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

Goodness, @JohnEGreen that sounds scary. I am glad you made it home alright.
I remember when the fish-on-Friday tradition ended over here. I had a good college friend who was in seminary, who told me.
But delicious battered cod was often a Friday standard at the deli where I lived up until last month. Or delicious catfish.

@ianpspurs Thank you for the reminder about Ember Days. They are in the older Prayer Book of the Episcopal Church but I don't know about the new one. (Which is now, come to think of it, 40-odd years old.)

7.3 this morning which makes me very happy after a no-cookies Thursday, a long walk around Walmart, and a halfway decent supper last night.
 
5.8 this morning. Ate a late supper last night which was difficult to dose for without worrying about a hypo. I'm a 4-point-something-kind of gal. I need to chill.

What you are is a star so yes, you really do need to chill. But I'm not type 1 and will never know the issues you deal with day to day. Respect to you.
 
Sugar free caramel sounds fab - where can I buy it?
 

Can’t give a hug or a winner for your scary stagger home as I use the app and ‘Like’ is the only option. But you deserve both hugs and winners trophies.

Yes a bit scary but had phone with me and was on the verge of JG phone home for rescue but I would never have lived it down.

Next Ember Days fall on September 16, 18, and 19 I think.

Though not CE my best pal who passed away this time last year was a licenced reader with the Church of England so I was very involved with his church as well as my own over the years.

And oddly enough a third cousin twice removed of mine ended up in Denver and became the Episcopal Bishop of Colorado some years back he was the Rt Rev. Fred Ingley
 
Interesting. I have friends who were friends with a former bishop of Wyoming!
Whereas I myself know only 4 people who have ever even visited Wyoming.
 
Don't yo carry glucose or something similar, ? glad you got home safely.

I will from now on before when I have gone low I've been at home didn't occur to me that it could happen on what I expected to be just a short walk in the park so just had some no sugar squash with me not a lot of use in that situation I will know better in future.

My FBG this morning was 4.3.
 
I've started carrying peppermints or butterscotch drops in my purse, after having to resort to Mountain Dew in the checkout lane at Walmart a week or so ago. I like peppermints and butterscotch well enough to eat them at need but not enough to be tempted at other times.

7.5 for me this morning.
