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

Morning all, summer schummer. :sour: Flat 5 on Swipey:meh: @Estragon :woot::woot: for fbg and immense salad. Hug for people not being near a Waitrose. Bit of a pain driving the Range Rover 10 miles but hopefully that is what levelling up means:angelic:Some very small people in Newmarket, wonder if the water is orf?:)

Likely the beans I miss them! There are some good sausages Waitrose 1 and I think Sainsburys Taste the Difference pack of 12 are same recipe they are 1.1g carbs per sausage and very nice. Do you like fried mushrooms they are nice addition. When on hols I have s rambled egg, fried mushrooms and 1 tomato as a treat brekkie.
 
7.6 this morning. Had my pneumoccoccol vaccine yesterday, on top of feeling a bit under the weather. It has absolutely knocked me for six so not surprised.
 
Hi. I’m sooo happy. 5.7. Have been normally high end of 6 - 2 metformin tabs a day from yesterday. Plus I’m now 12 5 (2lb dropped off). Yay!!!!! X.

No they don’t, I thought they would when I first started , but they always seem to rise by about 1.2-1.3 after running.

I always run having fasted overnight ,

I was 6.4 at 0300 , 6.9 at 0800 and 8.2 after 3.6k this morning as an example.
