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

6.2 this morning. Trying to cut down on calories to see what that brings.

Hope it goes well for you. The oft repeated mantra here is we don't count calories we count carbs. Colour me sceptical on that one but never say never. Better people than me live by that mantra.

It works for me @Ryhia. Great if you just have to count carbs, and it works, but for me it doesn’t. I wish it would, because I see all the success of others, making it sound so simple. Such is life. I never assume there is only one way to tame the T2 beast. We all have to find our own way through this particular maze, but good to be among others searching, too.
Oh and just scraped in below 6 this morning with a 5.9. I celebrated with a longer fast until after a hard workout at swimming pool, and had breakfast at 1:45 pm. No complaints here.:D

Nothing about that post deserved a hug - it should have been a winner BUT you gave me a hug when I said not to so fair's fair:D. My seconds will call on you at dawn. Chaffles or Montezumas? If you can eat even a mouthful of either of those I yield Ma'am.

Another Swipey needs to be returned. Outrageous readings then a stream of error messages so no fbg. @DEBBIESCOTT them batteries must be something else. I hesitate to say I'm going to the gym since you make that Ton Daley challenge seem - almost - tame. @BrianDoc good move not going indoors.

@ianpspurs :bag: , ok, I cede. Your dawn challenge would be a bit much, eating those foodstuffs would really sabotage current regime, and would make me sink to bottom of the deep end of swimming pool, during morning workout. Reason for the hugs? Noticed you had dished out a few, so thought it fair to reciprocate.
You missed using my nemesis in challenge. Not telling, just in case there are future challenges.:D
This morning I am seeing a 5.6.Yesterday, afternoon I reached a new low of 4.2. Current regime making me very contented.:)
 
7.9 - Did not sleep last night. However, this afternoon 4.3 - eh?
 
9.4 :( when you entertain and snack on carbs and fruit how can they say carbs and fruit are good for us diabetics?
