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

7 am = 6.1
But the rest of the day has been up and down this week.(as high as 10.1)
Exercise, water , sensible eating. I am trying. Honest.
 
Hi there and good morning Here are my BGs for this morning:

6.1 Fasting
Joghurt and rasperries for breakfast.
30 mins low intensity exercise as recommended by my Endo - first time I have done it and she told me to work up to 45 mins.
6.1 @ 2 hours
 
Thanks Didie

The doc's been fantastic - my post breakfast reading was 23.8, that was 3 hours later! She also checked my sugars and I was at the highest end of the spectrum, no Ketones though and no signs of infection (I'll need to read up on that...).

So waiting for a call (she's going to speak to the Diabetologist for guidance) - I won't go further as I don't want to hijack this thread - but there's further details and updates via another topic I posted in the discussions forum re: post op readings

If it wasn't for the meter nothing I'm feeling would have made me go the doc....and then what? Rushed to A&E? I shudder to think.
 
Hi everybody Here are my readings for this morning:

6.2 fasting
No exercise this morning - will have more time this afternoon. Sore foot already
6.6 @ 2 hours
 
Morning all.
Fasting = 9.4

+2hours = 9.4

but I did lose 2 lbs at Weightwatcher last night and treated myself to 2 oz of chocolate buttons. Must only have 1 oz next time......
 
5.8 fasting

5.8 two hours post-breakfast
 
fasting 11.2 better - had some 0% Greek yoghurt and 3.5hours later 7.6 woohoo. So things are looking a bit more promising.
 
Good morning everyone

6.2 fasting
6.1 @ 2 hours including exercise

Wish I could get back in the 5s where I always was before about 3 months ago.
 
5.2 at 08:00 this morning.

Also got on the scales, and have lost another 3lbs despite all the wine and higher carbs during my relative-visiting last week. Mind you, I've stopped eating fruit this week. I was eating too much summer fruit for a few weeks, putting me up to about 70/80g carb, so I'm back now to about 25g carb daily.

And the sun is shining!

I think summer fruit is responsible for my increase in levels too although I am usually within 25-40g carbs per day. Will be better in the winter I hope.
 
Hi all. Here are my readings for this morning:

5.9 fasting
5.6 @ 2 hours
That's better - back in the 5s
