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

7.2 this morning. Not as good as yesterday, but good on average. I still worry about hypos with my insulin (which I have just started taking again) so am reluctant to inject as much as I need to sometimes. I did go down to 4 yesterday (during the day), which makes me feel ill, and can't concentrate, as I am used to it being much higher than that, so it affected my regieme for the rest of the day. Went to bed at 5.2, woke up at 7.2.

 

Thanks @DJC3 it was pretty tough, haven't taken exams for 20 years. Results due in July, so a while off.

 

I was doing the same thing, just about eating carnivore every day for quickness. Bloods were fairly ok but on the high side of what I like to see; hovering around low 6s high 5s during the day. Last couple of days I have have reduced my protein considerably had broccoli and spinach cheese bake the first day and yesterday it was leek and mushroom cheese bake. Likely my cholesterol will be shooting for the stars as both are made with cream, butter and cheese, but I don't care - bloods were 4.7 at lunchtime. - definitely an improvement - a conundrum and always perplexing.

 

Slept in a bit today so it was 7.2 at 8.45. 6.5 yesterday at 7.30, amazing how quickly it rises in the morning if I don't hit the insulin fast! Lovely here with no rain, off out on the bike to go and see a friend and sit in her garden putting the world to rights. Hope everyone is having a good bank holiday weekend.

 

Thank you

 

6.4 this morning I'm not going to say any more in case I jinx my numbers !

 

7.3 at 10:00 this morning , hope it will be better tomorrow

 

7.2 last two mornings. I'm still taking 30mg diamcron my 2 hour BGL 6.8 and and 5.7 that's even eating buttered sourdough bread with my eggs I scrambled with cream. Except my morning BSL levels are still high for my liking.

 

You should be very proud of yourself.

 

Yes please, I’d be happy with that.

 

6.3 this morning Bah!
I’d better go back and read that old cookery book dietary advice again. Thanks for moving the thread @Andydragon

 

6.8 - Yup, back to taking-up residency in the “Land o’ The Stickies”. I’m happy !

 

Morning All. 6.3 which was what I was at 7pm before supper after a salad lunch and a 4 mile walk. Confused dot com!

 

5.3 for me

 

4.7 this morning so seem to be getting back on track

 

Hi There, my blood sugars are normally between 4 & 6 in a morning. This morning i was 5.4 which is fine for me.

It worked well as a sort of 'first thread to check' each morning and post to.

I'll start.

This morning was a 5.6mmol for me. That's about normal for me

What about you?[/QUOTE]
