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


Yea I know what you mean. I read a paper a year or 2 ago saying that real damage starts getting done with any spikes above 7.2. And that hba1c i.e. Average levels can mask these spikes. I try to keep my levels at all times under 7.
..........As long as I continue to test I am able to do this. ( I can modify my diet / activity / rest )

And that is why I test regularly at 1 hour and then 2 hours the other day I was at 11.8 at 2 hours after eating but had neglected to test at 1 hour so have no idea what the actual peak was I like to know how high I go and keep it as low as possible.

Hello @Debandez, I wonder if you would consider posting less in BOLD? Maybe I am over-sensitive, but seeing lots of text in bold feels very violent to me, a bit like a text all in CAPS, but worse. When I see it, I don't stop to read the post as it makes me feel uncomfortable. I just pass hastily on to something else. So a strategy aimed, I suppose, to draw attention actually has the opposite effect. Please don't take offence, this is meant as positive criticism, and also I'd like to be able to read what you post, it sounds interesting!
 
Good morning each from a windy and sullen Fenland - have I woken in October? Fbg also dreary at 5.6 but this week's sleep hrs average well over an hour more than those for at least the last month and resting pulse rate climbed 1 - looks vertiginous on fitbit graph Probably means mischief in the machine pushing bg into places I don't want but aren't dangerous.
Second granddaughter may be here today or tomorrow as 2 weeks overdue and mum has been ordered into hospital today. @OrsonKartt interesting snippet re your dealings with NHS over diabetes. I read about Newcastle diet whilst in my GP surgery years ago and used the ideas myself 3 years ago.

Morning...a dull day here which oddly enough I am enjoying...cool breeze blowing through the house...a paperwork day methinks...about time I tackled that...fractious sleep last night...not surprisingly woke to a 6
 
Good morning all, I'm bleary eyed so far today.... I'm expecting a friend who has cycled more than 125 miles through the night from London so will be in good company. Still warm here in Britains most Easterly town but theres rain in the air . Despite a very short sleep my sugars are 5.4. ...enjoy your day if you possibly can....

I’ve saved this as I’m currently trying to reverse my type 2. I’ve gone lchf and I’m doing really well I’m actually looking forward to my next hba1c

It is a really good starting point and congratulations for taking control! Best thoughts to you...
 
Morning All from a wet and windy West Sussex. Love it, garden happy, cats not so, looking out through cat flap wondering if its worth making the journey.
Anyway 5.5 again at 08.30. Have a good day.
Shelley drive carefully in the rain.
 
Was your friend's cycling a one off or do they cycle that kind of distance regularly? Conjures visions of Britain in the inter war era - the days of The Long Weekend (Graves version). Good result fbg wise from a short sleep. Are there any trawlers left near you and the distinctive smell from the boats?

When I was crew on Sea Otter a RAF launch, Great Yarmouth, not that far from you, was a regular port of call for us as we spent a lot of time chugging around on the North Sea
