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

5.4, dodgy knee and still autumn . Moana, lots of tea, Noah's Ark and Old MacDonald's tractor for me today - maybe let granddaughter play as well.

Thanks for asking @DJC3
Usual for me is to have highest level first thing in morning, then drop to low fives and mid-fours in afternoon. (Or at least that has been normal this last few weeks). Usually morning level rises until I break the fast. What has changed recently is that I have not been seen by GP or HCP for over 6 months, for any of my health conditions, which they like to ‘monitor’. I have been using low carb meal replacement products and adding huge portions of green veg, or mushrooms, and a teaspoon of oil each day. Weight has dropped by 7kg in 5 weeks.

fasting level today 5.8.
 

A double win then - bg and weight loss. Well done that’s great.
