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

[Granny_grump_]

Good Morning everyone
BG this morning was 7mmol
I have a way to go yet but better than previous weeks which have reached 9mmol that’s exceptionally high for me.
Have a good day everyone

5.2 this morning.

Good morning. Just by checking and being here you are all well ahead of the thousands who refuse such self help. Congratulations.

5.0 this morning.

8.2 despite the low carb intake yesterday. Not unduly bothered.
Hoping it was a blip as I haven’t yet worked out how to take BG reading before putting a foot on the floor, but washing hands first, when it is 25 paces to the bathroom, and I haven’t quite mastered the art of yogic flying.
Ah well. Still aiming for high 5s by middle of month.

7.4 - Hurrah! This has been achieved after a Christmas week of extravagancies, resulting in high 8s and a couple of double figures, sprinkled amongst them for good measure. I’ve learnt to accepts that 1) This will happen and 2) I’ve got enough of a “working” EndoSys to be able to pull back from the brink. Well, I hope this is the case.

Have a restful Sunday.

9.9 this morning. Down from yesterday and hopefully the first step in a journey of 2,022+ "miles."
Happy New Year, new acquaintances and "auld."

Good morning
Larry on phone 8.1
Contour 6.6
Back to the gym for a pt at 8am
Have a good day everyone

7.3 - After yesterday’s 7.4. Marginally down, yes, but this is also showing me some 24 hour sustained stability, which I like.

6.6, fair, wasn’t a good day

 

[karen8967]

5.2 for me

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. 6.1 which is a nice surprise. Have a good Monday All.

4.7 today. Back to the normal-for-me range, which is nice. Though it would be lovely if I could work out why I'd been running a bit high the last few days. Oh well, no one ever claimed science was easy

 

[JohnEGreen]

5.7 today up a bit from yesterday but only to be expected.

4.9 Have a great day.

 

[ianpspurs]

Morning. No Swipey no cry here but I'll cheer from the sidelines if that's ok? Y'all are doing whatever you can to tame The D. It is hard enough so props to you all Special mention to @DEBBIESCOTT - tough, tough lady

 

[Pipp]

Improved 6.8 today. Fair enough.
Continuing to get out for a walk, at least a mile, it will be.

These could solve your problem. I bought some long ago for testing in the open air. The seller was extremely nice and helpful when I contacted him with a query. NB these do not contain alcohol, which seemingly may raise bg.

7.1 this morning but lazed around so that's probably why.
6 after my 50 min work out - bike and weights.
