5.5 not fasting but 3.15am, couldn't sleep attacked a slice of toast still couldn't sleep off to work now, have a good day all, catch up later.
 
So, on the way to the airport, toothbrush -check, passport - check, boarding pass - check, baggage - check, phone - check, wallet - check, are you guessing how this ends up? BG meter - err..., err... (unprintable) :(

Nah, I'm not on insulin. It's annoying because I went to a lot of trouble to get extra strips. Even worse there was no chance of turning around to get the meter. It was hiding in its little black case, in disguise on my desk.

Opps any chance of getting a spare out there, if you can. Just stick to the food your OK with and try not too worry. Give those fingers a rest.
 
Morning all. Fasting is 6.0 today. Bit strange as I have now got back on the wagon after a week of carb laden food, perhaps it's just the residue. Normally I am high 4's low 5's. But I will take the odd 6 when I know I deserve it;)

Just tested 2hrs post brekky of strawberries and alpro yoghurt 5.8. Going in right direction.

Feeling OK? A non-diabetic might be feeling peckish with a BG at this level but probably not unwell. Any lower than that though and I guess maybe not feeling so good.

See that another think that I don't understand about this diabetic malarkey if I get a reading under 4 I have the shakes and can't concentrate , I've always been like this when hungry ...well since my teens and certainly not diabetic ..maybe I just have a panicky body no food for a few hrs and my hands shake lol :confused:
 
6.5 mmol / L this morning after roughly 7 hours sleep. Bed time was closer to midnight but, still the wrong side of it. Bed time Blood Glucose reading 5.5 mmol / L.
