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

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. Very upset to report 7.2 which I havent seen since dx more than 3 years ago.

 

[DJC3]

5.2 this morning.
@PenguinMum I can understand your feelings, it’s hard not to feel very down about a higher than expected fbg. I’m sure it’s anxiety - mine were up in the 7s and 8s a week or 2 ago and the only thing different was that I felt really stressed. It will pass, hang in there, you’re doing fine.

Good morning all,

@PenguinMum -- Hugs, I definitely empathize with you. Maybe you're coming down with something. Keeping my fingers crossed that tomorrow's reading will be much improved.

Fasting bloods this morning were 4.6.

Morning all. Hugs @PenguinMum and as @DJC3 says stress/scoreboard pressure/cabin fever to blame. It will right itself. 4.4 Libre reader +3 mins 4.9 phone then Dawn P came over all savage. Used wine and 24k steps yesterday to go off piste - always worry about using alcohol that way.

5.1 when I woke, that said i went back off to sleep again and woke to a 5.4!

Happy because last night was chicken tika chili and garlic from local Indian take away. I had it with my cauli rice and my bs love it as much as me. Fathers day and I wasn't cooking!

@PenguinMum it's very frustrating for you at the moment but we are living in such challenging times and I'm sure once we get back a little more normality your fbs will follow suit.

Delighted with 6.2 this morning as at beginning of March was in the 8s and 9s. Looks like lower carbing is taking effect.
