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


I’m having the same thoughts. Indulged myself last night with ‘allowed’ foods (nuts, cheese, pork scratchings, 90% dark chocolate). I think that might be behind my 8.3
 

Congrats on your HbA1c. This is a fantastic result .

Still keeping my fingers crossed that the screening will return an all clear. When will you have your screening?

Well done for your HbA1c that’s a terrific result

Yes men do get breast cancer it’s rare but does happen

I hope upon investigation that there is nothing sinister found
 
@HarrisonK that is an amazing hba1c result - huge congratulations. Hopefully the other issue will prove to be the doctor being ultra cautious
 
@HarrisonK that is an amazing hba1c result - huge congratulations.

I should quickly take the time to thank you and everyone else who has so supportive, even during the past few weeks of my whining that my Bg's were high

This site and the people on it are as responsible for this success as I am.

Thank you all

Well done on your hbaca1 brilliant work. Just wishing you luck with your screening. Hope it happens quickly sonot too long to worry. Meanwhile celebrate the hbaca1
 
Agree on fasting for me too. I seem to get a more level result by just fasting for a max of 16 hours ( ie long overnight) and then 3 regular small meals no snacks. Mind you if you are so busy you can’t eat that could be stress inducing which could also raise the bgs! It’s not easy is it walking the tightrope! I find avoiding highs and lows and trying to keep it as steady as possible is probably my main aim these days. I’m happiest when operating in range of 4.8 - 5.4 including my 2 hour post prandial.
 
@HarrisonK that is a stunning HbA1c result. I am sorry about the cyst issue and hope it will be screened quickly and is nothing to worry about. All the best.
 
Hi all this my blood sugar was 4.9 I went to Freeman’s hospital to get my lungs checked lung function and chest x-ray were fine but I have been given a strong inhaler for my cough and if it dosent clear up in a week my parents have to ring Freeman’s and they will schedule a bronchoscopy my mum wants it done anyway because the last time I was like this the bronchoscopy came back and I had dirty water in my lungs. Also the virus I have is called rhinovirus
 
My lowest today has been 3.2 ! I woke up at 6.30am to a stupid loud motorcycle revving it's engine past my house! At that time! Idiots, I got that low at 8.30am on waking! I put these lows im getting down to significantly increasing my BSL control. My actual non hypo lowest today was 4.2 and my highest has been 5.9. My sugr app predicts a HBA1C of 42 so fingers crossed im in that ball park!
