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

Dave Brierley said:

It is quite early days so I'm making dietary mistakes left right and centre, The 11.3 was the result of a baked potato and cheesy beans.
Of the 3 days I've been recording the figures they have been 10.0, 7.9 and 8.0.

Merry Christmas! 7.3 this morning, mind you got up at 10.30am....well it is boxing day here. Yesterday I was really good until we got to plum pudding time and I had a small piece with cream and custard. Needless to say my bs went up.

We had a nice, but stressful holiday, on the 3rd day Ross woke with chest pains, I called an ambulance and we all went to Nambour hospital. After a couple of hours they said they did not think it was a heart attack thank god! However, they were going to keep him for 2 more hours to do another round of tests to be sure. My daughter and I went back to the hotel to get the car and so she could stay there and swim. As I am looking for a park back at the hospital the doctor calls, this have changed he tells me. Apparently Ross is having an ongoing heart attack in his lower heart and they are taking him up to have a stent put in. Ok, I am shocked, but calm, I always am when there are problems. I get up to the procedure area and wait. The cardiologist comes out and tells me they have done an angyagram and it is not a heart attack, but swelling and a virus in the pericardium muscle around the heart.......they call it pericarditis. I am very grateful. They kept him in until the late afternoon of the next day. It was wonderful relief to know he was okay.

Needless to say my blood sugars have not been great, on the first day he was in hospital I soon discovered that it is almost impossible to buy a carb free offering anywhere at 7am in the morning, that the best thing in vending machines is water and cashew nuts and that hospitals are meant to test your walking skills.

Greatest blessing in life is spending Christmas with your family and friends!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!
