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

6.4 today. As the sun is bright it will be a walk, rather than swim today.

Diabetes management is like being on a treadmill. Keep pacing out, things will eventually work out.

Nice fbg. Enjoy the walk but steady does it. Ya really think so? (for the italicised) Would you be interested in buying a bridge - maybe even two?:playful:

Hi, Please can I join your forum as am in need of some encouragement! Diagnosed with type 2 in 2011 and currently trying to control it by diet alone. My blood sugar was 5.7 this morning.

Hi @tabbytwo and welcome. Your fbg is great so you’re obviously doing something right, well done. We will cheer you on (or commiserate with you if it’s appropriate)
 
Thanks for the warm welcome, you all sound a friendly bunch. Been lurking for a while, trying to pluck up the courage to join:chicken: Need encouragement as feel I'm half starving myself at the moment in order to have good blood sugars.
@ianpspurs may I ask what or who is Elsie?

Elsie is the "other woman" L C. She has a mate - Gladys - glad its not the sticky sixes. They sit on a bench chatting about missing Gert - Gert Bigmeals. Sounds as though you know those three so you'll do just fine here.
 
@Estragon heed these wise words. @tabbytwo lots of tea and a huge salad once a day are all I have for the hunger but everyone finds their own route through - pilgrims through this (very) barren land. Fbg of 5.4 for me :meh: Gym for me today. Probably more symbolic than helpful but allegedly tailored to the needs of my spine.

4.8 this morning, despite a very broken night's sleep and a day yesterday where I would have happily eaten my own leg if I were just a bit more flexible! No idea how those two things came to that number but I'm not going to complain.

Welcome @tabbytwo to one of the friendliest and most useful spaces on the whole of the intertubes.

Aw, man I adored that series! Each and every character was immense. The script and the music just had me riveted.

Must see for The Lads at Uni. Good man for battling The D so well while recovering from previous brush with COVID. Avoid watching the cricket or bg will soar.
