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

5.7 this morning which is a bit strange as I was very well behaved yesterday, slept well and no other reason for the slight increase? Still, it's in the glorious greens so no real quibbling here
 
6.4 this morning. Was so hungry last night and couldn't resist a late night snack of cheese. Looks like it was definitely not a good move on my part. Don't seem to be going down much neither. Still got a lot to learn.

Same here, each time I think I’ve got the hang of it I realise I haven’t at all!

See my reply to @Ryhia. No Ws here but sadly they live amongst us in this community. I may just possibly concede under duress to not cutting myself much any slack but I'm quite willing to do so for others.

6.9 this morning but did not sleep well and was up at 5.30 am stressing
 
Sorry to hear that. Stress seems to have a huge impact on BG. I hope things calm down for you soon.
Thank you sometimes its just a battle that I can do without

Question, what cheese was it?

Cheese is my "go to" when I want a snack later in the evening as its fats rather than carbs. Never had it affect my numbers that I can tell...

It was Aldi's mature cheddar so no carbs - and cheese is my usual "go to" as well. I mentioned cheese but as we all know it could have been anything really, it was just that having cheese late at night was quite unusual for me, I don't normally have anything after 6:00p.m. Maybe my body had a shock. Who can say. Its not the first time I have reacted this way when I have eaten a fair amount of protein, so just assumed. Bloods were in 6s all morning but have steadied now thankfully. I wait in anticipation of what tomorrow may bring.

Wouldn't life be boring if we got it right all the time - sometimes would be nice though.
 
7.9 yesterday down to very little sleep and 7.8 today due to my over tired over indulgence in pasta one of my comfort carbs
 
4.9 this morning.

The bigger win was that at diabetic foot clinic today they told me I can stop taking metformin! So happy as it was not always agreeing with me. I was put on it during my stay in hospital for IV antibiotics for a foot ulcer on 16 September, so about 2 months. The foot is now perfectly healed. Happy dance time. Now to keep up the work I am doing.
 
That is fantastic news. I'm delighted for you.
