4.9
It took several attempts to get any blood at all. Hands were warm, but no blood. In the end I had to put the lancet setting to 5. Usually 3 will do. Even then it was like drawing blood from a stone.
Do any of you struggle to get blood in the mornings. If so what do you do about it.
I struggled for the first time this morning , similar to you but didn’t go deeper just tried 3 different fingers.
Fasting BG 5.8 this morning at 0630 , struggling with a painful shoulder so didn’t sleep too well, so went for a short run for the first time outdoors in nearly 30 years. We bought a treadmill the week of my diagnosis in Nov 2020 and I’ve gone from running like a newborn giraffe on that to going a bit faster and further. I had to complete a Bruce protocol treadmill test in January for work and having not run for so long meant some training was required.
Quick shower and now off to work to see what chaos gets thrown at me today, it’s never boring.
My first post on this chat, I’ll try and make some of it interesting !
