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

Ohhh, my pancreas is not happy. 6.8 this morning! That’s VERY high for me. I checked again after coffee…6.8 again. This does happen every once in a while so I won’t stress unless it keeps happening. Yesterday was very low carb….
Gym today was upper body weights and a long incline/speed walk. Had to grab some teabags at Walmart then home for lunch. I was 6.3 before eating….sigh…
 
Libre 4.1 appears to be reading a fair bit lower than fingerprick. Tested around 1am libre whining 2.9 fingerprick was 4.3

Attached last night's graph. Had breakfast already. Cold today brrrr wrap up warm.

Who else is looking forward to forecasted snow? -) love snow even though hate driving in it.

6.9 at 0630
After an unplanned sort of fast 45hours apart from a small previously roasted chicken leg on Monday early afternoon.. b.s.still hovered about 6.5..
Before evening meal down to 5.3..
The fbs stubbornly remains around the sevens ..
I went back to the forum from 2019. After a year from diagnosis my average fbs was about 5.2. And I've put on about 16 kilos since then and got less active..
I'm now about 10 kilos down from my top weight in 2018..
Work in progress

i recall hospitals used to use powdered eggs wonder if they still do was something to do with keeps better alongside a lot less prep for safety doesnt need to be cooked as well or something like that

They still have in grocery stores," dried whole egg powder. I wouldn't touch that.
 
A decent 6.1 today. What a difference a day makes.
Gym was rest of upper body weights and some walking. I then went for a haircut…my ears are going to get cold now.
Tested my blood before lunch and it was a surprising 5.1. Happiness…..
 
Brrrr.

( note to self , this time of the year it’s good to have a going away somewhere warm plan)

Heating on. Kettle on.

Libre says six


Joy rider in my very straight road last night managed to crash into a parked car with much noise and a a domino effect on other parked cars. My tiny fiat untouched

Much to be grateful for

When we’ve been abroad omelettes are made with powdered eggs, better off sticking to fried eggs, worth trying

Thanks for the advice but fortunately the chef makes a great flamboyant display of preparing and cooking the omelette mix with freshly cracked eggs and milk to order. However the only suspicious ingredients are the cooking oil and maybe milk, I never put milk in my own omelettes, just eggs so suspect that may be the culprit.
However despite the poor start, the whole day continues on a trend of bad choices of which I am totally to blame but more than happy to accept if it means enjoying a late holiday. Obviously I could avoid many of the offerings and starve myself but we have to live life and I know that back home things will be different.
In a way it just goes to show how harmful my life was before taking notice of carbs and their effect on BS and it also shows how even a minor "falling off the wagon" has a rapid effect on readings. Good luck to all in your own challenges.
