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

A real miss misty meadow start here - chilling out to Jackson Browne. 5.3 on meter apparently. In range bg wise but nothing special. The longer I follow LC/high veg the less it seems to give a feeling of wellness. More a case of living with tiredness/poor sleep/recurrent low level virus as a trade off for some form of bg control . Ongoing rock and hard place scenario personally but many would swap places so flame away.:)
Edit: Of course, I have never been this old and decrepit so I have no idea how I should feel and this WOE may be doing an amazing job:banghead:

Good morning all. 5.8 today. Cloudy and mild here. Long walk for me today.
Good luck today @enzina . Slowly but surely the libre is been covered in more areas. Hopefully in time it will reach your area. If the other people on the forum are anything to go by, it should be a win win for the recipient and the nhs/taxpayer.
Hope everyone is well or improving. Hope you have a BG to be proud of. Have a great day.

Good morning 5.6 for me.

Got some other good news with my weight loss this week, I am finally out of morbid obesity (category 3) into category 2 obesity. My BMI is now 39.5 (started at 48.0), and I've lost 43.39 lbs (19.68 kg , just over 3 stone so far since the end of June when I was diagnosed.

Great work Chronicle...well done.
 
Morning everyone still not feeling great today but my mum is trying to convince me to go to Harry Corries (a home shop) to buy myself a new bed cover I am quite tempted to go but my cough gets worse in the cold. Libre says I’m 3.5 and meter says I’m 4.9 I got a little scare from the libre last night saying I was LO but I was 4.5 have a good day everyone
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who woke up this morning, bit of a result waking up, always a good start to the day.

Today a 10.1, which had been hiding in the meter came out saying " that will teach you to eat peanuts at 10:30 pm "

Well make the most of today, only another 1273 shopping day's left before I become interested in Christmas shopping, yep crossing them orf the calendar.
Have a good one.
 
Morning All. A much happier me with 6.2 at 0800. Yay!
@ianpspurs I too could never give up veg and am clinging on to the green ones come what may. If I end up on insulin because of veg rather than cake sobeit. I do find it hard that for some just stopping the starches is enough to maintain good BG. But this is living our own lives so lets march on (or hobble in my case!)
Have a good day everyone, stay well, stay safe
