Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

[alliebee]

My pharmacist sold me some Piriton liquid once only to find it has sugar in it and she had just gave me my insulin pens...doh !

Well this I've checked and there is a lot of buzz on google about it too. No sugar. Dns are sometimes rubbish I know esp when they spout the eat lots of carbs routine! That's what got me here!!

6.8 this morning ..I suspect the glands the size of duck eggs under my jaw have something to do with that. Can't say I feel ill just a bit off colour which is typical as I am off out tonight and have my Hba1C test next week!

I love your gifs in your signature, Fergus. Where did you find them?

A much more acceptable 5.3 this monprning after a week in which morning readings have yo-yo'd and been as high as 6.4. But I do have a chest infection and a lot of pressure at work currently so the high readings are not too much of a surprise.

Sorry, http://www.freesmileys.org/emoticons-animals-001.php

Thanks, I got there, but it doesn't seem we can use HMTL on the threads, but it's OK on signatures, I'm guessing.

Yes!!!

Will it work though?

Let's see....

Thank you @FergusCrawford . Now everyone can see how frenetic my home life is, with two of them dashing, poddling, scuffling, charging, trundling and bouncing. Except when they are asleep, and recharging.

 

[AndBreathe]

Yes!!!

Will it work though?

Let's see....

Perhaps try all the link options in at once, then delete the ones that don't work?

Failing that, ask @FergusCrawford !!

5.9 this morning after bedtime of 5.7, so about right but I obviously prefer my 5.3!!
Keep getting a little snow flurry but nothing laying yet, just a few specks on the ground so far

 

[Sable_Jan]

7.0 this morning. Sorry not been on for a few days just feeling rough and very sore. Day 16 in hospital getting used to it now but LET ME OUT OF HERE !! Still got chest drain in an on injection antibiotics. Glad everyone is doing well

The 7.0 is good, sorry to hear about the rest tho. Hopefully you'll be our and about again soon x

 

[Bluetit1802]

I like my current tub of strips No head banging necessary

5.1 at bedtime
5.3 this morning

9.1 this morning

 

[s_k_s]

A very annoyed 6.0 which is the highest I have recorded since I started testing on 18/12. Only had some chicken drumsticks and some salad but then had cashews/raisins and a 9 bar. Then got offered a glass of wine which i said yes to. Didn't test last night.

Overall, based on 31 readings it has been an average of 4.7 with 4 readings over 5.5

We all get these blips. It could be anything from bad night to stress to your liver playing silly buggers to you coming down with something, but what it won't be is the wine (if it was red and not a sweet white)

Ok was really worried about taking my bloods this morning as I was 9.1 before bed..... However it was 5.6 woohooo

It was a dry white wine. Also today is the 1st test using a batch of strips I got off ebay.

 

[Sable_Jan]

My usual 5.8 - was a little concerned as I had a meal out last night and had mushroom stuffed with stilton, cranberries and walnuts followed by king prawn marsala with rice (about 2 tblespns) and a small naan and I enjoyed every mouthful! Didn't have the courage to test last night though!!!

Always wise to test - especially as it can go in your favour.... If tests results surprise you by being lower than you expected you'd know you could eat it again with impunity; not a guilty pleasure

 

[Sable_Jan]

10.4 this am although I am later up I did not expect it to be that high

That would call for a thorough handwash and retest for me.....

6.4 this morning
