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


Are you trying to minimise a morning rise? I find eating breakfast or not makes very little difference to my second reading of the day. BG seems to want to go up after waking - and the rise varies a bit for no obvious reason - but then comes back down again. For me the benefit if IF is to reduce insulin resistance so only eat breakfast if I’m unusually hungry in the morning. Also find that I’m less hungry during the day when I skip breakfast.

@Goonergal yes, in the past I have done an experiment with this and found no real difference in bg at 2 hours. I obviously want the most stable levels I can. The only other reason to eat breakfast is to get enough fibre.

Edited:
Half a toasted Lidl HP roll works well for that. I do add plenty of Chia seeds or flaxseed to salads. Hemsley sisters flaxseed bread is brilliant for fibre especially with lots of Epoisses.

Sympathy and empathy ickihun. 8.6fbs for me this morning after a totally sleepless night full of dreadful pain. Rang the hospital again this morning to see if the results of my pelvic xray on 30th Jan. had arrived. They had finally been commented on but was told I would have to wait until my MRI scan results were back then I would be able to see the consultant who requested them to discuss both. She said MRI scan results are taking 4 to 6 weeks! I've been struggling for 81/2 months now but the pain is getting worse and becoming disabling. I hope you and me both have a better night tonight. Best wishes.

@Glenmac Thank you it's a bit of a journey we are both on with our healing process but I'm sure we will both get there in the end,hope you now have your wheelchair to help you get around better and the next 6 weeks fly by for you. Hopefully by then you should not be much longer before they remove your cast and a speedy recovery is wished you too! K

@Granny_grump_ After reading you post and the kind words to glenmac I am full of admiration for your kindness and attitude. Hope all goes well and there is no negative impact on your diabetes.[/QUOTE]
@ianpspurs Thank you I have found on this forum many nice people and giving a moment to express a little thought and kindness goes a long way, and you will find like minded people on here helpful and kind and supportive,for myself I've enjoyed getting to share things with others very therapeutic. Its just a few moments out of my day but the rewards are good and I'm of the generation that where brought up by parents who always said treat people has you would like to be treated and you won't go far wrong in this world. I have never forgotten this! K
 
What are all the thread postings about from koobeebo00 seems to be strange they are all to universities,anyone else received them appears to be around 90 of them! K
 
Morning...a mad few days with work...up at 3am yesterday...on the road by 05:45...lots of eating on the run...the last few days woke to 5.6's...this morning another 5.6...since I've been eating on the run...not too bad...shattered last night...had a good sleep...just looking forward to a day at home...before the next round of work begins!
 

How are you now dear ? Send you my love and best wishes ? So much you have to struggle with it is so sad
 
5.1 this morning so my fbgs mirror my football team in being out of the Champions League. Fitbit shows lots more mins awake compared to the last 2 nights and about 80 mins less sleep. Amazing what affects fbgs. Also clear that if this has always been the case work was bad for my bg levels. @Goonergal consistently good levels providing me with a nice challenge thanks for that and for all the other sub 5 and sub 4 members. I may have become too complacent without this thread.

Edit
sun corrected to sub and ay to may
