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

7.5 and 8.3 this morning on 2 meters. Pretty wide range of discrepancy. Like @PenguinMum I feel clueless.

That is the default setting on here whatever spin people put on things so relax you are perfectly normal - as well as normally perfect.

Thank you, @ianpspurs. Sometimes I feel like it is a sunny morning at LeMans or Talladega and we are all sitting in the pits drinking coffee and discussing calibration and why it isn't working.

6.4 for me this morning - start of a new week I think - every days the weekend at the moment!

@PenguinMum you are far from clueless - things will come right. Mine was 4.9 today. Actual level higher than ideal but food choices I made and method of offsetting them worked which frequently isn't the case for me or others. Recognisable Sunday roast (rib of beef) with carby elements (new potato and new carrot, 1 roast onion, head of broccoli roasted from frozen, 1 pepper and tomato plus gravy . 1 glass of Tempranillo - compromise. I did at least 1000 steps every hr from eating until bed time. Not perfect but acceptable compromises. 2 big T2 related anniversaries for me this week

Thanks Ian though its hard to fathom. Slept ok ate chicken and broccoli only. Hope its not the two gins beforehand lol. I like the sound of all your dinner inc Tempranillo. My favourite wine is Ribera del Duero but only makes economic sense in Espana. Happy dual anniversaries I go up a year on Wed which is not worth marking without all my boys.

4,2 this morning it was. Drove down to Oxford this morning and back in the afternoon no one feels like cooking so have much against my better judgment agreed to a take away .

I was sure I posted that I had 5.8 today, and very content, too.

PenguinMum · Jul 7, 2020

Morning All. 6.6 no more to be said.

philchap1 · Jul 7, 2020

4.2 for me, take care everyone.

ert · Jul 7, 2020

4.8 this morning. My new sensor caused my MM to alarm three times overnight. Hopefully, with all the new calibrations, it will settle down. Advice is to place it on my arm 24 hours before activating it. Something I must try.

5.7 @ 0800 today

ianpspurs · Jul 7, 2020

Good morning all. A 4.8 for the 5th anniversary of my joining here https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/th...se-full-on-chat.163627/page-1399#post-2282405

5.4 . If the weather wasn’t so awful I would turn a few carwheels up the road. As it is, I will celebrate with an extra slice of lemon in my glass of filtered water.

Read somewhere on this forum about how to grow ginger from supermarket ginger root. Now I’ve got a ginger plant. Who would have guessed I had green fingers

Ooh, I like that idea. Have been planting seeds and fighting the slugs and pigeons who seem to think my offerings are lunch. Maybe they would not like ginger. Will have a try.

After last nights take away was 6.7 at 4 AM but down to 5.2 at 7 AM.

A day for congratulations, basking in the righteous light of hard work and dedication being rewarded. The road ahead stretches far and flat. Good man yourself.
