Good morning all. I had a fasting reading of 5.2 this morning after a reading of 5.3 at bedtime last night.

Bullies, discrimination of any kind, bad manners, parents who let their kids run amok & spoil things for everyone else, unkind spiteful people, being a clumsy clod, toast crumbs in the bed, cold feet!!
yesterday was 7.3 which is high. Wife was just diagnosed with cancer which has put a strain on us. Normally between 5.5 and 6.5 in the morning.
HbA1c in August was 5.5

@merishar. So sorry to hear about your wife. That stress is bound to affect your FBG's. Wishing you both well.

Right, down to business. I woke up this morning feeling hideous. Sweating, shakes, nauseous, banging headache...full on hypo. BG was
3.6 when I tested. WAY too low for me. Recovering now. Good day folks.

That sounds awful, @PatsyB. I hope you're feeling better soon.

I got 3.7 this morning, which threw me off a bit. Tested again, and got 4.3. I'm happy to split the difference.

Good morning all. I had a fasting reading of 6.0 this morning after a reading of 5.8 at bedtime last night. Feeling a bit poorly and only managed 2 hours sleep last night so I'm off back to bed after a cup of coffee.
