What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

3.2 early this !morning but no hypo symptoms!!!!!!!!
Cmon engerland!.
No I didn't stay up could Not
keep my brain on. Fell asleep dreaming I was in the heat in my garden.FBGs 5.9 except in the last jifteene minutes.

Yippee.
 
Good afternoon all. Fbs this morning was 8.8. Surprisingly lower than usual as I have been eating extra food at specific times of the day with my antibiotics! Last one was taken with breakfast this morning. My blood test results so far have been normal. Just 2 tests to do including an ECG on Thursday. I am definitely in less pain than I have been for some time so maybe the antibiotics have had their effect on my diverticulitis which is one of the possible causes of my unpleasant symptoms. My injured foot is also healing well so fingers crossed I may soon feel human again and can resume "normal" activities. My best wishes to you all. Keep cool in this new heat spell. :)
 
6.2 at 02.45 today.

Went to bed early - exhausted after a day when I found it hard to breath again. Had to call off a Zoom meeting - not even enough breath to talk. Not so bad today though. That seems to be the way it goes - a bad day followed by a much less bad day. Then another bad day. Just need to enjoy the slightly better day while it lasts.
 
Blood sugars this Morening were 3.2 whoops, now 6.9

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen and those who inhabit a busy world, hopefully eye will be able to work on the third of the child’s outdoor bench seat I am making, also during the heat of afternoon partake in an afternoon nap. Retirement is a hard life!

Stay cool, stay safe and be vigilant crossing roads electric cars are silent.
 
Blood sugars this morning were 8.3

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and those who skipped the light fandango while turning some cartwheels across the floor.

Today is national bin day, not a lot of people know that, this last sentence is to be read in a Michael Caine voice, oh and keep those spears to yourself.

This heat is really messing up my blood sugar readings, stress and more stress.

Now it is time to be elsewhere, cool I hope!
 
9.4 at 03.00 today.

Legs day today but I'm still feeling a bit grotty. Ah well - just get on with it.

EDIT: Back from town. Blood test and ECG results not available yet. Wonder what the delay is. Comfortably warm in my new jacket (had to get a new one to go round the ever expanding me) but overcast and spits of rain in the air. Temperature is around 15C. Slight breeze - must have been stronger during the night - some of my pot plants are over and some shifted considerably to new positions (one on the path below its normal place).
 
Blood sugars this morning were 7.7

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen, o to live a desert climate where frosts inhabit the night and early morning. It will be too hot again for woodworking outside and therefore a chance to catch up on my reading and playing killer sudoku.
Now away be must eye
 
Good morning all. fbs this morning was 9.4. My test results have come back as normal. :) I still feel very weak and my legs feel heavy when I'm walking. It must be the after effects of my illness and strong antibiotics. I guess it will take time to get my energy back.This humidity doesn't help! 32 degrees expected today. Stay as cool as you can and be well and happy.
 
6.4 at 03.30 today.

Still feeling grotty and exhausted. I bought some B12 tablets some time ago, thinking it might help and then managed to lose the bottle of them before I had even opened it. A couple of days ago, I gave up and ordered another packet and they arrived this morning. And guess what I found just sitting there in the medicine drawer this morning!:banghead::banghead:
 
6.4 at some stage earlier today. Was that FBG? Or was it the 5.4 around 10.00? It was a ridiculously mixed up night. I was exhausted and went to bed at 22.15. I knew that was too early but I couldn't hold out any longer. Then I went and sat on the edge of my bed and couldn't even climb into bed I was so exhausted. Kind of dozed sitting there. A bit later I managed to climb into bed but even laying on my side, I couldn't breath and had to get up again. Through to the kitchen then - around 00.30 and sat in the big chair but didn't fall asleep again until about 02.00. Woke again at 04.00 and took some painkillers. That was the 6.4 reading. Dozed off again until just before 08.00. Cup of tea and dozed again until 09.30. Took some more painkillers at 10.00.

We'll see how the rest of the day goes.

Bright and almost sunny here but a strong breeze. Temperature said to be 15C but there's a bit of wind chill going on. Another 4-layer day.
 
5.5 this morning.

It is quite funny this year as Mr K and I seemed to have swapped allergies I normally have a tree pollen allergy and Mr K normally has a grass pollen allergy.

However, this year Mr K had a really severe tree pollen allergy and we joked that perhaps we had swapped allergies as l, for the first time ever, hardly had any problems with tree pollen.

I am not laughing now as for the first time ever I have a really severe grass pollen allergy which caused me to almost lose my voice. Luckily, a combination of an antihistamine and A Vogel herbal allergy drops and nose spray is working.

Mr K has been very naughty and has joked that the house was so lovely and quiet when I virtually lost my voice. Don't worry - he paid for it:)
 
Blood sugars this morning were 5.8

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen, the rumour is today will be cooler, whoopy, I shall still wear my knitted mankini, yep we is at the cutting edge of sartorial elegance, here in Tilehurst Towers.

Stay safe, stay cool and something or other
