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

6.5 after huge Xmas dinner (we had ours a day late)

Happy to report a 5.2 this morning in spite of so much food and wine. Even had a piece of brandy soaked Christmas cake and shortbread. Does anyone know why today is called Boxing Day?

I believe it's to do with the tradition of giving Christmas "boxes" (i.e. money) to tradespersons to thank them for good products and services throughout the year.

5.1 today

And the Christmas high is 8.8 pretty much expected, but boy did I enjoy all those treats - but now strictly back on LCHF, aiming for the 5s by the time I return to work on the 3rd

5.5 very pleased with that as I was spiking yesterday and thought it would be a lot higher.

Skipping all the tempting food and walking 20km yesterday rewarded me with a 3.5 this morning

No traditional Boxing Day walk for me yesterday, it was too windy and sleety.
I went out to put stuff in the bin and had to lean all my (still considerable) weight against the door to get it shut again
so we stayed in with the log burner going

4.7 this morning

A better 5.8 good morning all

So if I drink more alcohol I'll decrease my insulin sensitivity?

I should think it depends on how much you drink they are talking of heavy drinking at that point moderate drinking can improve insulin sensitivity it would seem.

My FBG this morning 5.3 maybe I should have had a few alcoholic drinks along with all those carbs yesterday.

A gob smacking fbg 5.4
You know my sugars are always better when I'm relaxing. I had a very relaxing day yesterday. If only life could be like that everyday. Reminds me of that song "I wish it could be Christmas everyday"

 

[walnut_face]

Wow @ally1 that's fantastic you seem to have trended down over the period, unlike most others
Anyway a 6.0 for me this morning. Pleased to see it come down
