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

4.8 today. It's the first day I feel I have turned a corner with my Covid symptoms and feel slightly better. Even with the vaccine, I don't recommend it.
 
9.2 when I woke up this morning.

And 9.2 before meal for breakfast at work. (Had crackers as snack during work in morning, then later on an 30 mins break "breakfast". I was very hungry, and eyes was worse visions too.) 2 hours after breakfast meals it dropped down to 7.2.

@Lainie71 you have every right to be chuffed with yourself. (I've never actually met/ heard a person using that phrase). Go girl - I have heard that one.

Think it might be a Somerset thing lol;)
 
5.3 first thing again today and it was only 5.6 after breakfast despite having porridge! Mind you I only have a heaped tablespoon of oats and also add a heaped dessertspoon of Chia seeds mixed with Pumpkin seeds plus Almond milk. Oh and just a few blueberries :)
 
Bit late posting, been a bit busy. So it was a 5.6 this morning, but that was just a tease. Bloods have been high all day. Just measured at 10:00pm and it was 6.9 even though I have only had a couple of slices of pork for tea and a tomato followed by a dollop of cream and that was at 18:00. I had my flu jab this morning, so that might be the reason for the rubbish results, hubby seems to have had a bad reaction to his and has been lying on the sofa totally exhausted for most of the afternoon.

Hope tomorrow brings an improvement.
 
6.4 this morning. I think that's okay. Went for Monday night date night and had a paratha with my Indian meal (first time - need other options than that sweet naan taste) so didn't know how I would react. The walk home may have helped too (traffic snarl ups meant taking a car was impossible) so I'll be bearing that in mind for future.

Good morning all.
