What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

5.1 this morning - feeling lazy relaxing in the conservatory drinking Redbush tea. Will have one more cup of coffee before taking doggies for a walk.

Very busy day at work yesterday but made sure I had proper breaks. It does make a difference as I felt a lot more relaxed and slept like a log last night.
 

Thanks for the like guys.... I have been so short of time this week.
My numbers on the tiny screen that make a huge difference were/are as follows
These are all my morning levels upon waking
02/06 6.1
03/06 7.0
04/06 4.7

Todays installment is... wait for it, wait for it! 6.4
poyo

If you wish to see what has changed this month in my progess please read my signature to see why perhaps my BG numbers are waivering a tad.

Thank you to everybody here who is giving me so much support, incentive and inspiration to 'fight the good fight'

It’s bin day today; the turn of the recycling bin and the garden bin. Not a lot in them this week, two bags and a few papers for recycling and nothing in the garden bin. They could wait until their next two week cycle but I need to maximise the usage of my contributions to local taxes so out the recycling bin goes.

A better night last night and the wonder wheel of rest and recuperation issued a sprightly 5.0 at 0615.

I finished my holiday book yesterday. Only three days late but hey, medals and champagne all round. My new book was waiting patiently on the bureau, same author and this one is called Skin In The Game. I suppose that the point of the book is that in the real world it is hard to disentangle ethos on one hand from knowledge and competence on the other: “in academia there is no difference between academia and the real world; in the real world, there is”.

Meeting of the medical practice patients group this afternoon - what fun.

Have a wonderful day if you can.
 
I would love a 1st edition copy... with a 'John Handcock' it goes without saying

Morening, I like your monika either it's where you live or a liking for those full of bread sausages or perhaps both.
Your blood sugars vary so much wonder how high they must be for you not to post them. Take care.
 
Well done on the hba1c reduction.
 
Brilliant and sooooo true
 
Morning All. 6.5 this morning although my BP was well in normal range after a week of scary readings which took me to the surgery yesterday. Didnt get very far but got a text from the Dr suggesting I monitor and write down a week’s numbers and come and see her if I want to. Well I have been banging on about taking responsibility for my own health!
@Cumberland @karen8967 hugs to each for bad numbers. Take care. X
@gennepher hope all goes well at the hospital.@Krystyna23040 glad you were fine after your injection. I think the first 24 hours is important.
Best wishes to anyone I have missed. Have a good Wednesday. Stay well, stay safe.
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who celebrate national bin day. Hehehe

Today a gentle 6.2 from the meter this morning, no shenanigans this time the reading just looked around, loudly passed wind and vanished in a cloud of obnoxious smelling gas.

Today folks my day is planned, orders have been issued, filthy looks given. Yes Mrs J is on my tail.
Have a good day all, must go more orders being issued and I must appear to pay attention.
 

My last HBa1c was 6.6 too. It was up from 6.1 in November but down from 9.1 lol 18 months ago. I was disappointed my gp and dn enthused
