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

Morning all. Up to 8.8 at 7.20 today. Will have to take a firm grip on what I eat today! Bright with yesterday's snow still lying everywhere. Stay safe and warm one and all.
 
Hi all, 6.1 again at 7.30 today - woken up by the sound of the bin men and realising I'd forgotten to put the bin out - sped outside in my dressing gown to get it to them just in time - whether that affected my reading afterwards in any way I don't know!
 

My diabetic nurse told me I could eat anything yummy like cakes and pastries, but only take one tiny bite. I told her that one bite is not enough so it is best not to eat at all, so now I refrain my any that is bad for my blood sugar.

Out of interest, do you drive? I sometime worry a little if I go below 5, because it means I can't go somewhere (such as the office) on the spur (at least I was told that's the floor for driving in the UK).

That said, I do prefer to keep as good control as I can (below 6). Since being diagnosed in November, I've got my HbA1C from 152 down to 40.
 
5.7 this morning.

And I finally found out what's making youngest dog itch frantically at intervals. We'd got rid of the problem completely and then yesterday off the dogs went to the groomer. She does the biz and since then youngest dog has been scrabbling desperately at herself. I found out because she sleeps tucked in behind my knees, so if she spends the night awake and scratching I know all about it... Shame that Tuesdays is always my longest working (and most complex) day of the week and that I feel like my brains got emptied out and replaced with cotton wool overnight. The pretty pink fluffy sort that's useless as cotton wool but looks OK.

But husband is going to bathe the dog today with her special soothey shampoo so fingers crossed, tonight will be a good night's sleep.
