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

[Marianne67]

Bad night sleep, woke later than usual and rushed off out to the market for veg then off to the butches. Only once home did I realise I had not done my bloods. Got a 6.2 when I did test. Hope you have a great weekend.

8.2 yesterday 7.9 today .

 

[Pipp]

Bg lastnight 5.4, this morning 6.9. Is that a huge gap? Have a good weekend everyone

I have rated you ‘winner’, because you are doing well.
The morning fasting level is generally the trickiest, and last to get under control. The gap isn’t too unusual.

 

[RosemaryJackson]

Thank you for that Pipp. I thought that was a big gap and didn't understand why. I won't worry now.

6.1 for me

Not posted on here for a while but FBS varies from 5.00 to 5.9 so not too bad. I’ve recently taken early retirement so have been going for a 2-3 mile walk most days

Morning All. 7.5 today . Have a good Sunday all.

9.0 this morning, single figures I will take that. Have a great day, where ever you are.

6.7 - Better than yesterday 8.0, gotta be some kind of result? Had something like a “sane” night’s sleep. Eye looks to be improving, just sore around bottom eyelid.

Sunday - Any chance we’ll beat Italy today? For me, those two matches yesterday made the 6Nats come alive.

Didn't eat till 10am and took my bg just before and it was 9,4. That was disappointing.

I find my fasting level often continues to rise until I eat. Annoying as I don’t usually want to eat until I have been awake for a couple of hours. If it has been continuing for several days I try to counteract it by having a spoonful of greek yogurt and a cup of coffee. Some people use cream in coffee. I like cream, too much, but it doesn’t like me.
This morning after a lie in my fasting was 6.1. Looks like Dawn P was up early.

 

[Estragon]

That was disappointing.

I hear yah. Tomorrow will be better. It’s the nature of our endosys “collaborating” with the D.

5.6 today, 5 weeks of vlcd finished, cant wait to see the back of it.

 

[DEBBIESCOTT]

Good morning
Phone libre 8.6

Gym closed today so a home workout before work this morning & Peleton later
Have a good day everyone

4.0 today. As its my 2 days off resistance training i am trying to eat a bit more protein to help build some muscle as i would like to start putting some weight back on now (12 .2 stone in boxers). Going to try a whole grain crackerbread with a tin of tuna in water on later (3.5 grams of carbs) and see how it goes

 

[karen8967]

5.9 for me

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. 7.1 was hoping for better. Happy Monday All.

 

[Estragon]

7.7 - Sure, I can live with that, considering just what I ate and drank, during the NFL Super Bowl 56 thru’ last night!
