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

Libre 8.6
Contour 8.4
After a lie in, (slept really well)
No food or drink for 12 hours
Very low carb day yesterday
100 squats & 16,071 steps
Producing normal amounts of insulin & not insulin resistant
So irritating
Moan over
Gardening this morning & a long bike ride later
Enjoy your day everyone
 
10.6 today. I’m not too concerned as I’ve been experimenting with low carb (around 50-100g) as opposed to keto. The latter brings my BGS down quickly, but it makes me miserable and I struggle to sustain. Hopefully combining the former with Jessie Inchauspe’s hacks will pay dividends in the medium term.
 
5.0 this morning. Had an awful sleep last night - dosed off, then woke up cold - the window was open, couldn't get warm after that plus my busy legs syndrome kicked into play - finally gave up trying, so went to watch some TV for a while until I felt more relaxed. Think the busy legs may have been the result of the walking I did yesterday, went to Hamsterley Forest which can be quite hilly, I have never been any good at walking up hills, it didn't help that we were intending doing a 5 mile trail, strayed off track a little (in reality got lost) and ended up doing more like 7.5 which isn't so bad as at one point we found ourselves on the "Red" mountain bike trail which stretches 14 miles over pretty rough terrain, glad we didn't have to follow that one through to the end.

Before bed 5.2 ... fasting 7.6 ughh. Could have been the tasty but fattier dinner then expected or the “Eton Mess” or both. But still a good night.. i’ll behave today.

Eton Mess? We've got one squatting like a malevolent Giant Cane Toad in Downing Street/Party Central. Does Albo fancy running us remotely - Ardern turned us down already? My Food Fairy makes a really good LC Eton Mess - Stanley didn't. @PenguinMum yay for 6s and enjoy your pub lunch even if Spurs knock some of shine off? @mojo37 for lower fbg. Go Team D and Spurs.
