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

6.1 today.
Yikes, I was going to go to yoga today but it started snowing, so I figured that before the roads get too awful I’d do my shopping. What a disaster. The roads were sheet ice and I had a big hill to go down…traffic backed up due to an accident, got past that when someone cut in front of me…and even at 30 km per hour my brakes chattered and I was sliding…thought for sure that was it, I was so close to hitting the vehicle…my heart was pounding. Luckily I stopped just in time. Got my shopping done, headed back up the hill, slipping all the way at 30 km…went to Costco and spent a lot on money….stress shopping.
Safe at home now and waiting for the big snowfall this afternoon…..
You’d think our town would be better with maintaining the roads….but no…they suck

Do you use winter tyres? I've had better grip with those but heck of expensive. Shopping trip sounds stressful hate driving in ice/snow. Especially if in automatic high gear slow as possible helps alongside having tyre pressure perfect. I have a pal northern Iceland uses tyre chains for when snow is really bad

Hello mates,
At a couple of the other forums I've frequented there was a thread like this one where we all sorta checked in each day, with our first cup of coffee or tea, and reported our fasting or waking blood glucose level and some short comment about whether we're ok with it or if not - why not?...

It worked well as a sort of 'first thread to check' each morning and post to.

I'll start.

This morning was a 5.6mmol for me. That's about normal for me

What about you?
