You think that's bad @hankjam my fbg was 8.8 this morning! Can't understand it my reading last night at 10pm after all the festive food was only 5.5 - oh wait a minute, that was before the packet of Cadburys snow bites

Morning FBG 7.0 :confused: I think it was the snack of leftover chicken and lamb before bed that did it :)

Hellooo everyone, apologies for my absence but my geriatric laptop decided to go on strike. I now have a shiny new tablet so I'm back online yay! I had a very merry Christmas, I got my HbA1C results on Wednesday and I've gone down from 53 to 49 :) I've also lost nearly half a stone and my cholesterol is normal. Here's my breakdown:

Total cholesterol 5.1
HDL cholesterol 1.3
Triglycerides 1.0
Cholesterol/HDL ratio 3.9
Calculated LDL cholesterol 3.4

Good steady work, that's the way to do it.

4.8 this morning. Was a massive 12.4 last night after been naughty and having a piece of Christmas cake while visiting family. What the flip my step mother had put in it I don't know, it was really nice

@loulou99782 must be something in the London air! :) I had a 12.6 when I tested before my evening meal, But I had had nothing but a cup of tea and a salmon and cream cheese roll since breakfast.

Well I'm getting back on the right track, after a minor blip on Christmas Day I woke up to 8.0 on Boxing Day. Yesterday's reading was 7.7 and this morning I was back to 7.6. My average morning reading is 7.2 so I'm nearly there

Friends!!!! Sorry I've not been around so much recently, health issues aside I also suffered the demise of my laptop and have been making do with a very old one which wasn't very user-friendly. We braved the sales yesterday and I have a new Lenovo Yoga 500 :D

I hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas, and that BGs have been sensible for the most part. I'm off for blood test this morning to check HbA1c after stopping the metformin in October, I'm expecting a good result based on my FBG being steady around 4.8 of late ;)

Welcome back, I had the same problem but got a kindle fire instead :) Good luck for your blood test tomorrow, I got my results the day before Christmas Eve and it was good news - went down from 53 to 49 yay!
