Haven't eaten until 3pm so does my test of 5.3 count as fbg?

Hi all. Very late posting today. Bedtime 7.6. Am 7.3. Have been bingeing today so expectations for a low bg have gone out of the window. Have lost control.

Once again, I went missing. Life has got in the way of late. Took a break from testing, but curiousity kicked in this morning, and my fasting level was 6.8. Quite satisfied with that, though would like lower. Just should be grateful it is not in 7s or 8s. Ate a few Brazil nuts late last night. Wondering if that helped, so will repeat experiment tonight.

6.6 .
Sort of wish I hadn’t taken a break from testing now, as perhaps I would have been encoraged by lowering numbers. Will never know, so making do with the here and now, which is good enough.

Hi All a 6.8 this morning after a week of 7s likely due to stress relating to poorly fur baby, thought I was going to lose her Friday but the scan came good and she is starting to eat again. They do get under our skin and in our souls.
