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

5.5 today reflecting quite a good day low carb wise yesterday. 2 slices bacon 2 fried eggs for breakfast and a chicken kebab (no pitta bread) for dinner. Always buy one as a Saturday night treat. Still hungry so I had 2 crackers with cheese and some salted peanuts. All washed down with 2 glasses of merlot. I love Saturday nights.
 
Morning folks, 4.9 from me this morning. @Cumberland I hope everything settles down for you asap. Two really good night's sleep following much more exercise outside - return of my dearly beloved lawn mower and playing with new Stihl toys. Good sleep is definitely a major asset in managing this condition. People say "you can't out exercise a bad diet" but sleep quality is now being implicated in a slew of C21st ills.
 
First thing this morning was 7.1 gasps in horror, reprick then 6.6 still higher than expected, maybe our low carb Eurovision snackfest wasn’t low carb enough - or maybe just the fact of grazing through the evening rather than eating as a meal. Who knows, anyway I stomped off back to bed in a huff and now it’s 5.8 much happier!

@Cumberland hope you feel ok soon, sending plenty hugs your way.
