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

Morning all. Insomnia strikes again. 3.15am seems to be default wake up time, even at the weekend. Dozed for a while but gave in at 4.15am. On the positive side bathroom has now been cleaned! FBG was 4.8.

Insomnia struck here too. It's 2:19 am and I'm still awake, and eating almonds.
KitCat wants me to come back to bed so I'll try again to sleep.
Or continue reading the Vera Stanhope mystery I checked out today.
See you later -- with FBG # whatever it may be.

I could have sworn I posted this earlier but 4.9 this morning @ 04.15 AM.

@OrsonKartt bit warmer here with a temperature of 5 degrees C.

I know this happens every year but its still somehow a shock to the system ..
 
5.3 today - very Thursday night football kinda number. Still feel same about LC as I do about Poch. Results are reasonable but really don't believe he or it are the real deal. Just don't know a better alternative in either case so have to live with imperfections. (Mrs P would probably say "precisely" with a little smirk)

I watched the sun rise this morning and the forecast for the day looks positive so I hope to do a spot of gardening. As the tomatoes have almost finished and the last of the green ones are unlikely to ripen now, this afternoon I might be firing up the cauldron and making chutney. La belle dame smiled 4.6
 
Good morning all. 5.2 today. Cool here @ 2 degC . But should warm up nicely. Long walk for me.
Thanks @OrsonKartt for your suggestion, it might be a hard sell to my mother, but it has a lot of merit.
Behind on my paperwork and tax returns, so that is going to take up my weekend.
Hope everyone is well. Your BG plays ball. Have a great Saturday.

Sod that Goonergal...I occasionally have a spate of very early waking...the only positive part of which is my BG always seems to be lower...since it's the weekend hope you can get some shut eye later.

Nice to hear from you again. La belle dame has Merci so all must be well.
 
Morning...not up until 7am again...this is starting to feel as near to a holiday as I'll get this year...woke to the Trump/Kavanagh fiasco all over the news...never was there a more appropriate scenario which demonstrates absolute power corrupts...on a lighter note my effort to thwart my GP's smugness at my next review continues...woke to a 5.5...I seem to be finally heading in the right direction.

Thanks @ianpspurs Hope the bears are staying in the woods and you don't have to chase them from your garden. La belle dame still plays games and every morning is a surprise. Just like Christmas!

We have tigers in the fens - although conversations with other poultry keepers reveal badgers looking for a feast. Christmas will become more of a year long planning exercise now the number of grandchildren has doubled and looks set to expand. Not so much a surprise as a military exercise.
 
Good morning All. 8.2 this morning. Had a bad day yesterday, kitchen went on fire called services and two engines from neighbouring towns arrived. My friend who was here and I managed to put it out soaking 8 large bath towels but it was the granite worktops that stopped it spreading. It was out by the time the boys arrrived but we were in total shock for the rest of the day. The second engine smashed our gate and a large chunk of magnolia tree and made the grass look even worse but they were responding to what could have been a rapidly developing tragedy. Having raced up the stairs for bath towels set my arthritis off and I cant walk today. But you know what I got off lightly.
Annoyed about the BG number though.
Take care everyone, throw out those old camper gas you use in a power cut and buy a fire blanket or tank. Stupid.
 
Morning all
6.7 today. Thinking I might stop testing fbgs for a bit. I can’t seem to get them back to the comfortable 5s I was having in June and July and it’s just bringing my mood down for the day when I see these inching towards 7 with no explicable reason.

@shelley262 have you met the medicane? Hope it passes you by.

Wow. Forget about fbg and grounds, saving life and limb far more vital. Hope mobility issues quickly improve. Very eventful day.

@DJC3 Just relax and leave the fbg readings for a while. There will be a reason for the changes but being in the thick of it all is not a good time to analyse properly. See how rational we can all be when it is not us?:angelic:
 
good morning all :)

4.6 today

Must go out and stock up my LCHF pantry today,

@Bubbsie I agree about the Trump/Kavanaugh thing. How much more satisfactory, just and decent it would have been if they had done the 'proper' investigation at the right point before this damaging, undignified and disgraceful public spectacle happened.

Good luck with your GP ;)
