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

7.4 for me this morning, the numbers are up and down just like my mood, ahem, seeing the consultant later so I'll see if I can leave him as confuddled as I am but I'll be sitting pretty now because my stool has err tightened? without a screw driver of course, not into any of those shenanigans.
 
Agree, including static cycling
 
Yes you are right, it seems the smallest change has an impact on BG which almost overrides the cause and becomes the focus, we are desperate to get back to the numbers we are comfortable with. Blissful ignorance before diagnoses is greatly missed when we are under the weather.

@GeoffersTaylor and @Mbaker I will 3rd that - I would put the major part of what I have done over the last 3 years down to static cycling. A new cycleway has been opened up linking several villages locally with the nearest market town so I may try the outdoor version this autumn.
@jayney27 I would also add all the data from fitbit, doctor's data on bloods that I never had before. I think you have said before that dx can be seen as a blessing in disguise as it gives a warning not a major health scare.

Hi Janet how is your husband, is he making a good recovery? X

Seen the local GP who is referring him for an angiogram, exercise tolerance test to find out if he really has had an MI. Improving slowly but still very tired. Took him off one of his tablets because it was making him wheezy as he has had asthma since he was a small boy. Hopefully that will make a difference. Thank you very much for asking after him.
 

What’s happening to you that you’re needing a stick ?
 
Thank you for taking the time to reply, I hope he continues to make a full recovery and that you can both enjoy the rest of the summer. Take care of yourself too, best wishes x
