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

OK I can understand that. I still don't understand how it would affect BS levels though. As someone who is vertically challenged, it seems to me that the few diabetics I know, or saw on the DESMOND course, are not that tall. All were around 5'6".
I would have thought that being shorter would generally mean being more likely to have a higher BMI and therefore a higher tendency to becoming diabetic, though I know that diabetes isn't necessarily related to being overweight.

So did I, until I developed it. I'm very tall and my BMI is 21.
 
@Dave from Weeton Yes 5.5 is good. That is the magic number we aim for. If you average around that over 12 weeks it would be an HbA1c of 37, which is in the non-diabetic range.
You are doing well both with reducing your blood sugar and weight. Keep up the good work! :)
 
4.8 sometimes I think my reader is broke hehe.
 
Morning everyone, bit late but here goes...
7.1 @ 5.59 a.m. 7/2/16

2 hours later before B/fast
8.1 @ 8.22a'm. (After Sunday 'lay-in'!!)
 
Found this earlier. Mine is averaging at 5.9 mmol. Very happy. Just hope the chest comes out about the same.
