5.8 this morning at stupid o'clock due to having to get up to go into the office for the first time in 19 months. Considering I've been a bit anxious, not bad at all.

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
Hi there, and welcome, lots of information on the site but to answer it’s best to have your own forum post as this one isn’t really the best place to go into discussion.

Rum experiment paused.
Monday fasting 6.2
Today 5.9 .
Testing may pause as I am running out of test strips, and running out of the will to order some more.

4.9 this morning. I am following sick day rules so had to take extra insulin to achieve this level.

Michaelmas Mk 2 today (older one October 11) 3 geese (Martimas as well) would be greedy. Swipey offered me 5.9 - not sure if serious. Slew of sensor unavailable messages and blank screens make it as trustworthy as our PM. @PenguinMum your device is obviously spot on. Welcome @Kiwigal and @chani111. @ert hope the other test comes back as clear. Smart move on the sick day precaution.

4.1 this morning. Have a good one everybody :)
Just looking at your signature," 24 September. HbA1c 87. Type 2 doing Carnivore diet..." Is that this year's result, - surely not? I would have expected your HbA1c to be in the low 30s with FBGs like yours.
