of been dealt with too.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. You've certainly improved things since last year. Well done.

Yes. I had just looked at the numbers not the dates sorry. @grantg is right. Its usually every 3 months for bloods for the first year and then annually. Taking bloods so frequently, there will be overlap from the previous result.

I had numbers so under control until I got sick and couldn’t eat healthy foods. Broke my good habits and I stuck my head in the sand….
75 in October scared me so had to take action!

Not in uk I’ll be lucky if the GP has them back the following week?
My Feb Hba1c was for GP and he wanted them done in 3 months which is due around now
I had bloods done by a consultant in march which showed the lower Hba1c but I know that wouldn’t have been totally reliable as too soon after my Feb one

It would scare me as well. All power to you for trying to get your bloods back under control. Please keep trying, imagine how you will feel when you see that magic number you are looking for.

At the same time one of my parents had a Hba1c of over 100 so I was trying to encourage him change his diet so had to practice what I was preaching…. Working for me but not for them unfortunately
