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

 
6.7 Both shoulders ache. Have a cold. Dry mouth. Sleep was rubbish. And I want to eat Porridge - never ever thought I’d say that....
 
6.1 at 3:25am. Went back to sleep.
5.8 at 6:30am . Went back to sleep.
5.5 at 8:30am. Decided it was time for breakfast.
I am claiming the 5.5 today.
 
I'm feeling pleased with myself today because yesterday my BG was 6.4 - a bit high for me as I try to keep it at 6.0 or less. I ate carefully yesterday and this morning it's 5.4! I was surprised because I didn't have much physical activity - just a short walk.

I am type 2 in remission which I manage without medication.
 
I really needed your humour today- I really did. Thank you.
Well, give yourself a duvet day. I gave myself a duvet fortnight with my recent cold. I guess I have always been a bit self indulgent.
I also made ‘porrige’ with coconut flour, ground almonds and coconut milk. It hit the spot.
In view of the topic for this thread, I add that my BG levels were raised in the mornings of my recent cold, but levelled out during the day.
