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

7.1!!! Blow that, I thought. Immediately tested adjacent finger, which normally reads higher. 5.2. I'll go with that.
 
Tags/name checks for standing strong despite The D and life's vicissitudes in general for: @DEBBIESCOTT - despite penicillin you still managed a heavy day's exercise; @BrianDoc king of the road/pavement/steps; @RoughcutAU getting the insulin/carb balance right; @PenguinMum for being herself, keeping on and being in the sticky sixes; @the-mental-one for managing The D and "that other issue" with what seems like good humour and common sense. Everyone else for refusing to bury your head in the sand - The D is a serious issue NOT the last word on us. Swipey's in the post here.

6.2. Inching down again to 5s. (Said with fingers firmly crossed and a resolve to go for a lunchtime swim, followed by a brisk walk.)
 
7.2 - 4am. Been awake since 2am…. Now, pm 7.1…

Thanks for the winner @OrsonKartt - so good to know you are still about. Take care.
 
Bit late posting well very late but still here is the latest this morning my new sensor gave a reading of 3.8 at six AM then 3.8 at 7 AM but a more healthy 4.6 for me at 8.20 AM.

Judith is according to the nurse borderline T2 but we shall have to wait and see what the next A1c comes back at.

Looks like I am cooking low carb for four now three dibetics and one fanatically keto body builder grandson will make it simpler I suppose.

Oh forgot to mention reason for late posting had abit of a funny day if you can call it that had workmen booked in for first thing this morning to do extensive work in the kitchen so spent till 2 in the morning clearing every thing out then got a call telling me one of the engineers was unavailable so they will need to reschedule for some time in the future end result us with the entire contents of our kitchen strew around the hous and having then to put it all back.:banghead::banghead:
 
@JohnEGreen I feel your pain re : trades rescheduling last minute ... been there done that before. Can swap FBGs if you want :p

FBG this morning 6.8 ... which is heading in the right direction at least.. though its Good Friday and breakfast will be a whopping 100grams of carbs in Hot Cross buns and a strong Latte. Thank God for Bolus hey.
