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

Winner for advent calendar feel envy love white company stuff but pricey so that’s special
 
Winner is for the sentiments for other members not the reading which was clearly an error - go back and demand a backstop/no backstop/extra unicorn eggs/bg - - -
Thanks @ianpspurs you are always generous and encouraging and make me smile.
Last night instead of my usual G&slimlineT I indulged in more than half bottle of Cinsault Rose which is dry (I know red wine ok but not always suitable) and a couple of handfuls of walnuts. I am going to have to pull up my socks as 6 month HbA1c mid month.
 
good morning all

4.3 today

had a quiet evening yesterday during which a couple of glasses of red wine may have been consumed
since yesterday was my birthday. St Andrew's day yesterday too so perhaps I was destined to end up living in Scotland

At least the biting wind has calmed down today so perhaps a walk later after we get the shopping done.

Hope your day treats you well
 
As long as no one ever tells Julie or the boys that I am generous and encouraging it will be cushty/peng

Late testing today
6.1 so may have been different a little earlier but I'm good with this

1st of December already! Feeling a little festive actually. Tree up. Most presies bought but not wrapped. We don't send cards these days, we give to charity. So almost there now.

Thought you might like this so sharing. It brought a smile and a tear to my eyes, at the same time. Have a nice weekend everyone.

Happy belated birthday sounds like you had a quiet but enjoyable one with a couple of glasses of red certainly didnt harm your fasting blood glucose which, Im sure is the envy of all diet controlled type 2s on here!
 

Happy belated birthday, @geefull.
 
Belated happy birthday and would you mind sharing the information about the wine you enjoyed (we all want fbg of 4.3 please) - only for goodness sake no-one tell @DJC3 (she only drinks by the Methuselah - proper job apparently) I just hope those poor little girls keep that tree straight
 
Happy belated birthday to you.
 
I love the hotel chocolate advent calendar idea. So low carb too! Enjoy x
 
I agree on the wine recommendation needed too!
 

This might help
