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

8.3 - Been awake since 2:30…. Took test @ 3:20am….

Moving on…
 
5.6 today

fast release metformin doesn't seem to do so well for me, pre and post evening meal were quite high but morning and lunchtime seems ok...early days back on the meds though so don't know if it's worth a third pill at lunch time just yet.

5.2 this morning, would have preferred another hours sleep, but our pup decided it wasn’t needed !
Our puppy is trying to eat my dad's fish tin from last night, they are lovely but they do often wake up early :P
 
Good morning
Libre 8.6
Contour 7.5
Really fed up
D is a fan of rollercoasters, I’m not
Rest day today, just a walk & yoga
Have a good day everyone
 
Morning all. Beautiful day but I imagine pretty darn cold. 7.2 this morning after a bedtime 7.5. Ohhh to get into the 6s! or 5s!
Same no Rosemary and same sentiment! I used to moan about sticky sixes!
But we just keep on trying and thats all we can do. Hope your hand is getting better.
Happy Saturday everyone. I’m off to dog sit at my sons and share scrambled egg lunch with my grandpuppy.

Yep, keep trying. I love your fireplace! Looks like he/she does too! Bet it looks fantastic at Christmas. It's a slow process but I'm getting there ty.
 
5.3 from Swipey almost 2 hrs later than normal so on the rise I would guess. @DEBBIESCOTT first time I've sensed proper, deep frustration from you but you are such a tenacious lady you'll deal with it. Some of those intervals and weights - when rested - will be full of feeling. I used to use log splitting for that purpose. Name checks: @PenguinMum @Estragon @RoughcutAU @RosemaryJackson big picture guys - where would you be heading without Elsie and testing? @ultradad :woot: @BrianDoc great fbg hug for the early wakeup.

Loving the fireplace too @PenguinMum but I remember those far off days of getting up in the freezing cold and having to lay the fire before I went to work ready for lighting in the evening. Central heating oh so much more convenient.

5.6 this morning.
 
Been AWOL, rural retreat, no tech, and the rebel in me left meter at home! :angelic:
Dietary restraint and decent sleep with plenty of walking up hills and down dales. Yeah, I know, not that much of a rebel, and I tested again this morning with a neat 5.6 result.
Will make an attempt to catch up with all your posts , good folks, but feeling that will not be happening any time soon.:bag:. So will just wish you all you wish for yourselves, and more.:)
