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

[Wookie1974]

5.7 this morning. Haven't had any metformin for over a week now.

5.2 à la Swipey - high, wide and distinctly not handsome. Stick or twist time for the more expansive diet but the end of a Libre isn't the most useful data gathering period.

A 6.8 today.

5.4 for me

Good morning all,

4.8 this morning.

@mojo37 -- Hugs for higher than desired fasting levels, lack of sleep and busy day at work today.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Nothing today ...was munching through my toast when I remembered! It could have been good as had fish last night. Enjoy Saturday.

5.3 this morning. Really surprised as had pizza last night. Still, not something to repeat too often

8.7 on finger prick and 7.7 on Libre... I cant work out why is it so high except that for last few days my daughter had slight fever and throat infection and perhaps I have got it as well. Its still fairly good considering i am not taking any medication and still the readings are all in single digits... but it is making me scared if what i saw early on was temporary and soon things will go haywire again. I just need to keep myself motivated and stay the course....

During the high blood glucose days I had developed an eye sty.. it was even operated once back in 2015 and the more recent one subsided after applying the eye ointment pharmacist gave... I have this morning however woke up to a scary looking black mole kind of thing on my lower eyelid on the inside... not visible normally but only when i pulled the eyelid down to check the redness i saw this horrible looking thing... I wonder if its Infact the sty getting healed with a month of normal sugar levels and this is the dried out skin and will fall off by itself... I would consult the surgery if and when they can give me an appointment but all the above combined are are making me just too worried and depressed

Would be keen to hear if anyone has experience of this kind of stuff...

5.7 for me

7.2 this morning. Maybe the late night slice of carrot cake i gave in to is responsible.?

 

[annabell1]

7.0 but I'm eating more fruit

 

[Andydragon]

5.0 today

 

[ianpspurs]

5.5 from new Swipey - completely suboptimal if in any way true. New sensor is "having a moment" it appears - bless.

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. 6.1 today. Happy Sunday.

 

[Ryhia]

6.2 today bloods seem to have a mind of their own at present.

 

[nutribolt]

5.4 on finger prick and 4.8 on libre. I am also getting visible symptoms of a stuffy nose and bit of cough so perhaps that explains relatively higher numbers.

Have a good day everyone.
