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

Nasty 9 again had the results of my blood test as expected a rise in my HbA1c now 66 which is highest its been . Rest of results all good so that's good . Now to get my carbs in control :rolleyes: I thought 66 was that higest that it had been but it was 69 a few yrs ago .

Steady fall from 6.2 to 5.4 over past few days. I did a 90min Saturday bike ride today & ate an oat cake at about 60 mins & didn’t spike after I finished like I normally do. I sort of care about spiking and sort of don’t. If it’s this easy for me to avoid then I’m going to roll with it, also I was able to sustain intensity longer. Run out of strips so no more experiments! @ziggy_w that’s hilarious I now fee a lot better about prioritising cycling over cleaning good luck with your purge day have a great weekend everyone

This has been an unbelievably hard time for everyone so glad all other results good and onwards and upwards, think I mean downwards.

Morning all. Libre is poorly - Er 3s and Er 9s interspersed with Skyscraper numbers and is going back to Abbott but waste not want not I checked and it was 5.4. Maybe 2 hrs later than usual and quite possible. Congratulations on holding the line in trying times with all that blood work @nutribolt. I hope you find a swimming pal @DJC3 and enjoy your break. Thanks for the kind wishes @ziggy_w and yay for being back in 4 land. Take the Libre's 5 @PenguinMum. Missed a few folk - sorry.

Thanks again Ian. What is it with Libre what a diva!
 
So, 4.25 dawned and my body decreed I awake, arise (or be forever fallen) Treated a couple of Tee 2 strips to some blood - 5.3. Unusual to have 2, on different hands, the same but meh. Sub 5.6 threshold so hunky dory - maybe baby?. It's a lark this T2 control via diet. If I live to be as old as Methuselah (the person, not the wine consumption in parts of the west country;)) I'll never understand it.

Morning All 6.6 at 0745. Mr Libre agreed but he told me if I had got up at 0630 I would have been firmly in the 5s. A trend is occurring. I could set the clock for 0630 do a finger prick and go back to sleep but I am not going to do it. Have a good Sunday All and try and stay dry.
