Fasting Blood Sugar this morning + yesterday's food AND physical activity

Hope you’re fully recovered from that bug now
Having dinner at 6pm then walking or running a mile at 7pm & then only drinking water seems to be having a positive effect on b/s, might have to carry on after the challenge has ended, just have to see if I’ve got any energy this morning to lift any weights
Sons at Wimbledon again today (to see Rafa) so I’m taking the day off, going to spend the day in the garden
Enjoy your day

Great workout, wood chops really work the core
Alc came back at a very disappointing 52, really don’t understand As last time libra was predicting 45 & it was 51, this time it was predicting 42 & it was 52, doesn’t make much sense
Review on Monday going to ask for a another test in 3 months & keep running or walking a mile each evening after dinner

It can take a bit of time for enough of the older red blood cells to removed from the blood to see the true impact of your changes on the A1C. And there are some people that keep their blood cells significantly longer than the average of 120 days. This can make A1C look a bit misleading as the cells hang around a long time and so continue to get glycated. This isn't an issue for the rest of your body health-wise. If the A!C next test is high and out of line with your libre measures have a word with your consultant. Your levels are looking so good now and so consistent. Just keep doing what you're doing! Have a great weekend!

Great FBG, good exercise routine
Had an easy day at the gym yesterday as planning on a 30 mile cycle ride this morning, not sure I’ll manage it, but going to give it a go, trainer suggested a 15 mile route so can come home & eat a snack then do it again if I feel up to it, husband’s at home so if I get stuck he can come & pick me up
Enjoy your weekend

How you enjoyed the minions movie & took your rest day
The bike ride wasn’t as hard as I was expecting, wanted to do 30 miles to get my name on the board at the gym, I’m the quickest female to ride 30 miles, ok the only one stupid enough to do it,
Walking the dog in the woods this morning then the boys are cooking breakfast on the barbecue & having another day gardening
Enjoy your day with your daughter
