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

When I asked one of the Gps at my surgery what was better to have Low blood sugar or high cholesterol, (my cholesterol is really high and I don't want to take statins) he basically said that low blood sugar is much better and that whilst they would recommend LDL lowering medication if I didn't want to take it, it was up to me. I hope that your cholesterol is fine, I will be routing for you.
 
Hello again everyone. I am back with a very pleasing 7.1 to report this morning. I am getting a jump start on Lent and trying to be more disciplined. If I can continue with good FBGs over the next week, then I can give myself a meaty feast on Shrove Tuesday and try to do even better in the following weeks. Low Carb Lent. Wish me well.
 
Hey great result and what a good idea ...Low Carb Lent! I hate pancakes so a meaty feast it is then.
 
5.7 today at 9am which I will take as better than the last week or so of two 6.5s and two 8.0s and a 6.9 in there although these were tested after 11am. Not to mention I'm over doing the fruit and other foods I'm finding it hard to get back to better choices some days since Xmas.
