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

[Estragon]

Well, them's my onions but what do I know?

Ain’t no ting.

Not eaten yet so a fasting BG of sorts. 3.1. Not sure what to think about that one. I do feel a bit ropey today and did a covid test earlier just in case. Would a cold/flu lower BG?

FBG 5:00am Fingerprick 8.8 Libre 8.4 Double ugh

Knew I should have corrected at 2:30am when Libre suggested it was creeping up around the 7.4 but couldn’t be bothered getting out of bed.

Bolus and early breakfast for me!

Wonderful news on the eyes. So well deserved. The A1c is bound to be a massive drop from 17 months ago.

Thank you, was dreading it after being told last time if they get any worse it’s injections or laser, only rang me on Tuesday with a cancellation & didn’t have time to worry
Pleased your numbers are coming down

Morning all. Bedtime 9.1. 5.30am... 8.1. @PenguinMum, didn't have Gen Anaesthetic just local which was really painful! Also I've taken myself off Metformin. For the last 9-10 months, my legs have been very weak and I've hardly been able to walk. Have read that Metformin can affect them so am waiting to see if there is an improvement. My DN said we will see what your A1c is then decide what to do. And it stayed the same.

Are you taking statins?

Drum roll please.............. 5.1 this morning!! How I pray that this is not a one off as I worked my little bum off yesterday with the exercise and didn't eat anything from 7:30pm until I woke up at 7:30am. I have a feeling I will have to exercise everyday to maintain in the 5s all day

 

[Outlier]

I was hungry yesterday, so had an eating day, though all keto. Today fasting reading 6.2 - was rather fed up at being in the Sticky Sixes again - then the day took over, and was dealing with this and that for two hours, so I thought I'd "waste" a test strip and try again (fasting is fasting, after all). 5.0. Yippee. Wasn't a wasted strip at all.

Have just checked and I am hovering still in the 5s its 5.4 before my dinner as I am now starving!!!

5.2 this morning at least that's what the meter said.
