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

Alas poor Yorick. My FBG was 11.7 mmo/lt today, better than 13.0 yesterday. Off booze for Lent, four days now, so think my liver is playing games.

Have the T2 annual review in 10 days time. Going cold turkey carb-wise. coasting BG 8 ish 90 mins after food. Still new to this meter-wise, learnt that fruit causes spikes, next experiment is fruit with a lot of yummy Greek yoghurt. Some days of low spirits, hopefully behind me.

Greek yoghurt..plus good.

Berries...blueberries, blackberries, strawberries a good choice

Other fruits CAN impact BG's
So double ungood.

( All the Shakespeare got me thinking theatricals .and 1984 came to mind for the speech.)

Oh and welcome to the forum @True Blue

OK I have no idea about that last one, and yet it's very familiar; with a bit of paraphrasing: "... discussing existing faults with DCUK crew: 'Rats! This fruitbat meter!'"
In case you really are serious about your lack of familiarity with this.

It is Read The F'ing Manual (sort of.)
 
Trouble is if it was Shakesperean in the original it would still be full of swear words.

Or maybe not.

Away, you starvelling, you elf-skin, you dried neat’s-tongue, bull’s-pizzle, you stock-fish!

Then I suppose to adapt and paraphrase that for us T2D's.

it should read RTFL.
As in carefully read the label on all Food items .


Should save a lot of writing when replying to a LOT of *threads.....

(*No..we wouldn't be so rude )
 
See, so much better
Only pizzle is a certain part of the anatomy so he was actually calling someone a prick in fact a skinny prick though the bull's pizzle was often dried out and then used a riding whip so Falstaff may of been just alluding to Prince Hal being a skiny person.

Oh, double it! Double it! *!%'# toil and trouble!"
 

When I saw the top quote I thought, "Oh, shoot, maybe I better move to Michigan after all."

Then, thankfully, I saw the Tolstoy one. Sigh of relief. Michigan's too cold 3/4 of the year anyway.
 
Morning All. 5.5 this morning. Got a very big shock yesterday. No 1 son was travelling down to celebrate his birthday with us today and had a “cardiac event”. Luckily he was able to pull into a garage and another motorist called an ambulance. They have kept him in for monitoring and he sees a cardiologist today. Not the best way to spend your 28th birthday.
Best wishes to you all. Stay well, stay safe!
