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

[Ryhia]

4.7 this morning, helped a little by a glass of shiraz last night. Unfortunately I've stupidly bought incorrect test strips, the meter I am using at present is a Safe Accu and I bought tests strips for the Safe AQ. Will be back testing when I can, in the meantime hope everyone has a good New Year.

Well done! I can only dream of that.

Keep the faith things will get better when we get Christmas out of our systems. I am also disappointed with mine but at least we are trying every day.
Sorry Mods if derailing.

4.6 today for me... last day of the year. May the New Year 2022 be good for everyone.

8.3 early this morning .

 

[MrsA2]

Had a full week of fbg 6.8 to 7.3
High for me, don't know why

 

[Widgets]

5.6 at 5am today. Although I was also up and about at 3am. We did not manage to stay awake until midnight, so it's not quite as bad a night's sleep as it looks on Jan 1st. Still, blaming the bad sleep for the high-for-me number.

Onwards and ... erm ... downwards I suppose.

8.8 - Disappointing.

HNY chums.

 

[Andydragon]

It’s a new year 6.1

 

[karen8967]

5.6 for me

 

[Marianne67]

5.9 for me today. I will take that as I have had a horrible week due to an unexpected family situation.

Happy New Year everyone, we have got this!

Good morning

5.0 this morning. Happy New Year everyone.

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. 6.1 so not a bad start by recent standards. Happy new year everyone.

 

[Pipp]

6.3 yesterday, and 6.6 today. I also completed the Gomad challenge, which I hoped would help get fasting numbers to more acceptable levels. It has, but still not the low range I have had previously. Tempted by the Low Carb programme reset, which starts on Monday. @Estragon, I feel your disappointment, perhaps it would help you, too?
Best new year wishes folks.

4.8 today and Happy New Year to every one

After 36hr fast was 6.2
After 46hrs was 5 2
After 49hrs its 5.6
Finally after 90hr fast its 4.8
Went for 20min bike ride then 4.6
My longest ever fast. Weirdly was not hungry.
Will be having carb free lunch.
Sprouts, asparagus, leeks, mushroom, cara nero cabbage, pak choi all gently sauteed in olive oil and kerrygold grass fed butter. Live sourkraut and sea trout slices (simular to smoked salmon.) Sloosh of avacado oil over all on plate.
Only took few mins to knock up, one pan.
2hrs after lunch was 5.7
Then 2hrs after similar tea with pork fillet 6.1
(Contour next one)

Contour 8.2
Running intervals this morning, long dog walk later, that should lower b/s for today, b/s really don’t seem to reflect what I eat
Back to the gym @ 8 tomorrow morning for an hour with my trainer
Have a good day everyone
