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

[Keesha]

Hi everyone.
Yesterday 6.2, today up to 7.2 . Can’t explain why. In addition meds have upset my tummy - so glad I have a Sudoku magazine in the loo to help pass the time.

Ally Pally, are you on metformin and giving you tummy upset? It happened to me for a month, but I am now okay.

Good morning 6.1. Gout a touch better but still can't wear any shoes

mo53, have you been to the doctors and prescribed some painkillers for the pain. Hugs to you.

6.2 this morning. Bloods were all good. Hba1c was 37 but have moderate arthritic changes in my knee. Referred to a knee clinic so will see what tips they can give me.

JanetMcDowell, I heard doctors can prescribe some cream for the arthritis. Apply three times per day. Good news on your hb1ac, very well done.

Good Morning! 7.0 at 0410.

the hug was for the silly o’clock hour of your test this morning.

@Keesha thanks for the hug. I have antinflamatories and I’m drinking lemon juice.

5.8 at 4:50 am.

Had my eyes tested / checked at the optometrists yesterday arvo, and no problems found. I do not need new glasses either as my eyes have not changed this past year.

All the details passed on to my GP and Ophthalmologist so that should keep them happy.

Never mind the GP and Ophthalmologist. It should keep you happy. It is always good to know something as important as eyesight is ok.

I am happy I just saved $500.00 on not buying new specs, into the beer money that went.

I never drink to get wasted Ian.

I seem to be going backwards: 5.5 this am @ 08.30: didn't like it so took another after lunch: 4.7. I prefer that number! ;-)}

I usually go with my Circadian clock and wake as it gets light. But at this time of year (longest day tomorrow) it means I need couple of hours siesta mid-afternoon, and go to bed around 10pm.

That makes sense. I live out in the sticks, no outside light until the day breaks but am often woken by the very noisy crows. Would love to take a siesta but I would get sacked hehe.
Just noticed the time, you will be ready for bed about now then?

@Contralto I've been using Google to find out. I had a blood test after a flare up on a joint in my hand and it confirmed gout. This is just the same but in my foot.

Bs this morning 5.1

 

[Goonergal]

Good Morning! 7.2 at 0420. I only had two chicken drumsticks, and a whole tub of OPPO ice cream last night.
The tub of OPPO was too much I think!

5.3 today - I like experimenting straight after tests but then feel remorse at seeing the numbers
