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

6.5 today….it seems like a struggle and I’m frustrated as I know I’m eating so very few carbs and don’t eat past 5. It is what it is…
Gym was some legs, abs, a walk and a killer yoga class which spiked my sugar…
Cold again today, and windy which makes it so much worse.
 
6.4. fingerprick. libre 5.9
dr prescribed some tramadol to pop back in couple weeks time was offered some morphine which refused. will see how fair with it this evening, last night was a little whoozy still didn't sleep good. this evening taken pregabalin waiting couple of hours before tramadol
 
libre 6.1 fingerprick will likely be a little higher. beta cells not producing as effeciently/dying off or something? stomach seems more accurate (for me) than back of upper arm for libre so far... anyway.

wasnt as whoozy with taking tramadol after a couple hours after pregabalin :)

happy mothers day to all mothers out there enjoy your day.

2.9 cgm
4.3 fingerprick

V surprised at how not high it was - last night i was at 4.6 so I had what I thought would be a a bg-spiking biscuit and a cuppa and half an hour later was at 3.7 (really don't get what happened here, but its happened a couple of times now) so panicked, downed half a mini coke and went to bed on a 9.something reading

I seem to be v unlucky with malfunctioning tech (every other sensor pretty much, both dexcom and libre) and keep having panic attacks at the false lows :banghead: also burning through test strips like nobody's business... sometimes it feels like my cgms should come with a "for entertainment only" label

New dexcom activated this morning and it's reading a unit higher than fingerpricks. I'm finding keeping on top of it all almost impossible

My readings are always higher than the stabbing of fingers, for the first 3 days its haywire then settles,
 
Dexcom 6.5 @ 7am
Meter 6
Last night I presumed my Dexcom had got stuck as I was floating on 4.3 for hours. I went to bed at 12:30am to see if any change and bg started to increase at 11:00pm eventually rising to 6 at 12:30. Seems my DP starts early!
 
6.4 today….my Dexcom is a hot mess in the morning but good all day and night. It was reading 5.2 today….since that never happens I did double check. 6.4 it is.
Our last cold day today….jaut sitting at zero now but tomorrow it will be 12, then 16 for a bit….yippee.
Gym today was legs, abs and a 40 min walk.
Thinking of doing a European river cruise this fall then adding a train trip across Canada on the way home. I did book the train as it’s very popular and books quickly…a November departure is not so desirable but I didn’t want to miss out. Need new passports too…
