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

[Outlier]

I do hope your cat is recovering well, IWTYC. It's awful when one's animal is ill.

5.2 today, 6 days no metformin, seems to be working so far.

6.2, but had less cheese earlier last night. Hoping it comes down on its own over the next few months.

5.4 this morning.

 

[RoughcutAU]

7.6 (after an overnight cautious correction) my own fault - should have skipped dessert instead of miscalculating it.

Any reason you can think of? Is this very unusual for you?

Morning All. 7.1 ..was getting used to sticky sixes. @Zhnyaka hope you are ok now.

Morning all. @iwilltouchyourcat, hope your cat is on the road to recovery. Thanks @PenguinMum. 8.4 last night and 7.7 this morning.

Hello mates,
At a couple of the other forums I've frequented there was a thread like this one where we all sorta checked in each day, with our first cup of coffee or tea, and reported our fasting or waking blood glucose level and some short comment about whether we're ok with it or if not - why not?...

It worked well as a sort of 'first thread to check' each morning and post to.

I'll start.

This morning was a 5.6mmol for me. That's about normal for me

What about you?

,Morning all 8.5

 

[Zhnyaka]

@Estragon, yes, I know the reason. Too much sugar to relieve hypoglycemia. This is usually for me, but it's still sad

@PenguinMum Thanks, I'm ok now

 

[Estragon]

Too much sugar to relieve hypoglycemia.

Really appreciate your willingness to share - thank you. Tell me, is that free sugar or carbs or both?

Yeah, I’ve maybe drunk a pint of fruit juices over two years? My personal Kryptonite are any any carbostiens: rice, potatoes, pasta and bread. I’m sure others - visitors - reading this will be getting the “picture”. Again, thanks for sharing.
