Morning All

Up a little earlier today - early start - and slightly scary 6.2....

 

[WeeFergus]

Good morning all. I had a fasting reading of 5.6 this morning after a reading of 5.4 at bedtime last night.

I think @WeeFergus has been peeking at my meter, as I was 5.4 last night and 5.6 this morning as well.

Morning all
After a heping hand from my liver, fbg was 8.2
2 hours after breakfast back to normal of 5.1
So frustrating .......

5.3 @ 07:00hrs fasting

 

[JenniferW]

7.4 ... more of the much of a muchness, 6 days in a row it's been 7-point-something. Will it ever go lower, I'm asking myself?

 

[TyTy]

6.3 this morning

 

[Daphne917]

4.7 yesterday and 4.9 this morning - not too shabby considering I went to bed at 6.4 three hours after eating a Chinese!

 

[Daphne917]

I think it certainly does.

The FBG thread is great, but sometimes I think it gets to be a competition and people feel they are failures just because their first test of the day is higher than some others.

I think you're right there - when I first started testing my FBG was often mid to high 5s and I was getting concerned because everyone else's seemed to be lower. I mentioned it to my DN and, after the inevitable "why are you testing?" question she said thatmy numbers were in the non-diabetic range so not to worry and that they would probably come down further - which they have!

Mine are still in the 6s, but I'm hopeful that they will come down as I lose more weight, especially from the liver and pancreas. 6.7 today.

7.3 at six thirty and still 7.3. Hmmm

6.8 by 11 and just eaten. I guess it is levelling out - but look where it's levelling!!!

Glad it's Friday. I'm soooo tired this week for some unknown reason. Anyway, BG this morning was 4.5 fasting, after a 5.2 at bedtime. Woke up with a banging headache though, & it's lingered all day so far.
