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

Back from a weekend away, had a great time. 8.6 - not bad for me, considering (more detail on Type 2 life).
 
Afternoon All

Been missing a couple of days too, but with rather less pleasant reasons.

Struggled out of bed on Sunday after an all night nosebleed that I could not stop.

FBG then was 7.9.

Although I was due to take the wife down to Portsmouth to pick our daughter up, a trip to A&E was felt to be more appropriate.

Got it stopped around 11.00, some 18 hrs after it started and the doctor explained he needed to pack it, which would be extremely unpleasant and painful.

Apparently, I did have the alternative of bleeding to death, but I really didn't fancy that one.

He was right about the pain, and he then announced they needed to transfer me to Calderdale and a specialist

By teatime I had learned that the packings would be in place at least 24 hrs and my FBG had risen to 12.9. The NHS staff remarked - that's pretty good for a type 2 and I almost fell off the bed laughing - probably would have done if it didn't hurt so much.

Another dreadful nights sleep but I was a bit better at 7.0 this morning, but this little experience has wreaked havoc with figures
