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

FBG 5

breakfast eggs
Lunch salad didn’t eat the rice with it as I got this later on
Dinner chicken and veg

1,000 calories
No idea on
Carbs, protein or fats

Still in hospital waiting on my scan and being fasted too the joys not

Fbg 4.2 this morning.

Yesterday's meals.
Breakfast small poached egg on a slice of toast (low carb bread)

Lunch small bowl of Jamacan Jerk chicken soup

Dinner Italian style baked meatballs with small portion of noodles ( noodles were BareNaked noodles supposedly 1gm of carbs per 100 grams according to the packaging.)

And that was it for yesterday.

FBG 5.7 surprised at that

breakfast nowt fasted but got no scan
Lunch cold meats and some strawberries
Dinner another salad and I didn’t eat the rice and I did ask them not to give me it but they ignored me

600 calories roughly nowhere near enough but I didnt take my dapagliflozin as I hypod the day before not once but twice and what conflicting advice I was given and I took my own thankfully.
I kept an eye my sugars throughout the day as well and all stayed in the high 4’s to low 5’s

doing the same today as being fasted again the joys not, but needs must.

Great news, just relax and enjoy whatever food you can have. Don't even think about BG levels for a week or so.
