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

Rather pleased with a 6.1. Must be the miles. Not sure I can manage many of those today, though.
It is probably too soon to be aiming to get down to 5s, but it would be good to see them consistently by the middle of January.
Thanks for all the encouragement and support here. When I first joined DCUK, I thought this would be a competetive thread. How wrong I was.
 
7.2 this morning but once again I have not been able sleep and up till the early hours. My levels during the day have been okay ish . Need more sleep and perhaps I should sleep through Christmas as that's the compounding factor in all this, and stress Does the morning really matter?
 
Attagirl. SMART targets are the way to go. Not a word from anyone about taking my own advice - you hear me?
 
Reading for the last 3 days 6.6 ...7.6 ...8.4 not really doing any low carbing or exercise so what can I expect eh
 
Good morning

Yeah, it’s very disheartening. These stubborn plateaus don’t have many pathways downwards. But you’ve been lower, and guess what, you’ll be lower again. But yeah, Debski, you’ll be there again. Big Picture!
 
4.6 today, despite not really sleeping much after about 3am (or maybe because of that? Who knows ... the ways of the glucose are mysterious)

Onwards to the day!
 
5.8 from Swipey before DawnP's ravages. Far too high but @DEBBIESCOTT @Estragon @mojo37 and @DJC3 would probably take that. Lat flow indicates I have a cold but who knows these days? Gym and school pickup today so almost like two Omicron parties. Take care - Whitty care not Bertie Booster care.

Not a bad score for a cold Ian but take care, Whitty care. The littlies will do you a power of good. I know its preaching to the converted but I recommend tea, lots of it.

OK then. I'll tell JKP a wonderful young lady advises plenty of tea. That may work since she has a hearing problem with voices in my range.
