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

[ChrisT2]

8.4 still wallowing in the 8's. Recent experience has found that when the wheels come off it takes no time at all to boost the readings but several days, maybe even weeks to get them back down and under some sort of control. Starting that long journey and Libre fitting in New Year which should help. Got to keep smiling and relish the challenge.

7.5 at 6am. Woke up itching everywhere, had fresh cream 2 days ago and have paid the price of dairy since with nasty readings and itchy, but no rash yet. Going for a work out to try and get the itch out

Good morning everyone. My reading was 4.61 mmol/L around 7 a.m. -- back on track. I stayed well hydrated throughout the day yesterday. It's sunny and cold today. Which is much nicer than rain. Wishing everyone a great day ahead.

6.2 today. Getting warmer…yippee. It did snow a wee bit yesterday, nothing terrible. The roads, the main ones, are pretty good, the side roads…not so much. Did get to the gym for a nice walk, some abs, legs and a tough yoga class. Just sipping my after lunch tea. It’s cloudy but only minus 3.
Four weeks until Mexico! Yes, the countdown is on.

Sitting drinking my morning cuppa when I realised I had forgotten to test. Oops!

Up & ready for the gym but just read about a major fire in town yesterday, 2 buildings with asbestos roofs gone round the corner from the gym, not going into town with my dodgy lungs, home workout it is
Take care everyone

libre 5.3 got fed up with alarms last night turned it off putting down to compression low fingerprick 4.8 libre said 3.2. so tempted to try my stomach or something to see if that helps with compression lows.

@Lainie71 hope the itch got better for you. my mum used to use e45 itch relief came in a fairly large pump bottle said it worked pretty good

@Bcgirl where in mexico u off to. little further south for you, hopefully find it nice and cosy

Libre 2.9 (keeping the last sensor on for the heck of it til it runs out); dexcom and fingerprick 6.7. So glad I'm switching to dexcom, just kicking myself for relying on dodgy libre readings for far too long (esp the overnight ones)

I had an alarm last night libre said three point something and contour next read six point one. I put it down to leaving the electric blanket on, albeit low. Jolly annoying mind

FBG around 7 a.m. today was 4.66 mmol/L. Good hydration really makes a difference. Yesterday was sunny and beautiful; today is cold and cloudy, with plenty of rain ahead. Have a nice day, everyone.

 

[Lainie71]

7.5 this morning and not itching as I took an antihistamine last night and slept for ages. Felt hung over without the alcohol. Didn't manage a work out yesterday but will tomorrow

6.8 today.
Cloudy and cool, it feels like snow but it’s not forecast…fingers crossed it doesn’t!
Good workout today, leg weights and a good walk. Did some shopping…don’t know how the roads are worse today than yesterday, it’s slippery!

 

[Bcgirl]

@grantg , we are heading to Mazatlan this year, haven’t been there for twenty years! Rented a condo and have 15 days to enjoy the warm weather. We love the Huatulco area but it’s way too hot for us now.

 

[flonvic]

6.4 for me today

 

[OrsonKartt]

Contour next six point six

Libre five point seven

 

[DEBBIESCOTT]

Libre 4.3
Last day of gomad so walking with the running club & coffee after, I’ll be pushing my 12 week grandson
Overdid the workouts yesterday so taking it easy
Take care everyone

Still in the high 8's at a rather disappointing 8.7 especially after a low carb day yesterday. Expect to be some time before morning readings improve although did drop to low 6's during the day which has been a first for last couple of weeks. Work to be done.
