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

Another 9 ...well nearly double figures so not good at all 9.9 haven't seen these fbg in awhile so something is amiss
 

Good news ... that black thing has come off just now all by itself. I read a lot about it and looks like its called chalaziaon and it becomes black when it has opened and it comes out. Sometimes it comes off by itself which happened in my case qnd sometimes it needs to be surgically removed. Big sigh of relief.

Also just felt that my finger prick strips were messed up so got a new box and hey presto the reading 2 hours after dinner was 6.3 while old strip was showing 8 and libre was showing 6.6...so the old strips box has gone to the bin...

5.3 via Swipey. Accurate? - probs not; Dangerous? likewise. Sub-optimal - completely. The bigger problem is the dogs wrecked Julie's favourite winter boots (good job I was about well before 5.00) and I will find it almost impossible to resist "I told you to wait before getting them/now you know how I felt about my Timberland boat shoes back in the day".
