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

5.3 this morning which is as high as after meals over the last week or so. Twice just lately I have gone to a 1 meal day had excellent readings all day and a meh fbg. Its not an alert high reading but it just spoils my morning - however it is slightly lower than @Goonergal so bearing in mind her HbA1c not all bad! Was 4.8 @ bedtime so hoped for better.

Nothing wrong with 5.3

@philchap1 as an fbg I agree. It is above trend and 2 instances following 1 meal the previous day sparked a query. 3 -3.5 hrs later with only almond milk tea now 5.8 so body seems to be in a mutinous mood. I am hoping it is a bit of a rebound effect but I really appreciate the injection of common sense.

7.2 this morning.

Bit glum, wondering if it’s because I wasn’t very active yesterday or because I woke later than usual. Will give breakfast a miss this morning I think.

Don't be discouraged! It's a number and gives you today's direction. Onwards and downwards

Mutinous, now there's a good word

@SueJB it certainly seems like my body is "having a moment". For those who can remember it is a bit like Juande Ramos and the tomato ketchup ban at Spurs

I like to think more that a particular part of my body is "having a moment". Apart from the BAG which has a paddy now and then, all the other bits seem to be doing grand. I know ketchup but not footbal:angelic:
 
@SueJB and @ianpspurs thanks for messages of encouragement, and as you so succinctly put it Ianpspurs ‘an injection of common sense’

Its hard not to let your day be coloured by the number: the happy feeling that comes with 5s obviously has an equal and opposite reaction to high numbers.

I agree, mutinous is a good word!

Good morning all. Blood sugars were 5.0 this morning. Have come down with a cold -- not too bad, though, mainly suffering from congestion.

@karen8967 -- Have a wonderful vacation. Enjoy.

Hi @Granny_grump_ I think the comment was aimed @ me. I agree there's nothing wrong with 5.3 and as I have been told before:
Now, it seems to me some fine things
Have been laid upon your table,
But you only want the ones that you can't get

I'm in agreement with you but although I've been a little off track recently I'm still not bad but I do wish I could get my head on and return to the 5s,but those fine things on my table keep calling me and my deaf ear isn't working just now! K
Your doing fine keep it up! K
