Still in the 7s today at 7.7. Nothing my usual bolus with breakfast won’t fix.

 

[DEBBIESCOTT]

[Estragon]

7.3 - Left Hand and, in total unison, 7.8 with my Right hand. Don’t they know to speak to each other?? Seesh.

If you got a 7.3 why test again, bet you won’t do that again

4.1 today. Have a nice monday everyone

 

[RosemaryJackson]

Back in the 7s, 7.6 today at 7.30

Why? ‘Cos my Left hand is often my higher registering appendage, and, I wished to see if my Right hand had registered lower, and if so, I would have been cuffed!

Morning All. 7.3 today after c 20g carbs yesterday. I have started monitoring my BP in the last week and its dangerously high >160/80 mornings and >140/80 afternoon. I wonder if this is pushing my BG up or vica versa. No wish to derail but any knowledge on this by PM welcome. Happy Monday.

 

[PenguinMum]

@PenguinMum time to phone your doctor.

Thanks, yes I’m just waiting for a full 7 days numbers or I won’t get past the receptionist.

 

[Outlier]

After a 16 hour fast (normal procedure) tested and it was 6.9. WHAT???? Immediately tested adjacent finger and it was 6.0. Just shows doesn't it?
Thank you all for the hugs and likes. Today should be a good day - for all of us.

 

[JohnEGreen]

An astounding 4.8 this morning though have a feeling this won't last long.

Two great days fbg John. Thanks be to God. @BrianDoc you're not moaning just factually recounting a difficult situation. @PenguinMum hug for the need to "get past the receptionist." @ultradad scintillating performance my man. @DEBBIESCOTT, as usual, total respect for your hard work. Wearing my splendid Go Team D shirt today.
