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

Thanks geefull
 
Morning all 5.3 for me today. Nearly 9 hrs sleep and resting hr back at 58 on fitbit so general health OK. I need something to obsess about in my life so fbg it must be today I am a little apprehensive about Nordic Walking class at 18.00 in this heat but I figure the route to all round health lies in exercise so it has to be done.
@karen8967 have a great time in Santorini - almost exactly 1 year ago we were off to Skiathos for our son's wedding and now we are waiting for 2 granddaughters this week. It couldn't be an omen could it?
 

I avoided the feed for a long tine too as I was quite intimidated by everyone else. I was having high results. With hindsight not high, but higher than everyone else.. or so I thought. My switch to insulin was not easy for me as I became obsessed with lowering my bg in my case I put on so much weight. I’m now in a happy balance of intermittent fasting and lchf losing weight(16 lb) , reducing my insulin significantly ( I’ve probably reduced it by 7/8 )
 
thanks ian it may well be

I might do the same Bubbsie especially between 12 and 3. Yesterday I had loads to do and got so hot. My poor cats are beside themselves. I keep putting ice cubes in their water bowl.

The cat is occupying the main bedroom where it's cooler...the dog has dug himself a trench under the huge hedge in the garden...I may be joining him later if he'll let me PM...ooh...unbelievably no rain expected for the next few weeks.

@Terrytiddy hypos below 3.0 are the worst I would definitely talk to your doctor about this. I know this may not be the wisest suggestion but maybe you should eat slightly higher carb until you can see your doctor
 
@ianpspurs make sure if your doing your walking class to carry some water and a cereal bar
Have a nice time at the wedding @karen8967

Hi @Ziggy2017 when I go low I don't feel bad or like a hypo. I took my June graph of blood glucose to my Dr showing a few low readings but he said they were ok as my highest reading over the month was only 6.5. I have halved my Metformin and Gliclazide meds as well. I'm in with Dn tomorrow for my MOT so will have a word with her to.
