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

Hi all,

4.2 to these morning.

My other news:
I lost another 1.7 lb (0.7 kg) this week (edited to correct, typed in last week's weight loss by mistake).

This gives me a total loss of 100.0 lbs (45.3 kg - 7 stone 2)

I am no longer obese for the first time in many years, now I'm in the overweight category. I weigh less than my wedding and now fit in a size 14 to get into a wedding dress of size16, 33 years ago). I started at size 24 or 22. I've lost 13 1/2" off my waist.

Here's my latest before and after.

Congratulations, that is simply awesome and inspiring. You should be front page :)
 
So...after slightly falling off the wagon I went on to do it properly with some choccy biccies. Ahem. I figure when you do it, might as well make the most of it, get it out of your system and to be fair, Mothers day is a very tough day for me.

Back to it today.

So, 8.1 this morning. Let's see how fast it drops.

Have a good one folks.
 
Well after yesterday's carbs fest.
(Nachos...yum AND ouch :***:)

We then went on to have a wonderfully debaucherous night, drinking and eating with some Indian friends on the beach, being invited to join in some dancing with a dozen or so merry Indian gents (who were most respectful).and some lovely russian ladies, who were even more merry, but delightful movers
.
Eventually the night finally wound down.

And of the three of us (compulsory holiday dog ownership;)..means you can never be JUST a couple ) .two of us crashed early.:yuck:

And once back at rooms, a swift night cap for me (naughty) then bed

Saw the dawn of a new day with...a stunning.6.2..:D...expected much worse.

Enjoy the start of a new week all.xxx

Oh now that is great. And well done you. Brilliant.
 
On the road again.
A handsome 5.5 at 0545 - the wheel of wonderment seems to like a rhyming and rhythmic reading - rock and roll. Wonder if it was because Angus Young celebrated his 64th birthday yesterday - abusolutely thunderstruck.

Off to Heathrow today and a journey of head-scratching, so called, foodstuffs on a flight of delight to that magical soup bowl city of bonkers and discombobulation, New York.
 
Good morning all. Blood sugars were 5.6 this morning -- after an unsuccessful attempt at lowering ketones (for my GP). Unfortunately, ketones still up, but blood sugar also. Well, will fast today, at least until I get home from work at 9 p.m.

@Chronicle_Cat -- What an amazing achievement.

Have a wonderful day all.
 
Bright sunny Sussex Coast dawn. Going to be an odd day. My BP was high at a routine test, so the Clinic is fitting me with a 24 hour BP cuff/monitor on my left bicep which is going to test every hour, all through the night. Forgive me if I'm a sleepyhead tomorrow.

FBG 8.5 mmol/lt. Weight coming down, BMI 31.0, so will monitor for another month before asking for extra meds.
