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

[PenguinMum]

Hi All. 7.1 today which I would happily swap for a 6.1. No clue really but will keep plugging on, its what we do. Have a great Thursday everyone.

Afternoon all. Bit late today. Bedtime 9.1. AM 8.30, 8.1. I come on here to help me keep on track and get hints from others. I also list on 'what have you eaten today'. That also helps and I get recipes from that. Diabetes is the Demon who binds us together! That sounds very profound, doesn't it!! But it's true. I'm not sure I help anyone, but quite a few of you help me I'm happy to say and I'm very thankful for that.

We do all help each other. You are right.
I also post on the ‘what have you eaten today’ thread, when I remember. Which is another supportive thread with ideas for different foods to try.
This morning my fasting is 6.8. I am rather ecstatic about that.

8.7 yesterday and 8.5 this morning ...that's 3 in the 8's over the last 3 days does this mean that I have seen the back of the 9's and 10's fingers crossed .

does this mean that I have seen the back of the 9's and 10's fingers crossed .

Could be . . My experience is no. However, I've not been flirting with overnight 10s for a loooong time, so maybe you've reached down to a sustainable lower plateau.

Generally for me me that's been that case about every couple of months or so I drop a number.

Does that make a difference? Mine was 8 this morning

Yes
Mine is between 5-6 on waking then rises dramatically and not even eaten it’s crazy!

Good morning
Libre 4.6

Enjoy your day everyone

We are not worthy

Good morning
Libre 5.3
Contour 5.3
Gym this morning before work
I post every day to keep myself on track, My b/s is hard to control, none of the usual type 2 things affect it, nobody knows what does, I eat low carb but the only thing that really helps is exercise
Its not about being competitive, just doing the best we can, diabetes of any kind is a sneaky little so & so

Excellent post and I'm of the opinion that the highlighted is very much the case. You can't out exercise a bad diet BUT you can't out diet poor exercise. Naimanism/Naimeme. Look up Ted Naiman. Yes @MrsA2 , I'm also lurking.
