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

5.9, but did enjoy dinner last night, roast lamb, creamy spinach, butter beans, a sliver of roast potato, gravy. Followed by several glasses of red wine, and even a thin slice of nutella chocolate cake with cream. Is that a suitable sort of roast dinner, @ianpspurs ? Nowt to do with DD. :D

Good fbg. Please tell me it wasn't leg of lamb*:bigtears:. Creamy spinach - baby spinach in salad is fine but creamy (anything)?:bigtears:Nutella :arghh: butter beans =21% carb otherwise Cassoulet is divine. 1 glass of red wine is usually enough. Otherwise, I'm all over it.:) I do respect your and everyone else's choices. I would honestly rather fast but thanks anyhow.
*or a chop - what are they all about?

Good morning
Libre 5.7/7.1 before rising & after I’d gone downstairs to find it
Contour 6.4
@ianpspurs would have to be really ill to miss the gym, ran a couple of miles on treadmill last night as well
Walk before work with friend this morning
Sons 25 today so out for meal tonight
Have a good day everyone
 
Good morning!

Early start for me today libre 4.4 but BG is 7.3mmol at 5am. think I may have a faulty sensor. Did the same yesterday afternoon libre was 3.3 but BG was 8.3mmol.

I only changed it yesterday as well! Will keep an eye on it today whilst at work and see whether I need to change it again. I don't know if anyone else has experienced the same but I tend to get more faulty sensors then I do ones that aren't.

I hope everyone has a good day
 
Morning/G'day/Greetings all. Last few hrs of Swipey so readings are Johnsonian in their proximity to the truth. @DEBBIESCOTT a son of 25? You don't look old enough - must be all that gym. Enjoy the meal. @Kiarna96H I have had a higher proportion of duff sensors with the Libre 2. Go Team D.
 
4.8 today. Have a nice day everybody. Scottish power wants to increase my gas and electric from £114 a month to £442 a month, trying to work out why :)

Great fbg.:woot: As for the question, where have you been since 24 July 2019 and how did you think that would work out?
 
Morning All. 8.1 which is a (worst) record. I did have lunch out yesterday but chose chicken and salad. My body really hates me is all I can concur. Happy Tuesday everyone.

Well we, Mr PM and your boys love you not to mention God so chin up and best foot forward. Hard at times but there's no real alternative. All that training as a mum having to soldier on for the boys - JKP reckons she had 4, I only know of 3 - will be invaluable.

Haha you always manage to make me smile, thanks Ian :)
 
4.8 again this morning. Could this be a run of good numbers? I'll not hold my breath, as I've now tempted fate.

It was lamb shoulder, slow roasted with garlic and Rosemary.

Today, I cannot report BG as I seem to have lost the only working meter I had. Searched the house several times. Can only conclude that it went in the recycling bin, with the newspapers, that was taken away early this morning. Oh well, c’est la vie. Will just have to wait for a new meter to arrive in the post, and use my imagination to manifest the readings I want. :)

Sorry to hear about the meter but 5.3 tomorrow for sure. Stud it with anchovies as well and as good as lamb gets.

I’m blaming a late meal last night (steak & salad)
Still don’t feel great, it’s not covid, but did notice the rape seed is flowering now, house is surrounded by fields of it, always gives me really bad hay fever, still going to the gym this morning before work
Have a good day everyone
