    New Diabetic with Type 2 - questions

    Sorry to bump my old thread, but this is an update (haven't been on here much lately - life getting in the way): Had my six monthly review, and I can report that I am now Metformin Free! HbA1C had increased slightly from 32 to 35, but that was mitigated by the nurse because she'd cut my...

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

    Back here after a "hiatus" due to life catching up and barely having a minute to breathe. A couple of blips over the last fortnight or so, but back down to bouncing around the 6.0-6.3 mark on average. I presume stress is a potential cause for spikes etc - in the process of selling my flat so...

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

    6.0 this morning, so very close to the green

    Seed crackers M&S

    Picked up 4 reduced boxes in Dartford yesterday, albeit with a short date... not fussed if they go past that really

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

    6.2 this morning, following a later than planned celebratory Chinese after Mrs C to be finally got some taste back. Absolutely no rhyme or reason, and after six months I still cannot get my head around it

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

    6.6 this morning, keeping on with a semi alarming trend of not really understanding what is going on, but still being within the range required.

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

    6.6 again, very little rhyme or reason for the fluctuations. Still, well within my 5-7 range

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

    A nasty 7.1 (accompanied by a 36 hour long headache) but down to 5.5 this morning (and fingers crossed, no headache). Three days of LFT and no sign of any 'Rona for me (turns out, three jabs and a dose of it under a year ago MIGHT make me the most powerful man alive). Mrs C to be labouring a...

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

    6.2 this morning - been around the 6/6.5 mark all week. Fiancee has tested positive on a LFT for the 'Rona so I have moved into her place to look after the kids in case of the worst happening (she is double jabbed, I am triple jabbed so it seems unlikely to be bad).

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

    6.5 this morning, but that is almost solely due to the protein bar I had far too late last night - could feel the tummy rumbling and the sweet tooth itching so thought I would kill two birds with one stone... big mistake, it seems.

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

    Building a good little run at the moment, despite feeling like death until yesterday (now feeling much brighter, praise be upon whatever you worship) - 5.4 this morning, a very pleasing figure in the green. I'm aiming to get down to under the fives at some point in the rest of the month which...

    5.2 this morning, and I hope that's the last lingering Covid booster effect well and truly gone!

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

    Slept very poorly again, and every fibre of my body aches but bloods down to 5.7 so back in the green!

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

    I had the Pfizer booster following two doses of Astrazenica

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

    6.5 this morning, largely down to my Covid booster yesterday and the horrific night's sleep/temperature I have now
