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

My FBG this morning was the lowest ever at 5.3, I suspect because I exercised late last evening and because I woke up before my liver did.


I was looking for a very optimistic thread I can’t find back now. It was about a guy who was in the news because he had type 1 reversed, supposively because of a unique genetic trait, who came on this forum to anser questions.
 
5.8 this morning. I tried some non-alcoholic red wine last night. It had the same effect as drinking red cordial. I won't be trying that again any time soon.
 
7.0 after a night of debauchery in which I had a too large portion of Eton Mess at my fisncee's friends wedding. I was weak and capitulated. I don't regret it though as it tasted amazing. Firmly back on the trail as of today.
 
3.1 this morning after coffee with 2 tea spoons of sugar went up to 6.6 now back down to 3.6 what to do I don't know..
 
I think Dawn Phenomenon didn’t know about the clock going back. Ha, fooled DP as I left the clock until this morning. I mean, my days of being awake at 2 am on a Sunday are well and truly done, so wasn’t staying up to adjust the clock.
I digress, though. This morning fasting 5.2. Celebrating with big breakfast. Earlier than my ususual 11:00am, because my internal clock tells me it is time to eat.
Happy Sunday everyone.
@JohnEGreen , hope you feel better.
 
Hug @JohnEGreen - no poem for that just S and W + hugs @DEBBIESCOTT Larry Libre? @ert that seems higher than your norm, COVID after effects? @Pipp great fbg. @DJC3 great fbg aussi. A Halloween refusenik living among Uncle Sam's finest? S and W, dole out treats and convince myself I haven't lead anyone astray, Say I was 5.3 - mates rates.

Hug for the high fbg but probably good to "get it out of your system". We have made an LC Eaton Mess since I adore said dish. Worked well but I hate the after taste of erythritol with a passion.

5.4 this morning, which is a lot better than I expected. I went to bed on 6.1 - my fbg is usually similar to bedtime.

Have a great week all. Enjoy your holiday @BrianDoc I agree it’s good to give testing a break now and then.
Winner for getting decorating done after 2 jabs @Marianne67 ( but I can only give you a ‘like’ as I use the app and it’s the only option!)
Glad things settled down yesterday @JohnEGreen , hope all is well today.
@ianpspurs I don’t like erythritol much either, have you tried Lakanto golden monkfruit sweetener? Doesn’t have that horrible burning coldness.
