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


Hug for the morning highs, and the weather. We are having see-saw weather here too -- anything from cold and windy to cool and sunny, back and forth, back and forth, 10 degrees apart. And my morning FBGs have been running high -- 6s and 7.
 
6.1 this morning, 5.4 before tea. Took metformin this morning too as higher, but no idea why so high. Ah well.

Rest of day has been constructing the greenhouse and filling 4 raised beds with 1.5 ton of soil. I ache!!!

Don't rely on metformin to bring down blood sugar levels significantly as it has a very small effect on Blood sugars. Also it has to be taken regularly as it has to build up in your system over time.
 
The owls and the crickets are singing together,
The stars have all taken the moon for a ride;
The first rain of summer is bending the heather --
As soft as a feather, I hear it outside.

Hush now, you hoot owls! and crickets, be wary;
The morning is hiding behind the next cloud.
Let the sounds of the evening be pleasant and airy;
Let nothing be scary, and nothing be loud.

Perhaps for now I should take 1 morning and night instead of two. Been really good today, 17g carbs so will see what the morning brings..
 
Thanks, SasliaKC. Feeling housebound must have been awful for you. I sincerely hope things have improved for you.
 
Thanks, Penguin Mum.

Thank you. It was years ago. One reason I stay in my current apartment is that it is within walking distance of a grocery store, a post office, and other stores. I would love to be in a small town but small towns are not very walkable, and I seriously doubt I'll ever be able to afford a car again. New cars aren't fun to drive anyway.

I hope the coming week will be good for you.

But it's a good ache right? I so miss gardening
 

I LOVE this!! I need a T shirt with that line!
 
Finally @jjraak what a lovely pic of Lauren dogs and sunset or rise?

Sunset, @PenguinMum .

The beaches we nickname Dog Town.



It's not a place if you dislike animals and the attention.
The Sand Dogs come in many varieties.
Sleeping, friendly, begging, sorrowful, playful & naughty.......

Back at the rooms it's the Cat Hotel.
(No, I honestly can't win, can I .lol ..good job I don't mind Lauren's mad animal ways )
