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

3.7 at 2am. 8g carbs back to sleep
3.8 just after 5am 8g carbs currently 8.1 at 6am away to grab coffee. Yesterday Zero exercise til dinner 25 mins walk to bring levels down from 14.7.

exercise confuses me at the moment in relation to going low for several hours later when baseline appears ok without. I do wonder how low before liver would dump some glucose

I am happy to stick with and hang on to the sixes. Only just hanging in there at 6.9 this morning. If I had got up an hour or even 15 minutes later I certainly would have kissed them goodbye. The strange thing is that like so many of us I cannot get the actual reason that explains the highs and lows. Pills and diet does obviously help, maybe exercise for some but there are other unknown things going on in the background that I wished we could control. Such is life!!

There’s no doubt that life sometimes is a mystery.

However I suspect with me on this occasion it may have been the two glasses of wine I had on Sunday night. - I suspect it takes a while for my body to adjust to the delicious poison I throw at it from time to time.
 
Forgot to test this morning, but later numbers were good. I must say that the Comox Valley on Vancouver island is the most beautiful place! The weather is perfect right now, sunny and low 20s. Today we walked the estuary, two beaches, and did two hikes at Seal Bay. We saw our son’s new house and had a lovely visit. More walking tomorrow and home on Thursday….eating is pretty good.
 
5.4 libre after getting rudely woken a few hours ago. Exercise doesn't appear to agree with sugar levels drops yo-yo for several hours afterwards


DSN called date for c-peptide test 9th July. To fast from night before that will mean zero exercise 8th walking and swimming love helps to keep sanity.

Currently at odds with DSN wanting me to change insulin brand to mid acting. Same insulin dosage released over shorter period of time just how would that work? Surely that would amplify the issue with exercise. I've asked if possible urine c-peptide test Dsn says never has heard of that but will ask if it's possible. If doing via blood test says can't just check other bloods as that's not procedure. Going to call diabetic consultants secretary later on today
