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

Sunday

Five point seven on finger stabbing contour next


Sun with blue skies here on britains east coast

Thinking maybe just maybe bbq season

Seems a lot of faff but saves lots of indoor cleaning

Coffee may help clarify the decision

Have a good day all

4.88 mmol/L at 5am Sunday morning. Last few days have been sunny and beautiful. Keeps me active all, helps lower my fbg. One larger gold Kiwi is sweet and good for metabolism. Have a nice day everyone.

gj :) have you found any major difference between gold kiwi and the usual green for your sugar levels?
 
7.4 this morning at 6am. Not the best nights sleep as grandkids stayed over for the night and wife spent virtually every minute watching the baby monitors so not much sleep for either of us. At least they go back later today and I hope for a better nights sleep.

I test a lot, keep records. My sugar level goes up a little with gold kiwi, compared to usual green. I was taking two usual greens a day, now I am taking one gold kiwi a day. I also eat kiwi with skin.

Please disregard my comment (He is so predictable!) It was a typing error).
 
7.2 for me today …. But not entirely unexpected….

Rightly or wrongly I had said to myself once I got my 3 months bloods done I would allow myself a treat …. I had one slice of pizza and 2 squares of chocolate…. I was sorely disappointed after all the build up !!!!! My taste buds have obviously changed for the better

My reading before the meal was 5.9 and at both 2 and 3 hours after it was 8.8 and 8.7 - definitely not worth it !!!
 
libre 5.6 fingerprick 6.4
weather is awesome this morning despite the forecast rain.

few calls to chase up appointments this morning. really miss the old gp style walk ins first thing in the morning and just sit there til seen.

4.55 mmol/L at 5am on Monday morning. Last 3 days were awesome and sunny, I was very active all the time. Today there are 55% chances of rain. Later today I will go to the lab for lot of blood test. I wonder why after the blood work a lot of diabetics want to have their favorite high carb meal ?

For me initially it was to stay focused - docs had said if I can’t get my numbers down he would want to put me on meds so I said to myself I would have a treat when bloods were done if I stuck with it for 3 months….

As pizza and chocolate were probably my favorite foods I had 1 slice and 2 squares

But as I said earlier I was bitterly disappointed and made me realise that I’d much prefer my long term health over a slice of pizza!!!!
