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


The thread is drifting again which I appreciate is easily done when you want to check in with others but the purpose is as the above.

Please use other threads or PM, thank you
 
4.8 for me this morning at 6.30am - no hot weather here increasing my fbg
 
I had the symptoms of diabetes or hypoglycaemia but at the hospital said blood sugar was normal.
Diabetes Test came back ok.

But I did a 12 hour fast and did a bought test and it said 300-500 as I found it hard to match the colours.
 
Had a rest from testing, hence my absence from thread for a few days. No fasting number = no posting.
This morning was very pleased with a 5.4. Perhaps I need to go AWOL more often.
 
7.7 - Yesterday morning 8.5. But here's the thing, last night had a Fish and Chips supper which gave me a mighty 12.9 - Yelp!! However 2 hours later down 4 points to 8.6, and now, this morning's 7.7 kinda proves something to me. Or does it? Testing this week I will see just how long my Carbo-Binge stays slopping around my bloodstream. And the F'nC? The batter was dry as sandpaper and the chips were like razor blades too!! Not going back.
 
4.2 today. Tryed a piece of keto cake (2 grams of carbs) and some pork scratchings (99% protein) and was all good. They opened a Keto shop in town . have a nice sunday everyone
 
Still stuck in the nasty nine's with 9.8 yesterday and 9.9 today .
 
Well couldn't get to sleep last night - gave up trying around 3:30 or so and went downstairs to watch TV for a while. Tested bloods they were 5.3. Returned to bed around 05:00 got up again around 9:40 and bloods were the same at 5.3. Not too bad all things considered. Hope you all have a nice day.
 
5.9 for me today. Despite poor sleep and wheezing cough.

Hug for the bold section - is that down to hay fever or Platy Jubes superspreading COVID event?

@ianpspurs, as much as I appreciate your concern, as is fitting of my new green staff livery, I must deter, such posts that have no fasting reading.
 
5.2 for me this morning - enjoy what is left of your weekend peeps
 
6.4 this morning and hoovering between 6 and 6.2 for the rest of the day so far. I’ve got my insulin down to 1 unit in the morning and the last two evenings I’ve dropped off the remaining 1 unit of tea time insulin as I’d go hypo overnight otherwise.
 
8.7 this morning. Not my favourite way to start a monday. My control the last week has been rubbish and i’m working toward a much better week this week. *grumbles into coffee*
