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

[hankjam]

Woke with a pounding heart after a nightmare where someone was throwing spiders at me. Surprisingly fbg was 5.4 I expected sky high.

Nightmares.... spiders, not a good combo.... and relax.

I am remembering a lot of my dreams at the moment, some of which are recurring mares and wake up sure the bad things that happened are real and the events took place 25 years ago.... not a good way to start the day.

Hug for the nightmare but winner for the bloods.

4.4 for me

Still battling bloods but today woke up to a 5.4 so yah! Trying different things usually have a handful of nuts during the day for the fibre but cut them out yesterday so wonder if these could be the problem I know carbs can easily creep up with them. Will keep off them to see if bloods continue to show better results. Stay safe folks.

6.1 this morning

I need to get myself back into LC routine again been overindulging in more carbs and sweets especially at night time its combination of Christmas left over sweets/chocolate and my nemesis ^bread^ and other triggers that also get me going as well...

That sounds so like me esp with the bread .

7.5 this am so hopefully heading in the right direction ..if only very slowly . Did have a full night's sleep with probably helped.

Thanks for the hugs and yay for the 5.4 it’s such a relief to see a number like that isn’t it?
I agree that nuts can be quite hard to portion control. Even if I weigh them out I usually eat a few from the bag while I’m dong it!!

Thanks for the hugs @ziggy_w
@PenguinMum thank you too, and please accept one in return for your number this morning. I hope FIsh Finger Fursday helps to bring it down
Thank you too @hankjam I hope the weather improves for you soon.

Late again today to post... have had a hectic day with an early start. Anyway, my FBG was 5.2 today.

Again the average so far has been 5.3 but around similar time as yesterday I had the tea with inulin syrup and about the same time as yesterday BG went to higher numbers all the way to 7.3 although right now it is down to 6.

Now today is my third day in fasting and am approx 66 hours into fasting at this moment so where can the sugar come from in the blood stream - I therefore am concluding this has to do with inulin which is making liver dump stored fat into blood stream. I have now a decision to make - should I continue experimenting with inulin or stop it until 09th Feb when my HbA1C is scheduled. Decisions Decisions....

Have a wonderful rest of the day.

Hello all,

Up early for an all-day Zoom workshop. Tested two times this morning (4.9 and 4.7) and am taking the arithmetic mean, which is 4.8.

Have a great day everyone.

Woke up to a 3.6 this morning. Oops ! Had about 3 glucose tablets throughout the night as well. Should really have also had a longer acting carbohydrate as well.? Whoever said living with diabetes is like going on a rollercoaster had it spot on. LOL

 

[hankjam]

6.0
PCa review this morning, going to have to be better with my carbs......
Have a good Friday.

5.5 for me

 

[DJC3]

5.3 today. Another surprisingly acceptable number after yet another nightmare, no spiders this time though thankfully.
@ziggy_w good luck with your all day zoom workshop, I’d imagine you’ll need a couple of glasses of red after that!

 

[Andydragon]

4.8 today, still not feeling totally right but it’s okay so far, hopefully just a cold rather than COVID

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. 6.5 again a bit too high even for Fish Finger Firsday! Not the best night’s sleep after watching the very silly Death in Paradise. @DJC3 great score again. @ziggy_w good luck with the all day zoom!

4.8 this morning. Have a great day.

FBG 5.6 this morning.

I've raked out an old laptop which has a dicey keyboard. Should really do a repair but as this is an old windows 7 machine, hardly seems worth it. That said I've plugged in an external keyboard and seem to be good to go as a temporary measure.
