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

    6.7 this morning. Won't be testing and reporting regularly over the next couple of weeks as off on holiday. Unfortunately my wife believes holidays should be a total break from routine and just enjoy ourselves including eat, drink and be merry. Sadly I have found holiday choices are never easy...

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

    5.8 today, nothing ever constant. CGM expired yesterday, been a great 3 weeks and eye opener of experimentation. So many things that buck the popular trends for diabetics, eg. exercise after meals to reduce BS, complete waste of time as just spikes results not lowers them. Fasting does nothing...

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

    A welcome 5.8 this morning, bit surprised as got up late and still managed a below 6 reading. Enjoy your weekend.

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

    6.8 to start the day. Just a couple of days left on the CGM and have been enjoying the experimentation with different foods, diet and exercise. Personally I think it is the only way to go in order to get a grip on diabetes. @OrsonKartt it is such a shame that those who claim to be managing our...

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

    A reasonable 6.6 today, did test a bit later this morning as had to rush downstairs and accept a parcel from the postie, not sure why they delivered so early.

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

    A welcome but eyebrow raising 5.3 this morning. No idea why so low after a 7 yesterday but will take it anyway. Double checked on the CGM getting 4.1 so must be correct.

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

    6.5 today, stress levels returning to normal. Horrors have gone back home and now a chance to reconstruct the home after last 2 days of chaos and destruction. Happy weekend all.

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

    Had an ideal opportunity for a low blood reading being up at 5am as young grandkids here for a sleep over. Sadly total chaos and bedlam from the minute they woke up and never got the chance to test until now (0830) and got a 7. Not too worried as considering the stress levels, also repititions...

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

    6.4 today, having similar problems as @Bcgirl. Doesn't seem to matter what changes I do to diet or exercise, things just stay the same wrt blood sugar readings. Tried a brisk walk and interval runs after main meal in order to bring down numbers during recent weeks. Got opposite results, higher...

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

    6.5 this morning. A bit disappointed that the predicted rain never happened overnight and my straw patch garden continues to suffer. At least the drought is keeping the weeds at bay.

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

    6.0 this fine and sunny morning. Makes a change to see the sun so early as it has been fairly cloudy all week. Happy holiday.

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

    5.9 on the finger prick. A bit lower on the CGM and no scary spikes yesterday, just slow rises and falls as day progresses. Drops down below 4 overnight and I dearly wished it would stay there but sadly not.

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

    The expected jump out of the 5's today to 6.8 Could not understand why I had a few low readings when life choices not changed, same goes for jump back into 6's. Just one of the unexplainable factors we have to live with. Going back to CGM for a bit more experimentation with different foods, can...

    5.9 today, just hanging on to the 5's but numbers have been rising all week with lack of control by me.

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

    5.8 today. Pleased it is within the 5's but absolutely no idea why. Wished I knew what has bought about the recent lows as I would continue the same routine but nothing has changed for me during past weeks. Just like the unexplained and annoying highs we all experience I am having similar...

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

    Always baffled by results but this time took an unexpected low at 5.6 when testing at 0700. Happy with reading but not a clue as to why.
