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

Hi @katereiki and welcome. Strage but true. My BG levels can raise by a full 2 points after exercise, even though lately I am doing nothing more than gentle walks. Tends to level out though. Always highest first thing in the morning.
 
5.1 this morning after my eating day. Not so bad at all and with today being a fasting day, BG will be behaving anyway.

Based on my observations on experimentation with inulin, I have concluded it must be doing something that matches the claim that it aids with loss of visceral fat but in my case every time I take it in my tea it does result in BG going slightly up so I have decided to not mess with it until after my HbA1c due on 09/02. I am convinced it does good things inside but I do want to see an encouraging result on HbA1c - it will likely have a very strong impact on my motivation.

@DJC3 - Thanks for the kind words. Reporting on this forum everyday partly fuels my drive to keep going. The support here is phenomenal. I even get worried when I don't see update from someone regular like @ianpspurs - I hope all is good with him.

Have a wonderful day everyone.

I’m fine thanks. Just needs a bit of insulin fine tuning, that’s all. Also depends on what you had to eat the previous night. No two days are ever the same.

A real rollercoaster! Glad you are ok.
 
7 mmol/L today

But think its because I'm still dealing with gum pain luckily got in to see a dentist yesterday not who normally see but at same clinic. X-ray shows no abscess or infection thank goodness! But he believes maybe the crown and the bite but concerned as it's been 6 months since had it fitted. So he reshaped crown and now it's wait and see over the week. Hopefully settles down otherwise might be rootcanal therapy and new crown refitted been told to eat only soft foods

I told the dentist how I've been rinsing my mouth with a very old opened bottle of whisky honestly don't know how old it is but makes a good mouth rinse my dentist laughed and said I can continue this treatment
 
6.8 Up Down Up Down.... This, and Lockdown, is really challenging my sense of humour. A Bright light? Oh yes: 1700 fixed penalty notices handed out by London Transport Police to “people” not wearing Masks. This I like.
