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

I used to but stopped when I was told I should wash my hands first.
I might try again, using some hand gel before testing.

Even though I keep my meter kit in my bedside table I still wash my hands first. I'm in a small apartment so my bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom are all within 20 feet so it's not like I have to go up and down stairs. I find sitting on the side of my bed the most comfy.
 
6.0 which is not so bad after having had 4 courses last night at a dinner party. My besty invited me and hubby for dinner plus another couple. Her partner is Iranian and he was cooking an Iranian meal for us all. I was excited but apprehensive! I didn't really know what to expect. Well I didn't need to panic. Salad with a fab dressing to start. Thete was a few beans In there but nothing I couldn't cope with! Chicken for main course that literally fell off the bone. Delicious. There were lots of carrots in the dish. But I just had a couple and my friend had got cauliflower rice especially for me instead of the safron rice on offer. How thoughtful. There was a delicious sauce involved but I don't know what was in it as recipe top secret! My BS coped well. Baklava for dessert. I had the smallest sliver just so I could tell him how wonderful it was. Then came the cheese board. Couple of glasses of prosecco and a coffee with cream to finish. I'm a very happy bunny today. I prefer to be in the 5s (my happy place) but after a fab dinner party i will take the 6.0!

Such a busy few days for me and missing the forum. I have a relative coming to stay tomorrow which means extra housework/shopping etc. Plus busy with work. That is all or nothing! Hoping to catch up with myself Monday and the forum. Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. Did you see that spectacular full moon last night. So clear. So near! Next one 22nd December.
 

Thanks - think it had more than a little to do with the gin and red wine though. I’m enjoying it while it lasts
 
Lovely piebald and bay, @karen8967 . Are they eventers?

@Debandez I wish I'd known y'all were having baklava. I would have crashed the party for a piece!

@JohnEGreen you know that is a gutterfly, don't you? You can tell by the black at the bottom of her wings. She looks like she's in attack position, with her wings spread, and in the next frame she is probably clamping down on that turkodile's mouth and securing it with her antennae.

I think it was Emily Dickinson who said "Hope is the thing with feathers" but I don't hold out much hope for that crocoturk.
 
Think the 5.2 at around 3.40 could have been accurate but seems very high for 2 days with probably 40 gms carbs combined. Probably less than 11 hr sleep combined so that may be a factor. Seem to be fighting through a time of big doubts about LC and unusual readings. I want to come out the other side positive and helpful.
