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

Take care, that is quite a range. Are you eating LC.

Hi. Yes - I am good at sticking to low carb ( <20g per day). I am however getting used to my insulin. I should really be there by now, after being on insulin for over 6 years, but now my blood sugars are in a much better range than what they were (my lowest hba1c over last 6 years is 95, with the rest being > 100, but I am hoping my next one would be < 50). Time will tell!
 
5.1 this morning.

Yesterday I had an issue taking my last bolas injection where after removing the needle it was pooled on my skin (assuming I managed to hit a fatty lump or something that wouldn’t absorb the liquid).

Not knowing how much if any my body had absorbed I decided to check later and correct if needed.

At bed time I was at 6.9 which is a little high for me but not totally out of range so just decided to go with it.

Took my rather meagre 8 units of basal and went to bed, then 5.1 then I got up.

Been lowering my basal for a couple of weeks trying to dial it in and starting to think I don’t need Basal at all...
 
6.6 - Better than yesterday. Went to bed on a 5.6. Content with these figures. Full Sunshine here in London, Garden Day for me.
 
How quickly does June come once one becomes a wrinkly? Hug for the bolus issue @DisFanJen. Good work sticking with LC @992947x. i'm glad your fbg is closer to what you want @PenguinMum. @Estragon enjoy the garden and London sun. @DJC3 yay for the fbg after your recent tribulations. Swipey figured 4.6 would be an acceptable spin on events. Blue polo shirt and camel? shorts combo as likely as mackerel salad to do that. Warm, shorts and polos, lawns to cut, salad day in day out ok by my boss ,Test Match tomorrow - optimal for me. Now or never for LC to work
 
5.8 this morning - thought it would be a lot higher. I am visiting family this week and was given Bolognese with edamame pasta for supper. I haven't tried edamame pasta before so didn't know how my bloods would react. Seems to be ok but to be honest I wasn't enamoured of the taste, would have much preferred my usual dollop of spinach.
 
5.4 today
@Ryhia was that edemame pasta from Lidl/Aldi? I’ve tried that and have to agree with you. It’s very low carb but quite a distinctive taste and texture. It needs a powerful sauce to cope with it.
 
Hug for the self inflicted higher number @PenguinMum. Yay for the comfort zone level @DJC3. 4.9 on Swipey here - black polo and grey shorts probable cause. Edemame pasta? I like edemame but a low carb pasta sauce I would eat doesn't exist. Sun. shorts (no socks) salad, Test Match and granddaughter today. Numbers, schumbers.
