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

Morning All. 7.1 disappointing as didnt do anything rash yesterday. Oh well but those 7s are my nemesis! Happy Sunday everyone.
 
7.9 the best for ages , awake for hrs had a snack about 4am so maybe that's what I need lol .

7.6 - Once the Siege Towers were rolled into place, the clambering Hobbits started clattering on the roof of Castile Estragon.

Sounds like you are rebuilding your castle from the top down or maybe it is bottom up with all the work you have been having done lately. Son is in the middle of having an extension built - building inspector has been a nightmare - nitpicking everything but this is resulting in a really good build so son ok with it. Hope yours hasn't got long to go. Sure it will be wonderful.
 
Late post ..7.5 this morning another one in the 7's. I had a late dinner in work last night so hoping it's that other wise a I'm at a loss

6.2. Oh well, I did have a long lie in, just wish I had checked earlier when I half woke up but decided to hit snooze.

Does it make much difference if you test later Pip? Asking as I'm very poor at getting to sleep until well into the early hours (maybe 3-4am) so tend to then wake up close to midday. No I don't eat after about 11pm just have sips of water but DN says thats still fasting..... not sure why I still listen to her.
Hope that's not too much chat :meh:

Valid question, @valann :)
Testing late does make a difference to me, and some others. It is known as Dawn Phenomenon.

Though I suppose if it averages out over the day I ought not to worry too much.
I am more of a night owl than a lark, so do find BG continues to rise until I eat something. Conundrum for me is that I don’t like to eat early. I quick cup of coffee with a teaspoonful of cream tends to lower the BG . I guess I ought to keep a kettle and a fridge next to the bed.:D
 
Another double digit fasting at 11.6. Two days in a row. Correction made and boring easily carb counted meals today for me i think.

Should probably do a 3am test tommorrow morning. Mmm lets see if that happens. :)

Yes, it sounds like that, but no. It’s a major refurbishment with all the inconvenience minus the outcome of a rebuild. Living inside Estragon Towers whilst the Hobbits clamber about is, well, educative. Early start today with a 8am roll call.
