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

Morning everyone,
Me and my BG are feeling a little glow this morning. We had 5 Hotel Chocolate dark chocolate buttons and a G&T and some wasabi seaweed last night. 5.6. Downwards and onwards.
Good numbers - what's the name of that cocktail @SueJB sounds like one for stag do's
 
@Goonergal you should ace you HbA1c but I hope you get the results you deserve. I reckon you would never have dreamed back in December 2016 that you would snack on 100% cocoa chocolate and pork scratchings - "It's a funny old game"

Sure is! First time I tried 90% chocolate it was very too bitter. Now even 100% is easy to eat too much of.

Day started well as they got blood out of my arm, which is a rarity. First try too.

Congrats on your 4.7.
 
good morning all

4.4 today

this rain is really helping with shifting the snow only problem is all the melt water in the grooves left by the tyres which I was using to walk in, went out for a walk and it was just damp, rain started and by the time I was heading back there was a young river on the road to wade through so my shoes are in the hearth drying out. I was over optimistic with the shoes obviously, I'll be back in my boots for my next walk
Have a good day everyone.
 
Hello again Goacher55 nice to see you back! K

@Granny_grump. I had a bit of a meltdown. More with myself than anything. I’ve changed insulin now from humulin m3 to basal bolus and it’s taken me time to adjust. I was taking to much insulin ( in my opinion) putting weight on. ( in my scales opinion) and just feeling meh so it’s a new week .
 
Good morning all. Blood sugars were 4.8 today.

Off to work in a bit. Just getting the last few exams graded and then will start enjoying the semester break.

@Granny_grump-. So sorry to read about the infection. Hope you start feeling better soon.
@Goonergal. Keeping my fingers crossed for your HbA1c -- I know you'll do great.
 
Morning all. 6.7 at 8am. Finally below 7! Off for my 2nd repeat blood pressure check soon as that and my pulse rate keep reading high. Can't win 'em all! I blame the tablets. LOL Have a good day folks.
 
Good morning everyone
BG @ 3.40 am was 5.9
BG @9.10 am was 6.1
Same scenario has last few days goes up even though I've had nothing to eat,but it's well within range so can live with that,it does drop during morning to in the 5s and I have a small infection in my skin graft so will see how I go on, taking antibiotics at moment! K
 
Hi ziggy_w I don't feel unwell doctors are keeping an eye on it I go back on Thursday it's been uncomfortable since they removed first lot of packing stitches and looked a bit on the red side. Doctor said there was a little infection their so he put me on antibiotics. Hope you enjoy your holiday break from work! K
 
You will soon get back where you want to be we are all on a diabetic rollercoaster ride from time to time wishing you luck on your journey,take care Best Wishes! K
 
Get well soon.
 
7 this morning. Coffee and cream almost right away, and then 7.3 three hours later. Feeling a bit glum as I can't seem to get below the low 7's/high 6's in the morning.
 
@ SueJB I can justtons=10g weight =1g carb) adding it to G&T (Tescos own diet, 250ml = 4 cals= 0 carbs @ 2bottles 80p) and sprinkling seaweed on top to get that sweet/salt taste
@SueJB I hope you took that in jest because as a combination I really like the sound of those elements. I always reject tonic as too high carb, what brand do you use?
I can just imagine the guys melting the choc buttons (4 buttons=10g weight =6cals=1g carb) adding it to G&T (Tescos own diet, 250ml = 4 cals= 0 carbs @ 2bottles 80p) and sprinkling seaweed on top to get that sweet/salt taste (1g carb, 22 cals).
Sounds so good might have one this evening
