6.3 this morning.

 

[Estragon]

7.7 - Bed 9.1, so a reasonable drop. However, during yesterday and after some dark rye bread carbs and NO Metformin, I spiked an outrageous 14.1 - WOACHA! And yet, thankfully after 2 hours, and Metformin, 9.1. Looks I’m on Metformin for the foreseeable.

Oooh, Wet Wednesday.

Morning All. 6.5 for me this morning. @Ryhia that must have been a tough drive in that terrible rain yesterday but nice reward at the end of the day. Take care everyone in this weather.

6.4 tis morning better than the 7s I was stuck in not so long back

 

[RickyCantrell]

6.21 am Reading of 8.6 which is good for me in a morning

 

[RosemaryJackson]

Morning all. Bedtime 7.6. 6.30 am 8.4. Me too @Estragon. I left off Metformin and one of my meals put me up to 19.1! Won't do that again.

 

[Overwhelmed]

Morning all, 6.8 this morning and bed on 6.1 have a great day folks

 

[JohnEGreen]

Morning all... Well that was a weird night!!!
BG between 94 (5.2) and 90 (5) at bedtime …then dropped fast to 69 (3.8), alarm level on Libre3 and stayed at that level for 4 hours 68-71 (3.9) …. I ate ½ a chocolate hobknob to raise level, but it did nothing at all!......Stayed flatish for 4 hours and then jumped up when I woke at 06.00 to 89 (5.0)

Woke at 06.00…. showered then did tests. Libre3 87(4.8)…Vivachek 6.0… That is a 2.6 or 1.2 discrepancy!
Really want to lose weight at the moment so 20 hour fasting, but last 2 weeks only lost 1.5kg. I have a once a year foody extravaganza this weekend, so banking lots of low carb levels! Seeing a specialist this afternoon, so will find out what I am doing right and doing wrong.

I said it gets weird at times didn't I.

 

[Estragon]

Me too @Estragon. I left off Metformin and one of my meals put me up to 19.1!

Yeah, just shows what a necessary med it is.

 

[Ryhia]

Bloods 5.4 this morning.

 

[mojo37]

6.9 again this morning and that's ok

 

[Tamarillo]

I consumed more carbohydrates yesterday (approx 60 g total and 30 net) plus a decent amount of protein (67 g) and fat (lots!!) - but I guess I confounded things by finishing my two meals for the day just after 1pm.

So my numbers shifted in a more ketogenic direction rather than the opposite I was expecting.
Glucose 3.9 Ketones 3.1 at 7 am. 18 hours fasted.

I guess this shows the potential benefit of intermittent stye fasting - 16:8 or 18:6, or whatever.

 

[RoughcutAU]

Before Bed Fingerprick 4.9 (2+hours after last bite/sip)

FBG Fingerprick 8.2 Libre 8.2.

Ugh … high fat/protein or beer strikes again. Lucky pub night is only once a week.

And then my low glucose alarm goes off while typing this.

 

[DEBBIESCOTT]

Libre 5.9
Contour 5.8
Off swimming first thing
Enjoy your day everyone

 

[Estragon]

7.7 - Same as yesterday’s 7.7, went to bed on a 8.6, so almost a whole point drop over night.

 

[JohnEGreen]

Libre 5.9 GlucoRx 5.8 today.

 

[Estragon]

@JohnEGreen - Well done!

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. 6.2 for me today so far this is a good week for me but now probs jinxed it!! Happy Thursday everyone.

 

[RosemaryJackson]

Morning all. Bedtime 7.9. 7.30am.... 7.8. That's a first for me. But am very happy I'm on my way down again. Sticky sixes, I'm coming to get you!!!
