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

4.3. It's snowing.

 

Good Morning All.

4.0 at 6.30 AM. Completely expected number given it was fasting day yesterday.

@ziggy_w Thanks for taking the time to explain the concept. The carb count going negative used to confuse me but I used to put it down to something technical I might not know and what you explained makes so much sense and it does prove that it was down to something technical that I didn't know . It does change the net carb calculation for some of the stuff I have been calculating but I guess my strict fasting regime may have been compensating for relatively higher intake of carbs than I was calculating. In all I guess I might have still been having carbs below or around 50gms a day on the days I do eat which since Dec'20 totals to about 20 days making the daily average of last 53 days to about 19gms a day. Once again many thanks for explaining this.

 

4.3 for me

 

5.2 this morning...but late at 10am

I woke up at 6am but went back to bed as I was knackered.

Thanks @ziggy_w I'm a bit of a loner but even I was having trouble with not seeing anyone for 4 months

Had a naughty cereal for breakfast, wanted to check what levels it takes me to in 2 hours because I've never done that before, in an experimental stage of figuring out my diet going forward and you don't know until you try

 

9.3 this am ...with a good sleep but I did indulge in Indian takeaway so entirely my own fault

 

6.7 yesterday and 6.3 today.

 

Double winner one for the bloods and one for getting out of jail free- how is your partner doing?

 

5.4 this morning.

 

3.7 fasted

 

You ok at that level?

 

7.1 Went to bed on 6.2; Lousy night’s sleep - woke at 2am then got up at 3am - rubbish. Also, yesterday ate Parsnip, Small Roast potato and half a banana. Looking for better today. Generally I’m averaging 6.6 A1c. Aim this year? Knock backdown to 5s with an average of 5.5 . Oh yeah, and better sleeping patterns.

 

Good morning all,

4.6 today.

@nutribolt -- Your bread comes in still pretty low carb at less than 10g of carbs per 100g -- so well done. As you hardly see a rise in blood sugars, this is a winner.

 

A 5.0 this very frosty/cold morning

 

4.7 today

 

Morning All. 5.4 which is a relief because Libre showed I shot up from the 4s to the high 6s between 3 and 4am. Wasnt a great sleep before then with anxious dreams. @Estragon I am discovering that poor sleep is affecting me more than what I eat these days which is a kind of relief because I was trying hard with food. Good luck to you.

 

Poor sleep, yeah makes me grumpier than normal too. So you can confirm that this does have a bad effect on A1c. Thanks for the Good Luck wishes.

 

4.3 for me

 

6.0 today. Haven’t posted for a few days but it’s been in that region most of the time.
