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

Good morning a pleasant 5.3 this morning. I’m off volunteering today at my local hospice care. The cafe next door is carb central so I will try to avoid the toasted teacake and the toast and the cakes and the crumpets and the sandwiches and the panini. You know all the things you don’t have in at home..

Good luck with your upcoming hba1c test and other results. I know people have found ways of converting average readings to IFCC levels. Mine are not on the same continent never mind post code so good luck. I think trying to predict the IFCC/hba1c level from personal averages has disappointed a few members but it does seem to be a popular parlour game:)

My last one was 51 which I thought was 6.8. I better check the conversion tables.
 
Good morning all on this very foggy day here I do hope it improves later
5.1 this morning which is well within my comfort zone
@trick60 enjoy your jolly in London get that wallet ready!
@OrsonKartt hope you manage to get the treatment you need for that chest infection
@Goonergal im convinced your meter is faulty or you have dodgy strips it’s clearly not what you are eating you don’t normally do ups on your bgs! Have you tested on your back up caresens duo?
@karen8967 enjoy the Chinese
@Debandez i find that if I get a rise from your normal bgs whatever the cause it can take a few days to settle I’m sure if you go back to the routine that works as you have it should settle.
Happy Saturday all hope it’s a good weekend and the fog eventually lifts
 
A bright if cool autumn morning in the flatlands. Apparently, I am rocking a 5.1. Looks like I either get 7+ hrs sleep and good resting hr or fbg numbers I want. Still, we have reached peak insanity. Card shops selling merry Christmas from the cat, dog, pet and to same:arghh::arghh::arghh:
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all keepers of exoctic pets like wives, yep I've been reading my book " Male Chauvinism for Dummies " again. I can almost feel the bruising coming out when I try lesson 3 on Mrs J.

A little 5.4 this morning.

Well folks have a good one, remember today is unique.

Why not download the free app mysugr which if you put your bgs in at least three times a day will give you an estimated hbaca1? It will be a bit of a guide. Know some on here have found it accurate others not so but I don’t think it usually far out. Last hbaca1 six months ago it predicted 31 and I go5 30 waiting to see how results compare this time it’s predicting 30 so will let you know what it is when I know!

Simple solution to this mass stupidity is not to buy the cards. We stopped doing cards when we realized we were spending over £200 on postage. As for pets don't get me started........good blood sugars for you today. Must go time for my mid morening nap.

I was actually buying a wedding anniversary card for Mrs P - a whole week early. Postage is an issue but the bulk of my family live close enough to walk or drop off on the way somewhere. Mrs P has to use her pocket money allowance for anything else.:angelic:
 
Morning All. 6.3 at 08.30 wonder what it was earlier. Am sleeping in more often lately so think I am going to start setting the clock for 7 to check FBG. Safe dinner last night two glasses wine so no real reason. Anyway I am well and trying!
@OrsonKartt hope you manage to get the right meds for chest infection. Please dont ignore it.
@ianpspurs any man who remembers anniversaries without being poked is a rare beast in my experience.
Have a great Saturday everyone. stay well, stay safe.

Mrs P had my wedding ring made by a friend in the trade at Covent Garden and engraved with the date. I tried to lose it at a cricket match but it was returned mangled. A work colleague had been a jewellery maker and mended it. Oh. and it is almost always when the clocks change:angelic:
