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

Agree with you - you have posted what are my thoughts at the moment.
 
Frustrated isn't it Saskia. All sorts involved, food, sleep, stress, illness just a few examples. I feel a 14 day cgm would benefit you. Just wearing one for 14 days will show you so much.
 
4.7 which is a great relief as I dreamed I ate a jam sandwich and bs went up to 32. I’ve never liked jam sandwiches so no idea what that was all about.
@SQ71 well done you for being proactive and getting yourself a meter. Welcome to the thread.
 
I guess so. We can hold each others virtual hand through it all. I must say your BGs have stayed impressively good throughout.
Thanks for that and I like the idea of a virtual hand hold. First reading today was 4.8 @ 5.30 rising to 5.4 @ 8.00. As for what they have been lately I have next to zero trust in them or what eventual A1c will be. I am really hoping to be proved wrong and a set of blood results to show all this (to me) nonsense works for me. Currently - 5 years in-, this is faith without works - which is useless.
 
19.2....stood induced, they say I’m type 2 I’m taking metformin and Gliclazide, I was only diagnosed in March after being in DKA and sepsis. I’m really fed up now that I can’t control this anymore, go specialist nurse hopefully imaging me Monday
 
Hoping and praying things improve for you after Monday. Hang in there and stick around here there are some really supportive folks here.
 
I had sepsis in 1997, you need to take good care of yourself Karen.
regards
D.
 
6.3 today which is fine and not food induced.
Sending you virtual hugs for tackling this Karen and better times ahead.
 

Hope they sought you out
