5.5 this morning. Made the mistake of only having a small meal at lunch time and nothing else....just wasn't hungry.... it was a lesson learned...don't skip meals :)

How true! With my gluttonous habits it's so easy to miss a meal or not eat enough. A sign that I'm very out of touch with my body. ..
 
So busy reading other posts forgot I hadn't posted! A 5.4 for me this morning:)
 
My fasting blood glucose number for this morning is still locked away beneath my fingertip as I didn’t have the mental fortitude to bring it to the surface after a night full of comfort food. I’m sure I’ll go back to the numbers game tomorrow, but in this very moment of tender rebellion, I’m finding relief in the novelty of this hooky.

Can you please remember that the forum rules apply to every thread, including this one. If you have something you need to share, other than your fasting blood sugar and it it would be best suited on another board then please post it there rather than derail this thread.

Thanks Catherine. My first time back after a long break. Thanks for tidying up!
 
No time to post as I was in the usual rush before work lol. Late on parade then...7.3 mmol/l fasting and 5.6 mmol/l pre dinner injection.
 
I've got a cold right now & my blood glucose had been up because of this. Not had much of an appetite, so drinking plenty of sugar free squash & water. Kept all food simple & nutritious the past 24 hours. But, out of the blue, just had a hypo. I've treat it with my current method...Nutella spooned straight from the jar, followed by a banana on a slice of bread. BG back up to 5.2 now thankfully. Still got a hideous headache though, and I'm shattered, but too afraid to sleep right now. BG was elevated yesterday morning, which I put down to my cold. However, overall it was fine all of yesterday, hanging around the low 5's. This disease can still jump up & bite your butt when you least expect it. :mad:

Not good but glad to read that you got on top of it. I keep a small box of mixed nuts in my meds bag that I carry arround for those times when I should eat something and just can't be bothered (or there is nothing available). Hope the headache goes soon, water should help.
