Estragon · Dec 6, 2021

6.7 - Back over the Border….. New week. New beginnings. New…….

5.9 for me

PenguinMum · Dec 6, 2021

Morning All. 6.1 today so yippee! Have the best Monday you can All.

DJC3 · Dec 6, 2021

5.3 - definitely the wine effect.
@Estragon hurrah! Glad you crossed the border safely.
@DEBBIESCOTT definitely looks like a dud Libre, Running and PT before work is a really impressive feat, well done! My PT session on Tues has been cancelled due to weather conditions being even more appalling than usual.

4.8. Another day of running about 1 point above what I'd expect yesterday (booster Covid jab two days ago), here's hoping that I'm back to what passes for normal now.

Hi Grant - welcome to the forum What a good idea for a thread. When I read this I had already had my first morning cup of coffee about 10-15 mins before but tested anyway and got 6.4. Last true fasting test was 5.9 so the coffee didn't make much difference (and no sugar anyway!). I usually get fasting tests in the 5s which is where I like them. Perhaps checking in here with my levels will help me remember to do the early morning test

I had a cup of tea tested 6;4 i will test tomorrow pre morning cuppa,

@DEBBIESCOTT legend for that dedication but hug for the early waking and odd numbers. Your D is obviously not due to being sedentary. @Estragon @PenguinMum and @DJC3

@Widgets +1 pt and fbg still 4.8? Impressive. My fbg was 6 today which is by degrees embarrassing, concerning, an epic fail, just where I'm at and still, optimistically, just inside pre-D. Good morning @benford and @blacknjr I'm off to the gym at 1.30 to see Toby. What could possibly go wrong?
Edited to insert fbg

The 4.8 is the 'normal for me' range, yesterday I was running at +1 or so all day. I don't run at <=4 for fasting (I have seen it once or twice, but that's unusual)

3.8 this morning.

Play Ronan Keating on loop and move on. There really is no other way to deal with The D. Take care.

I used to like roller coaster rides not so much now but the song is great.

DJC3 · Dec 7, 2021

karen8967 · Dec 7, 2021

5.7 for me

Estragon · Dec 7, 2021

8 - Yup, stepped-off the Wagon last night ! I was expecting far worse than this, so I’m content.

It’s a Ruby Tuesday, do yah thang!

DEBBIESCOTT · Dec 7, 2021

Widgets · Dec 7, 2021

4.8 this morning - late to bed last night on a high/normal for me reading, but I seem to be back to my standard for mornings now.
