I did, I think it was the heat that pushed up my blood pressure. It was something like 185/85 when I tested it at home. I felt really nauseous and dizzy and it lasted all afternoon & evening.Take care as @chris lowe had a funny turn after using the sauna
Had to get Mr Chris to come and pick me up from the gym. I've finally got it into his head that I am not going in again.

To be honest 5 tests and 5 different scores is quite common. If the 7.8 was a true out-lier, and a bunch of the others were more bunched, I might be inclined to average them out.

Really feeling feed up and low this morning. I am in horrible pain and my fasting bg was 6.9.
Ever since I gave birth my back has been ruined with excruciating pain when I get up and move. Getting out of bed sometimes has me in tears. Little one woke twice last night so my back is really painful this am.
Doctors don't take me seriously and three months with an osteopath and 18lbs lighter and still feel useless waist down
why ain't nothing help me

Mrsmac - The pain may be pushing up your blood numbers. It's a variation on a liver dump, where your body is throwing out sugar reserves to help you cope with whatever crisis you are in. I had something a bit like this a couple of weeks ago when I lost my voice and had a horrid throat and chest thing going on. So, maybe cut yourself a bit of slack on the fasting number?
Irrespective of whether the osteopath helps you in the longer term or not, there is no doubt that your trimming up will definitely help your whole skeletal system. The less excess our bones and joints have to carry around every day, the better, so please do keep the faith.
This isn't an easy journey, as you are finding, but some days it's just a case of finding a way to grind through it to get to the next one. Stick with it. It'll be worth it.

Excuse my asking but did you by chance have an epidural? The reason I ask is, my daughter had one for a twin delivery and has suffered with her back now for 28 years....the age of my grandchildren. Some days it's pure torture and she suffers if she stands in one place for too long, as when ironingReally feeling feed up and low this morning. I am in horrible pain and my fasting bg was 6.9.

I was going to ask the same question! I had an epidural when having my son and my back ached for months after. I used to put the baby on the changing mat on the floor and kneel down with my head on the floor, in tears.
The pain eased up after a few months but I've had lower back pain on and off ever since. I just put it down to the birth but when I had my daughter, things went too quickly for me to have an epidural and my back was fine afterwards. Now I reckon it must've been the epidural that caused the back pain.

You are very correct, my daughter was was just over 10lbs and got stuck on the way down. I was twisted in all sorts of positions and has two epidurals. I haven't really posted much about pains but it effects me every day.
It got worst so I went to the Chinese doctors today for acupuncture

I hope the acupuncture works. It helped my husband about 20 years ago, after physiotherapy failed to help.

Yes it was good @Robinredbreast thank you. I had about 8 needles, an electronic pulse and heat. I am still in a lot of pain generally the nerve that runs from my back straight down through my left foot.
The Dr said I should try and come twice a week but that will not happen due to funds. I will definitely try and go again soon though. I also have been reluctant to take the anti inflammatory that the gp gave me about a year ago because I want to great the root of the pain and not the symptoms
