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

    5.5 FBG this morning. Blowing a hooley out there but slept through the worst of it. This seems like the longest winter ever.

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

    5.5 FBG this morning. The morning after a lemon cheesecake dessert (yum!) and a serious night out, didn’t get to bed until 2am. Go figure!

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

    7.4 FBG first thing, half an hour later (ablutions & crashing around the kitchen) it was 6.4. I’m taking the latter. To see better what’s going on, I put on a Libre CGM, but unfortunately it malfunctioned before it got going. Abbot are going to replace but it was the only one I had left. [emoji57]

    6.1 FBG this morning. A bit better. Day off today so less stressed.

    6.9 FBG this morning. It was after a bath and getting breakfast organised, went out last night and working today so needed to MOVE quickly, I hate going out midweek, its just exhausting :D

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

    FBG 6.7 first thing this morning. No time to do another one and running out of test strips so will save my energy for fighting this cold. Not had a cold for a couple of years and its come as a bit of a shock to the system.

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

    ‘Foot on the Floor’ phenomenon? A burst of glucose released to get the body up and out of bed, which has disappeared by the time you get downstairs. I get something like that, although I keep my meter downstairs in the kitchen and sometimes only get around to testing after I’ve put the kettle...

    5.9 FBG this morning. Felt pretty toxic overnight with sore throat and the sweats, but hopefully the worst is over. Chinese banquet later so need to get smartened up. Negotiating the rice, noodles and sticky sauces is always a challenge

    FBG 5.4 this morning, no messing. The sniffy nose is threatening to morph into a full blown, old fashioned cold, complete with sore throat and croaky voice. Rest of me is fine! Ah well, suppose it had to happen some time, I’ve not had a cold for years.

    At 7.30am, FBG was 7.6, forty mins later after I’d got dressed & had a scoot around the kitchen, it was 5.2. Definitely foot on the floor going on there! Have a good day all

    fever tree tonic

    Equally annoying is the fact they don’t make a sugar free version. Or if they do, the supermarkets and bars don’t stock it.

    Another 6.4 this morning. Disappointing, though I did forget to take the metformin last night. Temperature running a bit high overnight and a bit sniffy so maybe fighting off a bug. Off for a gentle swim later, got to keep moving.

    Up and down like a see saw at the moment - FBG 6.4 this morning. Last working day before Easter so hopefully a less stressful time ahead.

    Celeriac - serving suggestions & NI help

    Celeriac is one of my favourite potato substitutes - it looks rather ugly but it makes a brilliant mash (obligatory knob of butter!) and is also pretty good roasted. I'd like it shredded like the French do in a remoulade with mayo, but I can't get it to shred finely enough. It doesn't spike my...

    5.4 FBG this morning. Fish for dinner worked its magic trick and its already Tuesday. Have a good day all

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

    Afternoon all. FBG this morning was 5.9, so staying in the right general zone for me. Went for a swim & now baking some sugar free cookies for treats. I find it easier to resist the full blown sugar fest that is Easter if I’ve got an alternative that isn’t going to blast my BG into the...

    Back to a more reasonable 5.7 FBG this Saturday morning. That’s more like it!
