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

    Happy to report the 24 hour fast was successful. Before supper last night, 4.7, before bed, 5.3 and this morning a rare 5.2 Of course I’m back to normal now. Will do more fasts….just to play with my finicky pancreas. Another spectacular late summer day, just back from a nice walk at the...

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

    6.4….oh dear, a few extra carbs and all heck breaks loose. I decided last night (high sugar levels all day) that I would fast today until at least supper. Right now it’s 3:30 pm and I feel great, but I will eat a small carnivore supper…some pulled pork and devilled eggs. Got my hair done...

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

    6.0 today. Sunny, no smoke and a high of 28….now that’s a perfect summer day! Just returned from the lake where we had a lovely walk through the forest. I adore this time of year. Blood sugar weird today, was 7 before lunch…for no reason! I sometimes wonder why I even test as there’s no...

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

    Hmmm..6.3 today. Carry on Sunny and warm today and only a bit of smoke…can’t smell it but it’s very hazy….****** air quality even though it’s not especially noticeable. You can sure feel it if you work hard…. Sad day at the gym, a regular, who was just there yesterday, passed away last night...

    5.9 today. I feel super tired today, my gym workout was abysmal. Cloudy today with some smoke, hopefully we’ll get some rain today. My allergies are crazy and I don’t know why…

    5.5 today, Dexcom. Nice treadmill walk at the gym, half and hour, then and and some yoga. Still Smokey, the fire continues to grow and thunderstorms are in the forecast today and tomorrow. A very strange end to summer. Going to harvest my tomatoes today. My dog keeps picking them, rascal.

    5.6 this morning….stitll smokey. Blah… Did a 12 mile bike ride at the gym today as I can’t do weights for a few more days. Think I’ll do some gardening and some trip planning. Eating in Japan is a huge problem for me as I’m both low carb and gluten free (soy sauce is a big problem). I hate...

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

    5.6 this morning. Smoke is still lingering but not as bad as yesterday. It’s a huge fire, 19 square km, and still out of control. They did reopen the highway today. Just back from the biopsy, all went well. Should have results in a week or so. With the smoke the temperatures are much...

    I’m so sorry. This sounds so incredibly frustrating. I hope that things can get settled…any chance you can see a different specialist?

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

    5.7 this morning. A very Smokey morning there, sadly there’s a huge fire burning south of us and the smoke is engulfing the entire province. The sunrise was red, the skies are dark and , at this time, it’s getting worse as the smell is increasing. The main highway is closed between us and the...

    5.7 this morning…and the heat wave continues and warnings are back in effect. Joy…. Actually it’s not awful as it cools still at night. Good workout this morning, half an hour walk, 20 min on the bike, shoulders, chest and biceps. Just finished a dog walk. Apparently eating as I do, very low...

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

    5.7 today, Dexcom had a meltdown so we won’t count that number. Finally got a call from the hospital, go in this Friday for the biopsy. Happy with that. We just came back from one of our beautiful local lakes, gorgeous! It’s a hot one here again so hanging at the lake was super special. Did...

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

    Somewhere between 5.2 and 6.5….usually the Dexcom and blood test are really close. Hubby got his new car yesterday…we spent three hours at the insurance place…argggg. Still hot, warnings are gone because it cools at night, but low 30s during the day…it feels very hot. Went to the lake this...

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

    5.4 Dexcom, 5.8 blood prick. The hat continues but it’s not too awful as it really cools nicely at night and takes awhile to get really hot. Gym today was abs, yoga (no class, I do my own workout) and a 6.5 mile bike ride. Waiting impatiently for my hubby’s new car to be delivered….yes, a...

    6.1 this morning….this very warm morning. Heat warning continues, severe thunderstorm warnings and the heat continues as far as they can predict…next Wednesday at least. Still waiting for a call about a biopsy, I’m certainly getting annoyed. My head is not in a good place right now. Hot...

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

    5.5 today, super happy with that…and no idea why. I made a homemade pasta sauce with tomatoes and peppers from our garden and mixed in a bunch of ground beef….carby for sure and I also had a low carb bun with it (so good, homemade…best recipe for low carbs buns I’ve ever made) and two small...
