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

4.9

It took several attempts to get any blood at all. Hands were warm, but no blood. In the end I had to put the lancet setting to 5. Usually 3 will do. Even then it was like drawing blood from a stone.

Do any of you struggle to get blood in the mornings. If so what do you do about it.
Were you dehydrated because that can make a difference .
 
5.9 this morning First day in my new job so I’m happy to have a 5 of any description as I’m a bit nervous about it.
Congratulations and good luck with the new job! I am sure you will be great at it x
 
Welcome @RachelK. My fbg was 5.4 after the roast beef and Yorkshire. Stayed in the low 4s from about 4.00 pm - mealtime - to 3.30 - 4.45 am - trend wake up. Exercise bike session, glass of red with meal and double bourbon contained the spike well enough.

Thank you for the welcome!

This morning I had an awesome reading of 5 but I have essentially been doing keto in combination with walking 2+hrs a day to get that.
