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

Great news on bg and weight loss - a pound is a pound as people never say! The verse is Van Morrison's not mine. Comes from the song These are the days - so appropriate for my wife and I these last 2 days. Hope all of you can say they find at least some part of the day which lifts the spirits.

6.5 this morning around 6:00am. Had an awful night, far too hot, finally gave up trying to sleep around 2:20am and went downstairs to sleep. (We have a downstairs bedroom). A little bit cooler but not much.
I thought it was just me finding it too hot to sleep comfortably. The temperature this week is 10degrees lower than last week, but I managed ok then. I do wonder if the BG is adversely affected. I almost had my head out of the window last night, but still far too stiflingly hot. Thinkingof setting up a bivouac in the garden. Keep the hedgehogs company. I think it is going to rain tonight though. Could be nice and cool.

Up at 4:30 am so tested BG. It was 6.3 this morning. That’ll do.
 

Had a similar issue with sleeping last night so have been up since about 3:30am this morning. Just couldn't knuckle down to sleep, hot and uncomfortable also a little bit stressed as had an interview with DN nurse at 8:10 this morning to discuss latest blood results. All I can say is if you want to keep your glass half full, don't bother with the DN at my surgery.

How sad that the DN couldn't be more helpful since you had a fantastic fbg and lost a pound. Sympathise with not being able to sleep well but these temperatures are far too cold for me to sleep well - the 39c days suit me best. I can't stand winter.
 
Morning all. 5.0 this morning - snap @Starfish18 - inside what is considered normal for the general population but a touch higher than many of my fasting readings lately. Autumnal last night here and I really don't enjoy autumn through to mid spring.
