Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

4.1 for me this morning. I'm happy with that. Curiously, reading Silver Hammer's post, regarding strip variation, it made me realise that the couple of weeks of very low readings I had recently; I had a 7 day average at under 4 at one point, were probably due to a pot reading lower than my usual expectations. I felt absolutely fine with the lower numbers, but mentally I was beginning to wonder what was going on. I think I have my answer. I like answers.

Well, as the weather had turned more autumnal, I have committed to get my old life better, winter clothes ready to go onto eBay this weekend. I have my tailor's dummy (Gladys) out and ready for the photographs. I'll have to adjust Gladys' dials to make her slightly more bulky to model my old clothes. I shrunk her to reflect the new me when I brought her out recently. I can't actually believe, looking at her, how small my waist has become. I've never had a neat waist!! What I see when I look in the mirror and what Gladys tells me I must look like aren't quite in full alignment at the moment. It'll come, I'm sure, but it's been an interesting exercise. I now have much more sympathy for anyone seriously suffering from body dysmorphia. I'm positive I don't have it, but it is an odd feeling not to quite recognise oneself. (I doubt I'm completely alone in that situation.)

Have a good day everyone. It's the weeeeeeeeeeeeeeekend!! :):):):)
 
5.6 this morning.... Would be nice to be a tad lower, but not going to complain as its a far cry from the 13.8 that alarmed my Dr back in early June. Speaking of which, have to let her know at my November appointment that I dropped meds in early September.

Edit: 5.2 after dinner. :-)

Lowest reading ever for fasting this morning 6.2. My readings have been steadily coming down since I was diagnosed a month ago. I am LCHF and have lost 22kg.....am very fat. My daytime and pre dinner readings are in the 5's and maximum 2hrs post this week was 5.6. I am happy and starting to feel fantastic.

Spent the day on the top of Troodos mountains yesterday and had a great time walking round the forest and enjoying the views from an altitude of 1.550 meters

Have a great Sunday everyone
