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


5.8 this morning but feeling dizzy and unable to head into work (luckily I can WFH if I’m feeling better by 8:30).

Heart was a little fast too but has dropped down to numbers closer to normal.

May be unrelated to diabetes & Metformin (exercised as normal this morning but it’s pretty hot today) but contacting my diabetic nurse this morning just in case.
 
Take care. Hope all is well later.
 
Yes, its all a bit confusing. Same with HbA1c,with that, my Tee2 always indicates a better result than I achieve. Then again half the time I forget to test.

Maybe we should all be checking our glucose levels after going to the loo, would make an interesting thread, but then again, maybe too much information LOL.
 
All clear from the Docs then ? - excellent news. Personal Trainer? We are not worthy

No, haven’t had OPD appointment through yet. Tbh I’ve no idea when or how I’ll find out results but for now I’m assuming no news is good news. I can’t drive until I get DVLA thumbs up but otherwise I’ll just try to be sensible!
PT is a lovely encouraging chap, I do need the motivation to get moving sometimes.
 
Good morning!!! 4.5 today. Eating day so this is bound to go up.

Tbh I’ve no idea when or how I’ll find out results

I wonder if you know about the official NHS app (playstore link). I have been using it and on the app I can see all my test results, appointments etc.



Hope this helps.

Have a great day everyone.
 

No I didn’t know about this, thank you! It’s not the same as the ‘patient access’ system is it? My previous GP surgery put all notes and results on there for people to access electronically, but they don’t use it here. I’ll investigate this later on. Much appreciated @nutribolt .
 
Sad 6.3 this morning after a measly 1500 Cals and 8 g carbs yesterday I was hoping for better.
I’m wondering if steak for dinner is the issue as I’m rarely below 6 the morning after steak. I was happily trundling along in the 5s all day but 3 hrs after dinner Libre showed a sudden increase and didn’t drop much all night. Hmm.
 
Had a bit of a blip namely bread and pasta giving me a row of 7's ...7.1 on Sunday 7.9 Monday and 7 yesterday .Much better this morning with a 6 woohoo .
