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

3.4 @ 07.12 (seems like the combination of walking and push-ups confuses the body - 3.5 miles with 200 push-ups (4 x 25, plus 5 x 20))

Is that a daily routine? You must be insanely fit if that is a morning work out. Just amazing the dedication people on here show. All day long I will feel totally shamed now!
 

Who said anything about comfort eating?

Edited to say that at least with Montezuma's 100% Absolute Black, there are only 8g carbs in the bar, so eating three quarters of it doesn't do too much damage!

Meant humorously and her fbgs are usually brilliant as is her hard work and discipline. Personally, I can see us losing I don't think Potch is completely the real deal.

Getting your defence in first! I'm not too optimistic, it has to be said.

It's this one - larger bar. It's slightly cheaper in Sainsburys

Glad to see we remain virtual friends. Nearest Sainsbury's to me is Huntingdon and if the world had piles Huntingdon could very well be it.
Edit: Waitrose have the orange and geranium one which sounds very tempting. Can't find any nutritional analysis though. The trouble is what is on Waitrose website is not always in my local store. A 45/50 mile round trip to the very upmarket Cambridge branch just for a bar of chocolate seems excessive!

today at 8:30 6.3 mmol a bit higher than usual, and the only reason is to much calories yesterday.. around 3000 and that is far too many calories for me. today have been off for fitness burning the obligatory 2000 calories which give me space for eating more of what I love... hope tomorrows number will be much lower

5.1 at 4:50 am.

Echo cardiogram results were great, he has put me on a new medication Tambocor 50mg twice a day, and decreased my Digoxin to three a day. He gave me new Oximeter to test my spo2 and heart rate with for free as my old one is playing up.

The cardiologist is a great person to talk to, makes you feel welcome from the start, but I'm still no nearer finding out why I cannot lay on my back for any length of time without going into AFib though.
