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

Wish you a lovely holiday
 
I will never understand this diabetes stuff! Pizza, glass of red wine and a small dessert last night and I wake to 4.8!!! Lowest I’ve ever been! Can only think I’ll get hit hard tomorrow morning. Delayed reaction maybe?? Been desperate to get to the 4s. If pizza and wine is the answer then happy days!!!!! Will make millions selling this diet
 
Hello all. 8.5 today. Really getting worried about it now. Goes up to +10 during the day sometimes.

Thank you @heavyd it has to be better than in UK at the moment,hope your keeping well, will be back on before my op. we will catch up then and hopefully my BG will stay ok whilst we are away! ? K
 
Hi Kentoldlady1 with your stress levels and probably not a lot of sleep could be the answer to your raised BG levels,wish you lots of Best Wishes to you and your family! K
 
Hello all. A bit late posting today. Stayed up until early morning and slept in.

Fasting blood sugars at 1 p.m. were 5.4

@Granny_grump_ -- Wonderful test results. Congrats on your hard work. It is also great to see your fbgs dropping. Hope you have a fun and relaxing time in Spain.

@Kentoldlady1 -- So sorry to read about your rising blood sugar levels. I really empathize with you.

@Cumberland and @philchap1 -- Please take care, these readings are bit low.
 
Hi everybody...............5.6 today,late posting,HGV have increased their activity to long drawn out horn sounding!Last night 2am then 4.15am.Just very tired from lack of sleep.
Have a great holiday,@Granny_grump_
@Kentoldlady1 hope things settle for you soon,you have had so much stress.My son has just been made redundant by a firm in Kent,and it's very stressful.
@Freema,enjoy your knitting,I'm making a scarf or cowl for each grand child,I hope I finish them all before the winter ends!It keeps me out of mischief!
 

What fast acting insulin are on? as if I'm hungry or fancy a mars bar I'll give myself some fast acting and make sure I do BG before bed if it's hi I'll do some more fast acting, generally my BG in the morning is what I want, not always though.
 

I have been ok since hypo
Thanks @ziggy_w

Awoke at 4am with hypo of 2.7 so treated and after 20 minutes gradually stepped up to 3.1, 3.8, 4.6 so went back to bed and at 9.30am was 5.8

I’m okay now

Have a good day peeps

KOT this diabetes lark seems to go in spirals...stress...lack of sleep...anxiety...agree with @Granny_grump_ likely the lack of sleep & stress is responsible...there's little we can do about that...hope you get some respite soon.
