What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

@Kentoldlady1 So very glad your grandson is seeing better must be such a worry for all of you, and same scenario for my hubby 4/5 years back, he had worked for same company 24 years then it went out of business workforce got nothing. The stress it caused us is still with me today,but he signed up with Manpower agency and was offered work straight away, he was given a couple of different employers then the one he works for now kept him on for three years on agency then offered him permanent work,he was 59 years of age then, so it is possible Wishing you good luck for your husbands job prospects and a good outcome for your grandson. Best Wishes ! K

Gabrielle...our BGs rise as soon as we start to move about...I try to take mine as soon as I'm up...some take theirs as soon as they wake...before getting out of bed...I haven't managed that yet...my first objective in the morning is to get downstairs...kettle on...brew my coffee...that comes before everything...even testing my BG.
 
@karen8967 @Bubbsie Do you remember Karen's posting of a woman worse for wear recently, could be a solution to the cold remedies, at least she would feel better! K Haha!

A very reasonable 5.1 at 6.45 a.m.

My new humalog pen should be here soon; I had to buy my own because my diabetic nurse won't prescribe a half dose humalog pen for me as they're only for children. I'm funding my own (again!) as I value the control that half-units give me. Oddly, I got a Novopen Echo on prescription for basal and that does half units. Very strange.

Is there an actual time frame for new pen syringes? My old humalog pen has been in use for about 6 years now and I suppose that's why it's falling apart. I'm gonna miss it; old friend used several times a day for many years!

Also the shop here asked me if I have a VAT certificate. I don't know what that is. Any ideas?
 
5.8 at 8:30 After a very sinful yesterday but did burn 2000 calories at fitness and ate 3000 calories of which 350’grams were carbs (was 7.4 right before sleep) so I feared a very high number this morning ..but fitness seems to pay off
 
After almost 2 weeks, what turned out to be Tonsillitis is finally subsiding. All 6 of us at home have been down with it, has been horrendous. mostly been surviving on Milk, and eggs as anything else to difficult to swallow.

5.2@0730

Have kept good control for the whole time, thankfully.
