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

Just a friendly mod reminder to all posting here.

The purpose of the thread is to post your fasting blood glucose level, with some conversation around that. Lengthy conversation about other topics can be taken to a chat thread, such as this one

Thread 'What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)'

This is a thread for those chatterboxes who not only enjoy letting us know their daily fasting level but also like to engage in friendly banter above and beyond the simple 'hello'. I am not known for my banter but I do enjoy hearing from the regulars about how their day is going, feeds my soul.

So to you, my DCUK friends, here is a new page where you can be as verbose as you wish and still comply with the moderators stick.

Going to link names of regulars, kind of advert for this post and if I've missed your name I apologise.

It’s just gone six am

My libre has woken me three times in the night with low ( sub four) warnings which when measured with a contour next measure over six

Libre currently reads four point four

It may just be a dodgy sensor . If they didn’t cost so much I’d remove it and put another in.
 
7.4 This morning (6.3 on the Dexcom).

My wife and I did some hiking over the weekend and cooked lunch during that, using a couple of freeze dried expedition meals that needed used up as they were closer to expiry. As those had something like 90g of carbs each I'm not surprised that my blood sugar is a bit on the high side. The Dexcom reckons I was at 8.4 before eating that for lunch (we'd walked a few miles by that point and my blood sugar always increases when I exercise) then spiked to somewhere over 12 about 90 minutes later then was back down to 7.1 after 3 hours.
