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

No number for me this morning.

In other news, new battery for my meter has been ordered (so THAT explains the somewhat wonky numbers over the last couple of days ....)

 

Morning All. Disturbed sleep and bad dreams resulted in 7.5 at 08.15 when I properly woke up. Can only improve. Enjoy Sunday everyone.

 

5.7 for me today

 

Hi Penguin mum Be patient thing will get better everyone has been there at sometime in their diabetic journey. Hugs K

 

Well i now have had a meter for a week to see where i'm at. 7.2 this morning.

 

Thanks so much. I am four years in and first two years I was mostly 5s with the odd 4 but in the last year I have struggled to move out of the 6s and absolutely hate 7s. I try hard maybe not hard enough but feel I’m on a slippery slope.

 

The alarmist libre2 3.8
TeeHee2 4.9

 

Must admit @Widgets I have been quite envious of your recent numbers. Any chance I could have your old batteries

 

I am further in to my DB journey at 10+ years - but am in exactly the same place with the fasting numbers. Try to be sanguine about it but in truth I do hate seeing the sixes and sevens at the start of my day. All other numbers including the HbA1C are good though so it can't mean that much!!

 

But none has true has man’s best friend our beloved DOGS they give loyalty comfort affection and complete trust. And ask very little in return just a walk feeding and water and care from us in there I’ll health. K

 

@PenguinMum I've known you long enough to know how hard you try. Like many other aspects of life trying too hard always has unfortunate consequences. Don't even think of ever trying to use that on me for a femtosecond. I'm different.

 

This morning one metre 8.1 the other 10! I did not take it this morning or the last few days. Have had a bout of terrible contact dermatitis flare up under my armpits of all places and I had an apple this morning too. Think its all connected to be honest. I am currently walking around like a Michelin man - for those that remember

 

Sure! It'll save me having to work out the specific code to get the binnies to take them away with the rest of the recycling!

Driving to the local tip just to get rid of a handful of dead batteries seems a little ungreen and counter intuitive to me.

 

Bloods 4.8 this morning.

 

4.4 Have a great day.

 

5.6 for me today - Enjoy what is left of your weekend folks!

 

6.5 13hr fasting

 

Thanks so much for the solidarity Clea. I am in exactly the same boat re A1c though for some reason I have been high before supper lately. Infuriating isnt it!!

 

Thanks Ian and I just lose patience and get infuriated when I slip into high 6s and 7s. Sets me up for a bad mood kind of day.
