Thanks for goodwishes and encouragement, folks.

Saturday fasting 6.2 rum night cap , Friday.
Sunday 5.5 , double rum night cap Saturday
I like this experiment.

Another 5.2 today

4.4 today. Have a great day everyone

4.7 on Libre which rarely bears any resemblance to the actual result. @ianpspurs I find Libre markedly different ( up to 2 mmol) in the mornings. I wonder if it might be due to hydration. It tends to get closer to the mark later in the day.

5.8 for me

Morning All. 6.4 disappointing after heavy gardening and careful eating yesterday. Ho hum.

Extremely disrupted nights sleep, so expected higher than the actual 6.6 reading when I got up properly. I'll definitely take that. Nothing in the 7's plus for 37 days and counting, so I'll be taking that definitely.

7.4 this morning!
Definitely a rollercoaster. Even had a 9.5 reading before bed. Put it down as a spike due to 4 pretzels (the crisp kind, not the soft dough one). You live and learn eh.
Have a good day everyone

Janice was known to say "O'ill give it foive" so did Swipey today. @DJC3 the dehydration is a good shout. @PenguinMum hug for the result fbg but your A1c is fine so move on. @bellapodus great attitude. @garyclark82 yay for 37 days and counting.
Edited: It isn't a test, it is a snapshot of the "current state of play." My bad for implying it is a test.

7.6 this morning. When I got up to get ready for work.

The A1c is only half the story though if even that. Its the peaks that do the damage.

6.7 yesterday and a better number this am with 5.8 .

Hello all,

Befind again, so posting fbg for the last four days: 5.7, 5.9, 5.6, 5.9 (a bit higher than I would ideally like, so definitely have to get back to exercising).

@PenguinMum -- Hugs for the eye treatment. Hope you are feeling better.
@DJC3 -- Congrats on your daughter's graduation. Sounds as if you all had a fun day.
@Kiwigal -- Welcome to the thread.

5.0, happy with that

Had forgotten I had my flu jab little over a week ago. That may well explained my recent spate of higher than usual (for me)
Amazing all these things that interact
