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

5.0 for me this morning. I'm over the moon with this, my lowest ever fbg. Had a fantastic day in the 5s yesterday I started to count my carbs last week, maybe that's helping.
Hurrah! I'm so pleased for you
onwards and downwards
 
good morning all

5.1 today

grey and overcast here this morning so it's good I got some stuff done in mum's garden yesterday think I overdid it though, bits of me are creaking this morning hopefully a nice walk will give the stiff bits a workout.

Hope your day treats you gently
 
Happy Beltaine!
 
Woke up to a rather pleasant 4.6 this morning! Nursing a coffee before work and my goodness is it chilly! Wish the weather would decide what it’s doing. Hope hump day goes well for you all!

️ It's summer! Someone ought to tell the weather
 
couldn´t measure blood glucose this morning, waiting for new strips... but for the first day in a long time I felt fine and did go to gym and burn the ideal 2200 calories , I did eat 600 grams of beef last night and took some iron pills and vitamin C , Maybe I am low in iron from all this vegetarian food my daughter makes and me besides this food eating mostly chicken and and cheese ..
 
Fasting and just one meal a day , of the low carb variety, is just not making me a winner right now. Up extra early to a hefty 8.6.
Puzzling, I blame allergy steroid meds.

Edit to add: I have a wheezing cough and no voice.
