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

[ianpspurs]

I just test at the times I would have been eating before I started IF. So I test on waking and then at 8am ish for non-breakfast (and 2 hours later) and 12.30 ish for non-lunch (and 2 hours later). Then if I do exercise other than general walking about (gym, Pilates, long brisk walk), I test before and after that.

Thnaks @Goonergal. That is a very rigorous testing regime. Just out of interest, do you ever see a difference between non breakfast and lunch and 2 hours after?

Usually I drop all day after non-breakfast when OMAD. Pre-dinner is lowest (and also usually is when eating lunch). However post-dinner on OMAD is often higher than expected - I think liver starts to dump. Today for example, 3.8 before dinner and 5.1 after despite only 7g carbs. It all seems to average out - my monthly average has barely moved since October last year despite some temporary fluctuations.

Morning. 4.6 today. Back to work....

Morning all 5.0 for me this morning I’m happy with that. Have a good day everyone

 

[DJC3]

A very acceptable 5.3 today.
Wasn’t sure how I’d react after takeaway curry last night, it’s my daughter’s local and not one I’ve used since I’ve started testing my bg. I know what to choose at my regular place but each curry house has it’s own variations. The saag paneer was amazing.

 

[karen8967]

5.8 for me have a great day all

@ DJC3- very pleasing numbers considering the “new place Curry” nice low starts @Stephenm 2, @Goonergal and @dunelm. I am also pleased with my delicious 5.2 this damp and misty grey morning. X

5.8 this morning following last nights lamb and aubergine curry.

Strange that you had drops I wonder why

 

[Ziggy2017]

Good morning all my BG is 5.1 this morning a little higher than I’d like but I’m guessing I’m a bit higher from the pizza last night

 

[Jenniewren1958]

Morning all 6.5 still way to high
