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

[coby]

5.0 exactly this morning which was a nice surprise!
I think it's because I didn't eat until after 3pm yesterday, but it's still encouraging

 

[coby]

5.7 for me

It's lovely getting in the five range isn't it

But I don't look anywhere near my true age! I come from a family with very young genes

 

[coby]

Definitely

Second was a dud strip. Go with the first!

Good morning to all.
My FBG was 5 at 9.00 am.
I have had a Booster vaccine dose of
Pfizer two days ago. It seems it has not effected my glucose levels.

I had Astrazeneca and felt awful and had raised Bg .

I’m here, every Matinee, live in the Elsoldo Hawaii Cocktail Lounge.

6.4 yesterday and a slightly better 6.1 today( happish) with both number considering I keep falling off the low ( ish ) carb wagon

 

[SuNuman]

Winner for the number and winner for finding a snack that you like and didn't raise ur glucose levels .

Thank you. X

This morning I was 6.4. Last night - hangs head in shame - I had pizza. Papa John’s ; was absolutely beautiful. I was too scared to test 2 hours after. I was just sick of eating food I dislike ; but I think I needed that to b on it again. X

Is it ok for a 68 year old to wear them - got a pair on as we speak.

@coby young genes is probably the only genetic trait I can thank my mum for, that and skinny legs for my skinny jeans. Just hope that the familys' long life gene is available to me as well.

You look 20 years younger and they really suit you. We must stay on topic. Confidence, being comfortable in your own skin, plays a huge part in fbg and overall management.

I have 5.2 fasting
and my hba1c is 57
I am doubting my glucose meter. Is this normal or you think I should get another test done for HBA1C

Hi @kiran1122, welcome aboard. OK, what or where do you think is wrong with your numbers?
