Don't get disheartened hun. It's gonna happen, no matter how tight you try & control your BG. Even Diabetics who've had the disease for a long time will tell you they have days when their BG just won't do what they want it to do. Nature of the beast. Chin up. X
Just read your post, thank you for your encouragement - and the kiss! My BG settled to 5.3 after a nice walk in the sunshine.

FBG 6.3 not bad considering I got no sleep last night.

Sorry to hear you're having a bit of a rough time @4ratbags. A couple of your recent posts have mentioned your life can be stressful. :( It certainly does crazy things to my BG. Yours too by the sound of it. Wishing you all the very best hun. X

Good morning folks. Fasting blood glucose is 4.6 today. Coming down with a summer cold though. Got the Olbas Oil & Vicks out. That should help. Have a lovely Tuesday everyone. X

No such thing as a silly question. The numbers are the blood glucose readings taken very first thing in the morning. Before anything to eat or moving around.

Thank you Eddie. I'm pleased to say that, so far, my cold isn't affecting my BG levels. Well, not this mornings one anyway, which was 4.6 fasting. Got a humongous appetite though. Could eat a scabby horse between 2 slices of bread. Glad your infection is clearing up & your numbers are coming down. This Diabetes business ain't half a pain in the butt sometimes! Have a good one hun. X

Thank you too Loulou. X
