    What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

    Morning all. Off to the health centre for annual diabetic screening. FBG 6.3 mmol at 0615. Hoping for some good stats at the feedback session. This used to be face-to-face with a real doctor, now it is a phone call. Have a good day.

    Morning all. Diabetic screening tomorrow, so pleased to have FBG at 6.5 mmol at 0700 today. I've had a long run at this, since Jan. 1st, so hope my HbA1C will be down. Still plenty of scope to reduce weight and exercise more. Rome wasn't built in a day. Have a good day everyone. Oh yes, just...

    Morning all Rise and Shine. It is going to be a beautiful day. Well, it will be if my optician this morning can sort out a current eye ailment, like hay fever only there isn't any pollen. New allergy? FBG 6.3 mmol at 0630hrs. Had 20g of 70% dark chocolate lunchtime. Seems one can have treats if...

    Hi there Folks Noah here. Guess my marine weather forecast software can go back into its box. Two local weather stations are reporting 29 mm of rain overnight already, which is a lot. Things seem to be floating after all. All praise to the yellow warning. FBG 6.5 mmol/lt at 0630hrs. Have a...

    Hi Folks Is it just me, or is anyone else getting fed up with constant yellow weather warnings? Of course we all would like sunny weather but I'm talking about the Nanny state. My marine weather forecast predicts 14mm of rain overnight, half an inch in old money. OK, it's going to rain. But do I...

    Thanks John My nephew and his mother in Canada are always talking about A1C one-off daily test levels, quoting 8 or 9. I suppose they must mean mmol/lt levels? It is somewhat alarming, as they can't be looking at a medical reference chart to interpret the data (one presumes?)

    Hi there @Krystyna23040 Is that 5.4 MMOL or A1C? My nephew has Type 1 and in Canada they use A1C% units, meaning that 7.0 here is fine, but there in A1C it's bad news. Not a criticism of you. It is a general problem on this site, the absence of units.

    Hi there Folks. A bit more fresh this morning, pre-dawn breaking. Great news overnight about the Orange Dotard. Sorry for oppressed people in the other news. FBG 8.0 mmol at 0645. Had a big carbs supper, and 40g of dark chocolate, so at least I know the current limits. That is the whole point...

    Hi Folks Good to read your latest news. Just done my first task of the new growing season which is to make my seed germination mix. I have used a coir/vermiculite/worm castings mix recommended by Kim from California. Only made 2.5lt as it's a seed mix, not a potting mix. March 1st for sowing...

    Maybe HCP is a reference to the occupant of 10 Downing Street as a High Chance Philanderer.

    Hello @alf_Josiah The science of type 2 diabetes seems to be unclear, which is surprising given the huge cost to the NHS that is reported. I'm fortunate in attending a large GP practice which claims diabetes as one of its specialisms. But even here strange outcomes occur. For example the No. 2...

    Hello @Krystyna23040 This website advises that regular repeated BG readings of below 7.0 mmo/lt would likely indicate an HbA1c value of below 42 mmo/mol. At this controlled level of BG there is much reduced risk of diabetes being a cause or contributing factor to major illness, advises this...

    Morning all. After modest exercise I hit the carbs with ciabatta lunchtime and basmati with my supper. The revenge of the T2 gave me 8.1 mmo/lt at 0630. Ai least I know where the current limits are. Will be a good boy today. Have a great day.
