5.6 today, quite nice now we've had a bit of rain although the clear blue sky promises another scorcher. Enjoy the day

Just did my very first fasting blood glucose test - 6.1 this morning. Today is my first full day of tracking (got the meter last yesterday afternoon, did both before & after dinner. I'm also keeping a food diary.)

Hello and welcome. Off to a good start I would say. All the best.

5.5 at 07.45. Such a relief to have a good downpour especially since I planted 3 white hydrarengeas yesterday. Foolish I know but I couldnt help myself! Have a good day All washout in the south tomo.

Morning all. 4.3 today.

Next door’s cat has been popping in to see us in the evenings recently, we must have accidentally locked up with her still inside last night. This morning the newspaper on the doormat was wet and shredded - bless her!!!!View attachment 27795

Oh these sweet little creatures ️️️

Morning all 5.2 for me today - if I end up there in December (with no Metformin) for next lab test I will be half way to a goal. I think today's fbg is too high to do that so not comfortable. I know many people would be happy with that number and lots can't afford to be even that low so hear me out. We need to be able to be honest about what drives us and I have stored away a definition of remission that has 2 consecutive non medicated hba1c levels at 5.2 which has always been my target. Finally shared.
@DJC3 great number - pic is nice but cats are on the same list as coconut and cup cakes for me. @Goonergal good to see you back on form.

Good morning everyone very surprising results from the barbecue last night pre dinner BG was 7.6 I ate two hotdogs and a burger without the bun (I know I’m weird ) two hours later BG was 5.7 I checked half an hour later and I was 5.3 it was about an hour before bed for me and I didn’t want to hypo during the night so I had a slice of chocolate cake my mum had made after that BG was 8.0 then I checked one last time before bed and BG was 4.7 I didn’t have anything to eat or drink because at this point I was too tired to care and I thought if worst comes to worst I have gluco juice beside my bed. Anyway today’s BG is 4.8

6.8 at 9:30 have a terrible headache maybe because the weather is changing now .. I have become somewhat aphatic from these very high temperatures 30 degrees celcius in our sitting room yesterday , have skipped exercise for the last week ... even when having been drinking enough water it feels like an hangover actually , how are you all dealing with the heat ?

Hi, I too think its important to have personal goals. Would you care to share how your mindset was reached? ie is there any science in it or is it a personal thing? Best thoughts in all events..

@OrsonKartt Someone provided a link to the/an NHS website which had that definition but I can't find it now. It came from a poster on these boards in another thread. The target stuck with me as a good aim and remains my personal definition of well controlled. Maybe someone will provide the link but for now I can't. I enjoy reading your posts BTW.

I find too much protein raises my FBG the next day so could be that.

I was doubting your judgment after you voted to keep the old goldfish picture but you’ve just redeemed yourself ;-)
Not sure my breakfast of chorizo omelette is going to help - salad for lunch it is.
