T2s: What was your fasting BG this morning, and what did you eat yesterday?

Wednesday June 19
FBG at 0640 was 5.3 (6 hours fast), food yesterday was;

Breakfast: blueberries and honey nut cheerios w/2% milk, 250 mg metformin, black tea
Lunch: 1 chunk of brie cheese, 5 scoops (corn flour type) of salsa, black tea
Dinner: Boston Pizza individual thin crust "Royale" pizza, pint of Rickards Red, 250 mg metformin
Snack: 2 shots of tequila w/tap water, handful of blueberries.

Temp here at 0640 +8C and raining cats and dogs, looks like an all day event. May have to postpone engine testing until tomorrow, will do more research on engine pre-oiler technology and keep warm. Got the new hydraulic tensioners yesterday, they surprisingly (to me) were made in Italy...
