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

[Estragon]

7.8 - “Mustn’t grumble, ....... mustn’t grumble”

 

[Estragon]

It was 4.4 at 6AM this morning

Wow, I’d take that to the Bank all day and every Tuesday! Well done.

4.6 today. A complete surprise, no wine yesterday but lots of red meat so I was expecting higher. Went to bed on 6.4, that usually means fbg will be in 6s too.

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. 6.1 from Mr Libre, 6.4 the usual way. Hot, poor animals.

4.7 today. Be glad when a bit of rain comes in and cools things down

5.8 today.

Was 8.0 bedtime last night so can't complain.

 

[ianpspurs]

5.3 on Swipey which isn't where I need to be but not alarming.

Like I expected, it was a fairly high 8.1 this morning.

I am experimenting with some food groups and I am inclined to believe based on my little experiment that mixing certain food groups results in higher readings even if relatively lower carbs in this instance lamb and chicken along with broccoli salad - overall carbs intake of yesterday was also higher though than my usual intake at possibly around 80gms although all of it is through complex carb and lot of fibrous sources.

Of course this can be a complete fabrication of my imagination at this point, but doesn't stop me from keeping things exciting in the kitchen...

It also means numbers should start getting better by tomorrow as now am in fasting and next eating activity will now only be on Thursday morning , body permitting of course.

Have a great day everyone.

I was at 11.1 mmol/l before breakfast this morning.

That should be seen in the context of it being over 33 mmol/l just 3 weeks ago. My meter wouldn't go any higher.

I'm afraid I fell off the wagon during the pandemic. I was jolted back into action when my most recent HBA1C test was 150.

So the fight continues.

Wish me luck.

Good luck @Inchindown. The fightback starts here.

Well done for getting back on the wagon. You can do this.

5.8 this morning. A long drive up to London ahead of us today, not looking forward to it much.

 

[Estragon]

8.0 - Yup, three peaches last night after Greek Spinach Baked Pie.

 

[karen8967]

5.5 for me

 

[nutribolt]

4.9 at 6AM, 32 hours into fasting.

Have a great day everyone.

Aw, man! Yes of cause. Keep coming back here to get some support, if yah want to. The Struggle-Down keeps on going.

 

[ianpspurs]

5.2 on Swipey very, very beige. @DJC3 I hope the journey goes as well as it can and whatever the reason for the journey has a satisfactory or even better outcome.

Unbelievably, 5.4 this morning despite not sleeping well... it's almost like things are random!
