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

[Estragon]

Befind again,

I can’t tell you how much I’m in awe of your discipline. You’re an inspiration to us all. You’ll get back down there again, I’m certain. Meanwhile…..

7.9 - The Stubborn-Sevens. Went to bed on a 6.9.

5.5 for me

5.4 on Libre. Test strips are on their way apparently.
Good to see you back again @ziggy_w but hugs for the slightly higher than usual fbg. Getting back in the exercise groove is hard after a break isn’t it? I’ve got my Hiit session with my PT today - he was away last week and I’m dreading getting back to it today. I promised myself I would do a few sessions at home in between, but of course I haven’t!

Good morning chums. Today's snapshot suggested by Swipey was 4.8 here. Good, bad or ugly it ain't gonna change now. Enjoy the HIIT @DJC3 - I genuinely mean enjoy. I'm off to a physio tomorrow hoping for a gym referral (operation would be ideal) since turning the converted garage here into a gym (££££s) seems to be stuck in a queue. HIIT sessions upstairs spooked Julie and dogs.

Morning All. 6.0 today so better. Thanks @ziggy_w eye is always fine the day after. I’m sure you will get back to numbers you like when you get time to exercise.
Happy Tuesday All.

4.4 today. Have a great day all

 

[DJC3]

5.5, I think that’s my lowest fasting number so far, something is working

Yay! Well done!

 

[JohnEGreen]

4.1 today.

 

[ianpspurs]

4.1 today.

Guessing that's on the low side for you. We all have our own "sweet spot". Take care.

 

[JohnEGreen]

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

I had my flu jab last week and it made me sick as a dog for several days, with all the previous flu jabs I have had I never had much of a reaction to them this time was different don't know if it was the covid jabs I have had or if they have changed the flu jab in some way. So I think you may be correct in thinking your anomalous reading are connected to the jab.

Yes a bit lower than I like but have had a coffee with milk and it's come up to 4.6 now and that's a bit better

 

[bellapodus]

6.4
Had a 4.6 before bed so can see the DP in action!

Bloods were 6.0 this morning after a sleep in.

5.4 this morning even though I had a poor sleep ( again ) and I had a snack of apple and peanut butter at 4am . Maybe that's what I need food in the early hrs lol . Either way well pleased .

7.7 this morning. It was an overnight fast as had blood test this morning fast glucose test and Hba1c and other blood test.

Thank you for the welcome. It is an new journey to be diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes few months ago. (Will be asking my doctor to do GAD test next for autoimmune - esp autoimmune disease runs in the family.)

5.3 today. Just tested positive for Covid-19 on a lateral flow. I've booked a PCR. Fingers crossed it's wrong.

Best wishes, thoughts and prayers, fingers crossed - whatever you like just hope it is a false alarm or just easily dealt with.

First time posting and first fast blood this morning is 7.5 so high. What is the best way to start tackling this. I have read a bit about the liver dump? All my other readings have been fine. Pre lunch was 5.4. Learning loads
