[QUOTE="Widgets, post: 2435734, member: 545952"] I've been working hard on my blood glucose numbers over the last few months since the GP told me I'd edged into pre-diabetic territory. This morning I was at 4.7mmol/L, which is lower than I've been seeing so far. As it is going to be stupid hot here today (OK, 26deg C maybe isn't furnace levels, but I'm British damnit, we can be delicate flowers at times!), I wanted to get at least some of my daily walk in before it got too hot. That was a complete failure, it was way too hot for me, I especially hate walking in full sun, I can cope with cloudy and humid hot temperatures a lot better than being in the direct sun. When I got back - I only did a very slow 2 miles - I was feeling very odd so I measured my glucose again. 6.2. I do not believe it was from the handful of blackberries I picked and ate while I was out, so I am thanking my oh so helpful liver for the boost. Normally I fast at least until noon (I do not count the blackberries, food you pick yourself while you're just out and about totally doesn't count!), but I've had an egg and hoping to see the numbers back down again. At least I can tell when my glucose has risen, I can feel that a lot more clearly than when it is low. Repeat a1c on Friday, assuming the vials are available. Really hoping for a 'normal' result from that, though I know I will need to be careful from here on anyway. [/QUOTE]
