Morning all. Exactly 4.0 today. Guessing it’s lower as for the first time in ages I was woken by my alarm so in a deep sleep. That, and fish for dinner!

Four day week today - off away for the weekend. Yay!

Have a good day all and @DJC3 good luck today. Thinking of you.

Morning all and thank you so much for your good wishes for the scan today.
Wasn’t going to check bg this morning as I assumed it’d be sky high, but old habits die hard and I did - 5.3 I’m quite frankly amazed!
Hope its a good omen for the rest of the day!

Have a lovely day everyone

5.6 for me at 0700.
Couple of things about the Freestyle Libra;
I could see that I dipped below 3 at around 2am.
After my sauna yesterday I foolishly checked my reading (you can just hold your phone to the disc and the app does the rest).
Reading of 9.3 - Whaaaat!!!!!
Dashed downstairs and did a finger prick test - 5.3.
Freestyle Libra not likee saunas.
Have a great day if you can.

Morning all a miserable 6.8 for me this morning....yesterday morning was 6.5 and at the end of the 16 hour fast was 5.4.

That’s not miserable. It’s within the commonly accepted limits of moment-to-moment toxicity, and still gives you plenty of room to improve. Trends, and having the patience & curiosity to figure out what influences them over time is the key to success. Obsessing over the individual data points is merely the key to stress :)
