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

Come on everyone...lets wipe this slate and start a clean one before the sun goes down both sides of the pond. Diabetes is especially good at being responsible for misunderstanding and frustration. More importantly I need you all. Hugs all round

I might make comments about pet posting, but your weight loss is an inspiration to people like myself, from memory your blood sugars seem ok as well. Please keep posting.

IDK ?
IME ?
I wonder what those initials stand for?

I apologize, @alf_Josiah . I did not mean you at all, and I'm sorry it appeared that way to you. I was talking about some of my "neighbors" where I live -- sometimes it seems like smiling at people who don't like you is like casting pearls before swine -- they turn and trample the one who smiled.

IDK = "I don't know."
IME = "In my experience."

I don't where they originated; I picked them up on another online board. I think they're textspeak? It irritates me when people on some boards post unfamiliar initialisms instead of words, so I shouldn't be doing it myself.

5.4 today..





I realize that weight is not a big issue for all Type 2s but for me and others I know it has been. My numbers are posted not to say that it explains Type 2 but because it's been a struggle for me to get closer to a normal weight for 50 years. For many of us, it is IS a big factor.

Carrying over a 100 extra lbs has had a big impact on me. Every single medical professional I've ever dealt with all of my life has told me about the risk of my morbid obesity to my heart, my joints and my body in general. I have tried unsuccessfully for 50 years to lose it.

Now I've lost a lot of it, I find daily living so much easier, going for walks, going up and down stairs, even bending down to pick up things off the floor. Do I have the body and fitness of a 25 year old? Obviously not but I am healthier now than I have been in many years.

Hi All,

This thread has been already called to order once today.

30 odd consecutive posts of chat containing no mention of fasting blood glucose is not ‘fbgs with some chat’ - it is a major derailment, and not in the intention of the thread.

Please don’t waste your (and the mods) time by continuing this derailment, because the posts will be deleted.

You are welcome to start a chatter thread, in the General Chat section of the forum, but this thread is for people who want to record their FBGs and maybe comment/chat a little, so please stay on topic here.

When I go back and look at the FBG numbers I've noted over the weeks of any one month for the past year, I've noticed that the number have been nice and low since I started a modified DASH diet, just as they were on the LC diet. I don't know if it's the fact that I've been on Metformin all those months, or if the DASH diet is just as good for BG as it is for BP and other "blood" conditions. I will be interested 3 months from now to see if the new statin has affected my "DL" numbers, L and H.
 
Hi guys,

just to come back to that.

i too enjoy that..and in particular this threads ability to educate, encourage & entertain.

it's maybe not, sure others will put me right..( i never was a teacher ;),)
but it seems to me like a teachers rest room, ( i guess diabetes and fbg's being the good AND naughty kids..:hilarious:)

everyone pops in at different times to get a coffee and catch up on colleagues (joys & woes)
so at differing times, the rest room may be full/half/empty and always perhaps a different mix of staff, new & old

Time enough for a quick coffee/tea...and then perhaps pop over to a conversation in the corner of the room and join in
or pick up a previous conversation point with someone.

i guess i see it as OUR "Office Cooler" moment..( as they seem to say, stateside....

)

whatever you call it, it's now a part & parcel of my morning routine..( love it x )

Long may it continue..

Couldn't have put it better. You must have been a teacher in your previous life with such a great way with words.
