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

6.6 this morning. @Bcgirl I am 100% with you on the bafflement and frustration of roller coaster readings. Often I am advised to do plenty of exercise after meals or throughout the day but like yourself my BS numbers just go in the wrong direction which I am told is simply my liver over compensating. Whatever the reason it brings it home to me how illogical and sometimes confounding diabetes is making it's management so tricky and completely individual.
 
Yesterday I drove from the east coast of England where I live across country to Swansea in order to see bob dylan tonight.

I’d packed a dozen boiled eggs some amazing jars of roasted peppers in virgin olive oil and some cheeses which made a fabulous non glucose spike lunch

However on arrival in Swansea I was tempted and succumbed to two glasses of red wine and an Indian meal. Of course I avoided the rice, the papadum , all of the obvious carby stuff etc.

Due to the true wonders of the libre I noted as my glucose levels rise from five to just over seven where they stayed for more than twelve hours.


The last time I ate at an Indian restaurant was pre diagnosis , ten years ago !
 
Back down again, 5.6 this morning. The sun is shining and it’s warm, so off to the park!
I’m feeling cranky today, the world and all its hate causes me great stress….everyone seems so angry.
Gym was abs and a lovely yoga class, then groceries…..and the ever increasing prices.
Ate up all the leftovers in the fridge for lunch. Supper is steak.
 
On waking 4.9 yay. But by the time I'm ready for breakfast they have gone to 8mmol before ive eaten about an hour after waking. Because they are high before eating , my spike is the anything up to 10mmol. But by the time my 2 hours are uo im 4.8 to 5.1 mmol
 
5.9 today. Was at 5.2 last night which is quite low for me, I’ll take it.
I did go to the gym, upper body and a walk and bike ride. Home for Remembrance….the eleven o’clock (Remembrance Day in Canada) silence is something I will always do. Lest we forget…
