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

4.3 today ... italian meatballs topped with lashing of cheese and baked (pasta for mum, mix of cauli and pasta for mr gee and cauli for me) with homemade ice cream for afters today.
@geefull Your menus always sound delicious and your fbg is always "on point" - pity I can't join the dots so to speak @JohnEGreen utmost respect for that line of duty on the North sea
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and to all those satellite designers, engineers , support staff who provide the satellites that furnish the weather information to the BBC's staff who werk at the BBC's department of science fiction and fantasy called the weather forecast.

A 7.6 for me this morning.

Have a good day all.
From a wet and windy Cheshire.
 
No offence taken. I'm all for constructive critisism. It started out all caps... all bold!!! Just wanted to emphasise the really important bits. I thought I was doing quite good with my tweaks lesson learned and i really appreciate the feedback.

My friends cycle ride is called the Dynamo run. Its a yearly event and he says all three cheeks of his rear end now ache! He isnt normally a long distance cyclist and estimates be burned 8500 calories. - re the boats . At the mo theres a tall ship moored less than 100 metres from our house. We spoke to the captain last night a gentleman of 72 years of age!
 


Sounds like a great idea, I am trying to figure if I can attend or not, will let you know on the other thread. But great credit for taking the initiative.

Would be amazing if you could but if you can't don't worry. There may just be a next time! I'm getting lots of similar replies so I think it was definitely a step in the right direction. Thank you @Canvaspic
 
I am pretty new here and find some of the results of tests confusing. Obviously the UK differs from the US. I did find the mg/dL or mmol/L value for conversion, which has helped. However, now I am trying to figure out the HbA1c. You are the only one I have seen that shows both "HbA1c June 2018 37 (5.5)" How does one figure the conversion out for this? Any help appreciated, thank you.
 
I forgot to post mine yesterday and today. (That table is helpful. In Canada we use mmo/L and % for hba1c.)

Yesterday my fasting was 6.5%. Today was 5.2%. I did consume fewer carbs in the dinner before today's result and exercised then & got more sleep last night. (The day before was my rest day from exercising.) I assume these reasons are why today's level was better.)
 
Morning all, I'm starting the week with 5.4. A couple of glasses of whisky may well have influenced this reading, but not necessarily my overall health .
 
In addition to my 5.1 (which I’m happy with) it is weekly weigh in day.
This week I have lost zero weight. No gain no loss.
I’m ok with this. I still have a bit to lose but in the last week I’ve been focusing on upping the exercise regime a bit.
The plan is still working so happy enough.
Later this week I have the delight of DESMOND to look forward to.
