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

[DJC3]

Thanks for asking. Actually had a spell of not exercising for three days and saw fasting levels slowly start drifting upwards. Plus there was one day of too many calories (+600 over daily requirement) and carbs (over 50g) the day before yesterday -- actually was a bit surprised that the outcome wasn't any worse than it was.

Really well done on your fasting levels yesterday, @DJC3.

It’s amazing how quickly things can change isn’t it? You have terrific self discipline to turn it around so quickly though

Morning All. 6.6 and high temp again so defo still fighting but proud of my body’s defences. Thanks @ziggy_w and @DJC3 for kind wishes and good to see you both back in “the zone”.

You should be proud! You’re a fighter, well done, and I really hope you start to feel better tomorrow.

5.0 today. My averages are still below 5 also so all very pleasing. Remains to be seen if I can reduce metformin but looking optimistic

5.6 for me

 

[DJC3]

I’m a bit fed up - fbg is 6.6 today but I can’t figure out why.

Hello all,

@PenguinMum -- You are really doing very well considering you are still fighting Covid. I'm sure once the virus is out of your system (which based on what I have read might take a while), your numbers will get back to normal too.
@DJC3 -- Hugs for your frustrations.
@AhmadGhanem -- Welcome to the thread and I agree with @Pipp, 5.7 is a good number.

Fasting levels this morning were 4.7 for me.

Morning All. 6.5 today for me. Thanks for the support @ziggy_w.
Hugs to @DJC3 so annoying I know when there’s no reason for it.

6.3 this morning which is so much better than it has been lately

 

[JohnEGreen]

7.8 this morning can't remember when my fbg was that high before it being so long ago and can't account for it

4.9 today, take care everyone

4.2 this morning. I ate half an apple, blueberries and keir yoghurt at midnight.

Another in the 8's with a 8.6

Bloods 5.9 this morning - good to see liver working well.

7.7 this morning. Why?
1) pre-midnight feast last night to last me through fasting bloodwork this morning
2) poor post-midnight sleep due to fasting bloodwork this morning and watching election non-results
3) the brain may control the blood, liver, et al., but it cannot understand the results up with which they come

Re your point 3 my brain doesn't need to be confounded its pretty dysfunctional at the best of times.

Hope all goes well with the blood results.

34.6 due to hypo at 1 a.m fridge is empty now lol

 

[Pipp]

Just scrapedin to the fives with 5.9.

 

[Andydragon]

4.0 today.

i don’t test so often (2-4 times a day) but my averages are now under 5 (4.6 7day, 4.8 21day). So, been over a month off the bydureon now, the rise I expected hasn’t happened

I’m a lucky boy that the weight loss and cutting carbs has worked so well and that I haven’t needed to go as low carb as some

5.5 for me
