Mine was 5.8 this afternoon, as i'm on nights, but on the plus side, had my check up last week, I started at 8.5 averaged over 3 months when I was diagnosed last year, now got it down to 6.5, also nearly lost two stone, so I'm pleased, but asked if I can change to slow release metformin instead of normal metformin.

Superb @scouse13. Much better feeling than a close hyper after treating a hyper. Isn't it?

Hi there everybody
Resisted testing blood through the night (saving test strips).
fbg = 6.0 @ 0615
looking quite reasonable, as I reduce meds slightly last night!
Do have a good day everybody.

8.8

Lunch levels were fine, so I risked a creme egg. I felt dreadful until I'd drunk lots of water and been for a 5 mile walk! Safe to say I won't be doing that again. Sighs deeply - it's definitely the end of a long term, stable relationship, but one that is not good for me.
