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

Good morning all. 5.3 today. Back to full sunshine and high heat and humidity. It’s going to be a hot one. Blood glucose veered off to 7 (2h post) yesterday afternoon. So didnt keep my trend of the last few days. Need more care on the diet. Anyhow reset and keep on trucking. I have only been checking BG more than once a day since the new year, but at least i can spot when things are getting worse and make a change. Have a good one.
 
good morning all

4.1 today

Yesterday's barbecue followed by LC rum and raisin ice cream (the best yet ) offset by a nice walk with mum's dog.
Staying home today in case the plumber comes.
Excellent numbers as usual @geefull rum and raisin ice cream seems to have gone down well. Was it a secret recipe or one you can share - without having to kill me
 
How’s your stomach ache today Ziggy?
@DJC3 unfortunately not great but you I have to get on with it gonna go out to Primark to get a new bed cover that will cheer me up a bit. I’ve also lost a good bit of weight due to my stomach problems I thought I might be gluten intolerant but everything seems to affect me. Just gotta wait it out until the 13th have a nice day DJC3
 
Sending a hug, but a bit of retail therapy is always a good mood booster.
 
Night all going to bed with a slight stomachache no food seems to agree with my stomach these days anyway my BG is 8.0 have a goodnight all

Ziggy2017, could it be the metformin playing up. It happens to me every now and again. Hopefully it will settle down soon.
 
Good morning all. 6.0 fbs this morning.
@Keesha would you prefer a like or a hug? - people can get very antsy if one gets it wrong @DJC3 please don't ever recommend retail therapy anywhere near my wife - I have spent over half my life telling her doctors said it would kill me
