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

[HarryBeau]

Morning...shattered today...tough evening last night...I got four questions right on University Challenge...so intellectually depleted now...I would have got more right if I understood the rest of the questions...cold here...am I going to admit defeat & turn the heating on...dammed right I am...woke to a 5.4

5.2 this morning

For dinner yesterday had steak mushrooms and fried tomato then when I tested after eating bloods were at 9.9
weird. So 5.2 this morning is pretty good I think.

6.5 this morning. Possibly i should have resisted the large whisky before bedtime. Have great days everyone.

5.9 this morning. Last night for supper I managed to eat 9 chipolatoe sausages ( is that how you spell it?) and a delicious corgette and cheese bake. Its this time of the year and the temperature drop I think. 6 degrees here this morning.....

Likely the tomatoes John...they can be very sweet...great overnight reduction.

4.7 this morning. And so cold! Thought I’d get till at least Mid October before having to scrape the ice off the car

Emma...I hadn't thought of venturing outside until you mentioned that...my heating is on for a little while to take the cold edge off the house...I'll think about de-icing the car when I have to...brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Morning all. 5.3 today is the unsubstantiated claim from the meter. @shelley262 many envious members scraping windscreens and enriching fuel providers here in Blighty. Onions and tomatoes, sine qua non of Mediterranean diet in my mind and biggest struggle/gripe I have with LC. All a game of risk and reward methinks and those meals and that location are heavily skewed to reward IMHO.

Hello. Sorry I’ve been a little quiet on here - after a busy weekend including a lot of activity in other social media environments helping the good Dr M spread his message I now have a tooth infection to deal with.
My numbers are therefore a bit meaningless right now and I’ve woken to a 7.5.
I don’t need hugs, just a dentist and then a dark room to lie down in.

Morning all. BG was 8.0 @ 7.10 am

 

[Jodie Louise]

Morning everyone how are you doing today? My sugar this morning is 4.0

Hope the tooth issues is soon resolved and very unsure how to rate this as you eschew hugs. Which Dr M were you bigging up - note not witch

Chipolatas are teeny tiny Orson...so in real sausage terms you only had two and a half in total...modest by any standards

6.2 seems to be the new norm for me whatever time I eat or exercise.
Amazingly it’s a lovely sunny day in Cornwall after so much rain the last couple of months. Havent ventured out yet though, perhaps I should dig out scarf and gloves just in case.

Even then a bright gal like you will know correlation is not causation

I’m a maths teacher I’m looking for cyclical trends and general trends I keep my readings on an excel sheet with notes about temperature food stuffs, my other ailments.. we maths geeks love this stuff with analysis and graphs

I was a Computing/IT teacher so I expect a system failure most days

I should have said GEEK AND PROUD !

6.2 this morning. I get strangely deflated when it’s not below 6 but following yesterday’s 4.1 who knows...

Toothie problems are my second least fave.. out of all my ailments, I think I’ve handled the big ones well. Tonsillitis and tooth ache are my top two worsed least fave ones. Luckily after a particularly nasty throat thing which went on for 6 weeks I only ever get throat things before a cold now

Be brave @ianspurs

You sound like a normal, well adjusted human being. I have observed and rated many Maths lessons and usually felt like crying for the poor kids and the teachers afterwards. Bet I would have loved your lessons and more importantly, so do the kids @Goacher55
