Hello all,

@ert -- Hugs for not feeling well due to vaccine trial.
@PenguinMum -- Hugs for the wonky blood sugars.

Fasting blood sugars for yesterday were 5.2 and for today 4.8.

5.7 today, hope you are feeling ok now @ert and you are back to normal @PenguinMum.
@ziggy_w back in the 4s! Well done for your consistency. Was that just a random ( but still excellent) five yesterday or did you do a bit more exercise to get back to your usual numbers?

Thanks for asking. Actually had a spell of not exercising for three days and saw fasting levels slowly start drifting upwards. Plus there was one day of too many calories (+600 over daily requirement) and carbs (over 50g) the day before yesterday -- actually was a bit surprised that the outcome wasn't any worse than it was.

Really well done on your fasting levels yesterday, @DJC3.

Hello, @AhmadGhanem , and welcome.
5.7 fasting would be okfor many of us.
What type of diabetes are you living with, and how is it treated?

Mine was 6.0 today, and that does not feel ok. Though I know that eating chopped dates as a snack late ladt night was likely to be the cause. So late snacking over with. Snacking is never good for me, even though it does feel good at the time.

4.9 this morning. Don't know where the numbers are coming or why, low 4s during the day. Forlorn hope I know but wish I could keep the numbers this low all the time.

6.9 this morning, which is the lowest FBG number I've had in awhile. I guess my FBG was trying to blend with the outside temperature, which was 29F at the time (1.6C, now "warmed" up to 36F/2C). If eating a brownie at suppertime will get me 6s the next morning, well, bring on the (occasional) brownie!
