Had reduced food intake yesterday, didn’t feel like eating much. Will make up for it today, but the reduction back to 5s is a reminder to take it easy.

FBG 5.3 this morning which is not too bad.:)
Wish me luck with my blood test folks although a miracle is more the order of the day. I tested my cholesterol this morning - my HDL and Trigs are stellar LDL on the other hand rubbish :bigtears:- Total Chol 7.61 far too high for them to be happy and my monitor measures at least a point lower than bloods taken at the hospital - time to brace up. :nailbiting:

EDITED to add: Do feel a little ashamed of myself for all the fuss I make, some of you guys are going through much greater issues than I experience - Thinking of you, you know who you are.

I thought I better post on here to try to keep myself on track as best I can, dealing with a bereavement and my numbers are all over the place, Saturday 7.4, Sunday 6.7, this morning 6.0 but then tested an hour later without eating 7.4 .... went a 5 mile walk, 6.6.

We have managed to book a couple of nights away tonight, off to the Ayrshire coast, our happy place, I will start testing again when we get back on Wednesday.

I hope you all have a great day folks.

So sorry for your loss. I hope and pray your happy place provides some comfort at this sad time.

@Pipp I haven't congratulated you on becoming a mod again. So congratulations. I promise I'll try not to derail. :)

Thank you.
Though you do realize it means I have to behave, too? :banghead::D
This morning at 5:30 and no sleep at all my reading was 6.1. Three hours later after a light couple of hours sleep, 6.3.

8.9 first thing this morning
Fasting BS level has been above 10 first thing in the morning for a while but seems to drop below 9 if I avoid carbs in the evening.
Morning levels are usually the highest BS during the day.
Perhaps, if I grit my teeth and try, I will fast for 8 hours during the day and measure it then to avoid morning syndrome.

4.9 FBG this morning. I can’t recall ever being sub 5 for a morning FBG before. I’ll take it - didn’t retest. Before Lunch 3.9 so might be adjust time again. Lucky i’m fasting tonight anyway for blood tests tommorrow so may as well do a basal test at same time.
