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

[hankjam]

5.9
Back into the routine, up at 05:45, test, exercises, cup of tea, make the fire, shower....
day continues...
tempted by some grapefruit.... but not yet.

5.3 for me

 

[DJC3]

6.1 after another day of zero carb. I’d hoped for better

 

[Estragon]

6.3 Well, I see this as proof positive that I’m achieving low and sustaining lowering fasting numbers in the face of Zombie Carbostiens: Yesterday - Breakfast Corn on the Cob; two slices of Lemon drizzle cake and evening meal of a baked Spud and cheese. In general and from 25th December I’ve “flirted” with the Zombie Carbostiens and have hit bumps in the road, but now, I feel I’m looking good for ‘21.

4.7 on Swipey IDK if good or bad . @DJC3 "I’d hoped for better" - Voldemort to Neville L? - reading isn't that bad..

Good morning all.

Fasting levels were 5.2 yesterday and 4.6 today (after some wine last night).

@Ryhia -- Hugs for the unexplained higher levels lately.
@PenguinMum and @DJC3 -- Also a big hug from me. So very frustrating.

Morning All. 6.7 so this is going to take a while. @DJC3 hug for the unfairness of it all. @ziggy_w thanks.

 

[JFWinstone]

7.6

 

[Andydragon]

A not so good 6.6 today but onwards and upwards!

Nice of you to say, but I know you wouldn’t be happy with it either.
I like the L? Is that in case of censorship?

Yes I think it will take a while. Underlying anxiety doesn’t help either as we know. Sending hugs back to you, and thanks to @ziggy_w also.

@Gwynn run hands under warm water, then rub them vigotously on towel may help to get blood to fingertipsvready for the successful piercing

Good morning all.

Woke up early today due to feeling hungry. Tested and levels were 4.3.

 

[Estragon]

8.1 - And the Culprits were? Pasta, Banana, Cheese Puffs and Satsuma. Oh yeah, and I’m a Diabetic! Nearly forgot that.
