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

Hello from sunny Mexico. The last three days, 5.6, 5.9, 5.5…..seems this relaxing vibe is good for me. Or is it the 25,000 steps every day? Food has been good and I’m so happy I filled my suitcase with low carb things as it’s a bread, corn and sugar society here. I just can’t eat out..sad but true. I’d rather be healthy. I did though split a magnum ice cream with hubby, and it was delightful. Four more days.

I live in Northern California, close to the Mexican border. Mexican cuisine features staples like corn tortillas, grilled beef (carne asada), beer, beans, and traditional sweets, along with a wide variety of seafood dishes.
 
Dawn here in Brisbane about five thirty. It’s warm and bright

I’m staying with my sister a vegetarian. I’ve been cooking low carb stir fries with lots of garlic and ginger

Woke this morning with glucose levels according to libre at six. Foot on the floor seven point five

I have a continuous BGM Freestyle Libre and it said my blood sugars were going low at 5.2 first thing this morning. I thought I would do a finger prick test and that came back at 11.2. What's a girl to do! Which one do I believe. HELP!

Always believe fingerprick over cgm. Sometimes they can be inaccurate when large difference let abbots know and they will replace. What did you set libre to alarm at out of curiosity. I don't bother usually unless sub 4
