Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

@Swiggy if you are T2 you should get a HbA1c test at least every 12 months (NHS guidelines).
Oh I didn't know that. I changed my GP because he failed to tell me the results of my blood test for over eighteen months and it went from 80 to 143 during that time. I stuck to Newcastle diet for eight weeks and my new GP sent me for hba1c test when I registered. He thought I was confused when I said that it had been 143 but my records would have been in transit and told me to just carry on with what I had been doing. My cholesterol was 4.1 but he didn't give me any more details and I never heard anything else apart from an appointment for eye screening last March, an appointment for 24hr blood pressure monitoring and now this appointment for another eye screening.
I will contact the surgery and ask for the test to be booked.
 
Thanks @Prem61. I will definitely book it and post the results.
 
8.1 @ 05.30

Probably last early testing as husband has been sleeping in spare room as he's had a bad flu/cold/cough virus that has been going around. But we have our 3 grandsons staying tonight, plus he's much better, so moving back. He wouldn't appreciate the early wake up with the light on!

Starting 5:2 fasting today. Bought The Fast Diet book from Dr Michael Mosley forgot I had it!
 
6.7 a week of work stress and no exercise has caught up with me. Higher numbers sure slap you round the face - need to get back on track and get those speedos on today

Thankfully eaten all my Pana Chocolate supply, that probably didn't help either

Happy Saturday friends
 
Fbg of 6.7 and no meds is still a massive achievement but i love you in your 5s. I know it makes you happier too. 5s are superb but 6s are good too. No 7s mind or i will end up inviting you swimming in the north sea. You'll soon go to your pool then!
 

Maybe you can have a North sea swim for your birthday Have a great day - nice FBG to start your special day!
