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

So been performing "the pill experiment" on the advise of my consultant over the weekend as my HBA1c was down so much (in the 30s, down from 131), with a morning 4U of basal and 1000mg Metformin with breakfast and dinner.

This morning's fasting bloods: 5.9 :)

We're extending the experiment for the week but it's looking good. I'm in the 5s in the morning and hi 6s to low 7s by bed with no NovoRapid. Eating around 100g carbs a day (so 30,30,40 roughly).

The care team says to keep the bolas around so I can be flexible (so have the occasional meal out with friends, or to cover the cruise I'm on in July) but day to day I get to drop it. :)

Amazing progress. Delighted for you. Enjoy the cruise.
 
Good morning

I'm a bit higher this morning 7.7 but I did have some dark chocolate and a lot more fruit yesterday.

I do my trulicity injection today so I'm hoping it will balance out once I've ate something, I do suffer bloating but it's much better ive cut out bread that's the worst ive felt on them.

3 pounds off when I weighed this morning too, so happy monday all xxx

Celebrate every success.
 
5.2 this morning. Not even going to say what libby libre gave me. Thought it was bedding in as yesterday morning it was only around .5 higher, by evening we were back to it showing over a whole point out, this morning, well wow! (might have been due to my lying on my arm) 5 mins later tried again and that showed 5.7, so looks like were back to being around .5 higher. Further observation required.
 
Good morning all. Another 5 Ss day for which I thank God. Initial 4.3 but 10 mins of Dawnybabe/Foot on Floor up to 4.7 (all Swipey readings.) Cooler last night so duvet back on and less sleep - not my environment when covered. @Ryhia interesting how Libby is higher for you and I assume mine is always 2 lower than Stabbo and 3 lower than A1c. Anyone else ever Swiped after the Loo? - monster rise for a while on my body.
