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

Well done! K
 
Hi mines 15.7 this morning. What do I do? Was supposed to see endocrinologist on Wednesday to discuss possibility of starting insulin. It was cancelled because I couldn’t get there because of the snow. It’s been re-arranged in 2 weeks. Is that too long to wait, should I speak to GP?
Feel ok but really thirsty.
 
Yeh! Granny_grump. What a relief. So pleased for you. Just trying to keep calm in readiness for my MRI later today. Enjoy your weekend and go and celebrate

dogslife good luck with your MRI scan wishing you well! K
 
Morning all. 7.7 at 9am this morning. Awake very early in pain then fell back to sleep after taking pain killers so -later testing than usual. Trying to keep calm about my MRI scan later today. Enjoy your weekend folks.
 
There's no harm in speaking to your GP, voicing your concerns - mention your extreme thirst and your readings and that you're worried 2 weeks is too long a wait.
 

Hi @Granny_grump_,

So happy about your news. It must be a burden off your shoulders. Glad to hear you celebrated last night -- you deserve it.
 
Well done! K
Thanks, I took on your suffix of "grump" as the snow floored me yesterday, so I did some weights instead at a low level. I am happy with the number as I forgot to add the bowl of berries and should I admit this....I went back to the cupboard and had more nuts.
 
John there's not a lot you can do when you're poorly...those BGs will rise...no doubt you know how important it is to keep well hydrated...even if you are being sick...any kind of retching is vile...but dry retching is even worse...I really hope that virus runs it's course swiftly...you get some relief.
 
Morning...late posting...distracted by the 'old lady' I encountered in the mirror this morning (me)...now she has had some attention...ready for my day...swathed in layers of clothing...walking boots...huge scarf & woolly hat...ready for Harrys daily walk...fresh snow overnight...but not snowing at the moment...so need to make the most of that...woke to a flat 5.00.
