5.3 this morning.
Then decided to have a breakfast today, so had some Greek yogurt with blueberries and chia/flaxseed mix added.
Only 5.8 two hours after so I'm happy

5.4 this morning. Absolutely delighted, and even more delighted with my three month review figures. Posted elsewhere about that but punching the air happy today

9.1 this morning.
Things are slowly returning to normal after my DKA journey last week.

Today doing some physical work, clearing my sister’s lean-to, they’re DownSizing to a flat. Happens.

Yeah, same here, until I remember the name of the Forum I’m posting on. PS, I really like your Augustine quote.
Fantastic! Well done.

Well surely this is crazy!
4.8 when I broke my fast at 12.45 but then I actually had a Galaxy chocolate cookie biscuit (testing) and about five or six nuts. I just retested (twice!) and it is 4.5. By the way I didn't enjoy the cookie and won't be having any more of them. They were bought for my daughter

Hello all,
Busy day yesterday, so didn't get a chance to post. Fasting levels were 5.2 yesterday and 5.8 today. Need to get back to exercising more (and maybe eating less).
Thanks all for the welcome back, @DJC3, @ianpspurs, @karen8967, @PenguinMum. I have missed you all.
@ianpspurs -- glad to hear your MIL is off oxygen. Hope she'll consistently get better from here on.
@ultradad -- Consistently great fasting levels -- wonderful achievement.
@garyclark82 -- Super HbA1c results. Really well done.
@DJC3 -- How's life been treating you? For me, yet another semester of Zoom unfortunately. By the end of this semester, students will been having online instructions for two years (which for most of them entails -- continuing to live at home, never having met their co-students and having made new friends, never having attended student parties, and having missed out on all the other stuff that goes along with being away from home for the first time.) It's definitely not a great time to be young.
