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

8.1 this morning. Better than some but nowhere in the region i want to be. Didn't post yesterday but got a 7.5 first thing. That was a bit of an aberration as taken at 0430 far from usual owing to having to drop friends off at airport. A good few hours from my usual "foot on floor" time.

4.6 libre when checked around 5am been awake since back of 3. lots of snow was forecast overnight warm thou so currently raining washed away the little that had. Boxroom - sorted 10 boxes into just 3 keeping. Mostly years old paperwork ... recycling centre to dispose when opens. Making start on other boxes in the room later. Photo albums is next up on list to sort through. Have got so many the same. will take digital photograph of each of them then try to organise on pc, will keep original photos only of the ones i really like, then see how many are actually duplicates at a later date. Hope to have whole house redecorated by summer and getting rid of as much as possible. Lost lot of family members over recent years. lots from my late mums house/grans/aunts & uncles went between mine and my sis's house shes popping into mine later to help, and wants help with hers after. Ornaments/paintings etc will be harder to sort out.

Enjoy your day

Well done re decluttering ...I always mean ( and usually start but never finish ) to sort the house and shed loads of "stuff " that I have accumulated over the years . It can be very emotional .

8.9 this morning, readings all over the place this year with no apparent reason why. Wondering if I am heading for a metaphorical fall? Have been walking 7-10 miles every day but that doesn't seem to bring down numbers as well as keeping carbs between 50-100g. Worried that medication may be altered if continues.

Give yourself more time I have fallen off the wagon big time since before Christmas . Waiting for new sensors to arrive so don't really know what my bloods are but they were in the 8's and 9's around first week of the year ...own fault .

Yep same as me . The main thing is not to let it get you down and you have taken positive steps to address.

My mother in law had some beautiful silver trays she couldn’t give to anyone in the family, same with crystal. One generation’s treasure is another one’s boring. Keep youngsters aware of family heirlooms.
