It will be your virus. Your body is busy fighting it and needs extra glucose to do this. Your levels will come down again. Take care and keep warm. Drink loads and loads of water. If you already do drink loads, drink even more!

7.1 this morning, not good for me. I am not well me thinks. Last Sunday I took a fall in the carpark of the fish market, did a wonderful rolling walrus impersonation and then face planted causing a bloody lip and wounded prides. Took 3 burley men to get me up (including my husband). Was a bit shakey on the feet after that. Ever since then my bs reading have pretty much stayed in the 6's, with one 2 hour at 8.5 (I did not retest, so could have been a misread). I have developed a coldsore in the nose, no room on my wounded lip for it and I think it is impacting my right eye.

My diet has not changed much, just had some bubbles a few times, but keeping my carbs low. I have now started holidays for a month - got to do a little work, but nothing too big I hope. I need to get my health back on track this month and I am sure when that happens the readings will go back down.

Ouch! Take care and use the holiday to recover.
 
Thinking of all those who are under weather or recovering from mishaps. I've an annoying sore throat which in itself isn't much but it seems to have given me a nasty sore stomach, like when I was a kid. Going to lounge in bed then pop out later on.
5.8 this morning which is ok given I was awake till 1.30 till Mr E came home and then had a very vivid dream, culminating in me dreaming about being at GP's surgery with seven dwarves.
 
5.3 for me - at 4.00am when once again I was suddenly wide awake, once again proves my GP comment yesterday re "too low" doesn't appear credible! Managed to drift off again around 5.30am after putting a favourite gentle song on my earphones. At 7 am when getting up I was 5.4.
Let's for me to try and catch up on here 20th you lovely folk, yesterday was a busy one- but resulted in me being offered the job I was interviewed for!! More on that later ; )

Hello All,

Hope you are all well and fitting fit. :D

I have seen the thread in fasting blood glucose, but was wondering what they are for only Type 2's.

Mine are between 4.5 and 6.0 depending on what I have eaten / drunk the night before.

Cheers

Hi to you, too, and welcome to this thread and the forum. You've got down to 6.0 once, you can do it again.
 
Good Morning all

I was surprised to see 8.1 and checked again straight away and it was 6.6 !

Reasonably happy, although would prefer it lower still :-)
 
A more normalised 3.9 for me this morning. Yesterday's stuffy head seems to have largely gone, and iffy tummy on it's way, I think. Poor old Mr B has had the same symptoms for a few days, so there's obviously something going around, but it's at times like these I thanks goodness for an excellent immune system. I was quite a sickly child, who always had a cold and chesty cough, so my theory is I've had all those viral things and when bumping into a variant these days my body just ramps up and deals with it.

I hope the others battling off the typically pre-festive bugs make an equally rapid turnaround. This isn't a time to be feeling grotty.

Play nicely boys and girls. It's almost the weekend!!
