Stabbo has me pegged at 5.3 today which is a poor return for LC woe IMHO but in the circs it may be better than it appears. #kneegate improved with naproxen and tea,tea,tea. 2 granddaughters for the price of one today and the jewel in the crown - grandson- after school

@mojo37 , don’tget despondent. Exercise always increses my BG fora couple of hours, after. Almost makes me want to justify being a couch potato, but not agood choice as joints seize up if I don’t keep moving. Positive of exercise is thar, for me, the increse in endorphins gives a feeling of wellbeing, and I am not losing much muscle mass as I age. Also with exercise, and watching carb intake, overall average BG is reducing.

Fasting today 5.4.

Hello, @Babs51, and welcome back. prediabetic for 15 years is a long time to remain below diabetic range. Well done. How have you managed that? Diet? Meds?
Are you testing regularly? Sorry lots of questions before we can suggest ways to help.

Not checked mine in a while. 5.5 this morning. Have been reintroducing some carbs slowly after initial low carb diet so will need to monitor more to see which carbs affect my blood sugar more.

5.6 this morning. Thought it’d be higher after being up with a stomach ache half the night.

Morning. 5.9 after fishfinger Thursday and a week of horrible BGs generally. @ianpspurs hug for the knee pain and @DJC3 great fbg again marred by the tummy ache so big hug for that. Gold medals to those in their range and bronze to those of us trying to be. Happy Friday.
