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

Morning...oh dear I've been experiencing a little of the pain in the butt DP recently...my usual 'cure' a little snack right before bedtime...KitKats at the ready usually the small two finger ones (no base comments please)...couldn't find any in our local shop so had to buy the larger ones...fine I can control myself (you think!)...wrong I unwrapped the KitKat broke off two fingers...before I knew what had happened I'd finished the whole bar...woke to a 6.1 oops

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and to who follow the " marriage rules ", Mrs J only demands one thing " everything " , makes for a simple life. I'm always in the wrong.
Talking of being wrong, my blood sugars were 6.9 this morning, well within my comfort zone.
Me's would like to write a long well thought out Brexit strategy, but it's now so boring me's that is all 6 of me can't be bothered.

If you're wondering about the me's part, it's simple their are 11 known dimensions and if you apply the mathematics to your personality, which I did, it turns out I have 6 personalities. Try it sometime.
Have a great day folks.
 
Sorry @alf_Josiah I beat you with 7.0 at 0815.
Morning All. Hope you are enjoying better weather wherever you are. Had a great day out with an old friend yesterday but a few cappucinos involved so maybe that has resonated in today’s score.
@johnpol hugs for continued hypos. @jjraak bon voyage. Have a brilliant and safe time.
Have a great Thursday everyone. Stay well, stay safe.
 
Have a lovely time
 
Take care.
 
FBG could well have been 5.7 this morning, which by itself is very sub-optimal, but everything else is good so fixating there will cause problems - best left alone. Oh my @jjraak you may be ready for Goa but I seriously doubt if it is remotely ready for you. Have a great day everyone.
 
Morning all. Tales of escaping our small island to somewhere warmer seems to be the main mood today..... Yep I'm a bit jeaalous, which shows its probably a great idea! Anyhow 5.2 on the meter today. Have a good one no matter where you are....
 
Little apology. I have posted too much over 2 days and overshared. Detrimental to this community and myself. Please accept my apology in the spirit it is meant.
Post what you like. Of course if it makes you uncomfortable then I understand that but hey, we all have different experiences of life and we can all gain from learning about others perspectives.
 
Good morning all. Woke up to 4.2 today. Have been logging my foods into cronometer for the last few days -- very, very informative. It shows that I'm having more protein than I thought and much less fat. Carbs are pretty much on track. Off to see my GP today to discuss the blood tests, I will have on Monday.

@jjraak -- Enjoy your time in Goa. Sounds like a great vacation. Looking forward to some photos.
@Debandez -- My complete admiration for all you do. I'm sure that in the long run, you will make a big difference. I talked to a colleague,who is also diabetic, about eat low-carb without getting much of a reaction -- but low and behold, when I met him about six months later, he had dropped insulin and lost 30 kgs by adopting a low-carb diet. You never know what will happen when people find out about low-carb.
@johnpol -- Hugs for the hypo. You seem to have a hard time with them lately.
@scouse13 -- Welcome to the thread.

Have a wonderful day all.
 
Well one out of 17 isn't too bad, thats if number 4 includes howls of derision.

45th anniversary coming up in May so must be doing something right.
 

Great fbg again. Whatever the cronometer says, it’s obviously working for you. Good luck with the GP appt.
 
Good morning all. 8.6 for me today, probably not terribly accurate as I faffed about for a good while before actually taking my reading.

Off down to the seaside today with Mr P and my niece. Looking forward to the breath of fresh air!

Hope everyone is doing well today.

P62
 
Thank you.

Blood test done..hurrah!
