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

Good morning everyone. I am back from my holiday in Devon and Cornwall and left my meter at home. Mostly I ate carefully, lots of simple fish but I did have a scoop of ice cream more than once! That stops right now! Today FBG is 8.1.
Hope you are all well and managing in the heat.
 
Morning all. No bg reading again....no strips yet. In any case, I don't expect my diet to be good today, it's my birthday! Hope you all have as good a day as I'm going to have! :happy:
Aw a very happy birthday to you. I'm sure a few treats are the order of the day. Have a great time

Didn't realise that I haven't posted readings since Monday ! Anyway Tues 7.8 Wed 7.4 Thrus 8.8 Friday 8.1 and this morning 9.4 think heat has affected increase and last 2 reading were from meter ( which is usually a bit higher ) . Trouble with Libre sensor eventually had to reset the app now lost all data but at least its now working .

I used to say that food had no calories on your birthday ;)

Have a good one @RosemaryJackson

9.7 for me today, glad I fought off the pizza after all.
 
6.4 this morning.
8.4 just now - I've been inactive all day. It's usually below 5 if I'm gardening or walking.

My specialist says I should be between 6 and 9, so, I reckon today is just fine.
Due to a whole string of low readings though (below 5) I'll be reducing my gliclazide by 40mg from tomorrow (specialist's orders).
