Good morning all. 5.8 or 5.0 depending on the bit of technology used. Either is fine. Have a good day.
@Ryhia I hope you are feeling a bit better today

Had a medicinal single malt last night (maybe I was in good company?) then spoiled things by gorging on walnuts late last night as alcohol gives me the munchies. FBG 6.3 this morning. Could have been much worse, bloods were 6.9 before supper yesterday. Didn't bother testing 2hrs later..

Thank you, I don't actually feel too bad, seems like a mild cold, perhaps sinus and a bit of a stomach upset. Just a bit frustrated with the bloods staying higher throughout the day. Bloods stayed normal when I had a cold in January so it is a bit of a puzzle.

Hello mates,
At a couple of the other forums I've frequented there was a thread like this one where we all sorta checked in each day, with our first cup of coffee or tea, and reported our fasting or waking blood glucose level and some short comment about whether we're ok with it or if not - why not?...

It worked well as a sort of 'first thread to check' each morning and post to.

I'll start.

This morning was a 5.6mmol for me. That's about normal for me

What about you?

I haven't checked my BS for a while, but checked it last night, one hour after a meal. It was 6.7 which I think was ok. Checked it first thing this morning and it was 7.4. I expected it to be lower. Last Blood test GP was in May and was 8.2. I think I need to work on getting it a little lower.

My fasting BS this morning was 7.4. It has been much higher than that, at one time up to 9.8. I would like to get it below 6.

Hope you feel better soon, @Ryhia . Though , without wishing to alarm you, perhaps a Covid test needed?

5.4 this morning. Just decided to replicate the rum experiment to see if results will be same tomorrow morning.
Hence the dodgy typos.
Or perhaps the typing is better than usual? Not entirely sure.
Stay safe and well folks.

4.6 today. Going to drop the injection

 

[DJC3]

Surprising 6.0 this morning. No idea why, stayed in 4s and 5s all day yesterday. Oh well.

 

[karen8967]

5.3 for me

5.9 this morning. Feeling a little better. Don't think its related to anything serious and not affecting my chest so will just wait it out. Thanks for the "hugs" and the good wishes.

 

[PenguinMum]

Missed posting due to internet issues but was 6.0 this morning. @Tony222 FBG is challenging ino so keep at it and it will get better. @Ryhia glad you’re feeling better, horrible to be unwell and unable to control your BG as usual.

Think I feel too "well" for it to be Covid plus I make sure that take all possible precautions if I am out and about, that said the area where I live is the third worst area for Covid in our "locked down" town so I am keeping a watching brief.
