    5.6. Higher than of late :( Stress? New strips? Start of an illness? :nailbiting:. I feel fine though.

    Covid 19 - are we in high risk?

    Indeed. I'm also concerned about the current hoarding mentality of fellow shoppers. As diabetics (particularly T2), our food choices are somewhat limited so to find so many regular purchases missing from the shelves is a big concern.

    Non-diabetic fasting level?

    Thanks for your thoughts folks. Not too far out with my 4.5 then :D. I wish I was self-monitoring in my non-diabetic days so I could compare. Of course, I'd then have been aware of rising blood glucose and could have taken steps to avoid where I am now :banghead:. Hindsight's a wonderful thing.

    My pre-evening meal number is generally in the mid 5s. I only fast overnight, have a relatively carb-heavy brekkie (abt. 30g carbs), a carb-light lunch (abt, 10g carbs), then I allow myself up to 40g carbs for my evening meal. I might have a square or two of 90% cacao chocolate as a treat in...
