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

6.8 to start the day. Just a couple of days left on the CGM and have been enjoying the experimentation with different foods, diet and exercise. Personally I think it is the only way to go in order to get a grip on diabetes. @OrsonKartt it is such a shame that those who claim to be managing our condition are in denial of both the science and peoples self determination in controlling the disease. The fact that they refuse to discuss or accept findings and just dispense more pills is so frustrating and soul destroying. It will change one day but until then best to go it alone. Good luck.

Thanks. I guess I’m just trying to be self empowered and that’s always going to be a bit of a battle

how long have you waited on the replacement? might be worth calling abbots up and seeing if they can look at the tracking information for you incase it perhaps went missing? (i would be chasing up on day 3... although i am somewhat inpatient with waiting around for deliveries...)

there telephone number is: 08001701177

It came about 11am thanks :)
 
6.3 this morning and still got sinus niggles. May have to resort to sinutab or something similar. Just want this gone, nose isn't blocked but obviously irritation as my sinus's were swollen yesterday but not now :banghead:
 
5.6 this morning. Smoke is still lingering but not as bad as yesterday. It’s a huge fire, 19 square km, and still out of control. They did reopen the highway today.
Just back from the biopsy, all went well. Should have results in a week or so.
With the smoke the temperatures are much cooler…..I don’t know what to wish for!
 
6.9 after a lie in this morning, head still stuffy but not as bad today. Squirrel has been busy burring their nuts in my garden, so funny watching I will have lots acorn trees next year!
