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

[RosemaryJackson]

Morning all. @Pipp and @PenguinMum. I felt absolutely normal, no problems at all so I think it was the battery and have replaced it. I have never had a reading so low so I really think it was a mistake and yes it was immediately before the normal one. Last night my bg was 7.8 and today 7.1. Thank you both

Makes the couple of cms of the cold white mess here seem trivial. Icy pavements and fog mean I retreat from outside until spring.
I remain hanging by a thread in the sticky sixes with 6.9 today.

Snow removal in Canada is like a finely tuned machine when shifting amounts under 25cms, more than that it grinds to a halt and the kids love a snow day.

Morning, 7.2 this morning down from 8.6 as I drifted off last night.

 

[JohnEGreen]

6.6 this morning. Rather cold out this morning at -4 degrees.

 

[Lainie71]

Didn't test this morning so no idea but will test later - honest

6.2 at 6am

Good morning
Libre 7.1
Contour 6.1
so cold here I’m continually eating all day off to the gym before work, yoga tonight
Be careful if you’re out today

I'm with you with the continuous eating plan. Its a real pain feeling hungry all the time, I'm back to eating butter which I was trying to avoid because of my high cholesterol, plus am going through nuts like there's no tomorrow. Definitely looking forward to the end of this cold snap.

FBG this morning 5.7.

Not very good readings for the last two days, I know why the dreaded Nimble. Two days running I have had 2 slices and yerp that's done it. It is now in the bin. I should have known better but thought I would be okay with occasional treat. The occasional l treat has led me to be in the 7 - 9 region. Hopefully after my work out tomorrow I will be in a better place with my readings or the day after at least.

FBG Fingerprick 9.6 Libre 8.7

Before bed 7.3/6.6 and dropped alittle during the night before the dreaded 3am rise.

Ugh… moving on.

 

[DEBBIESCOTT]

Good morning
Libre 5.3
Contour 5.2
Peleton before work, yoga or stretch after
“5 here this morning, be careful if you’re going out
Enjoy your day everyone

7.9 - Being just below the Heightful-8s, regard this as a tiny, overnight Win.

Fencing Company can’t replace 20 metre run, as ground temperatures are too low for fence posts concrete to set correctly.

Morning All. 7.2 today so while better than yesterday I am sending back for a refund! @DEBBIESCOTT and @Ryhia I thought it was just me feeling hungry all the time since the cold snap. We will get through it, we will.

 

[mojo37]

6.1 this morning just need a little nudge to get into the 5's .

 

[Overwhelmed]

A chilly morning all, fbg 7.2 blah! though I was going to be onto a winner as bed was 5.7 how wrong was I. Wrap up warm and have a good day folks

 

[Lainie71]

7.1 at 6:30am not good for me but hopeful it will settle to some normality at some point today

 

[RosemaryJackson]

Morning all. Bedtime 7.4. this morning 8.4. I know why. Mea culpa. Moving on.......

 

[Melgar]

Morning all, 7.7 this morning down from 10.1 last night.

Its not just the hunger, I am absolutely shivering through to the marrow. Had heating and electric fire on yesterday. I never understood why my poor old mum used to run her heating at full blast and still need to wear 3 or 4 layers of clothing to keep warm. I do now. Can I blame it on the diabetes - it gets blamed for everything else - or is it just age creeping up? Hmm.. FBG 5.4 this morning and knowing what I ate yesterday, I think bloods actually must rather like the cold. Bah. Humbug!
@mojo37 I may need to copy you and search out my Christmas avatar. Your friendly reindeer certainly puts a smile on my face.

 

[JohnEGreen]

5.9 this morning glad to be back in the fives

 

[Lainie71]

7.1 at 6:30am not good for me but hopeful it will settle to some normality at some point today

Well I have just taken my bg and it is 5.7 so I am happy with that. I feel a bit hungry but I think I will just have a few cold boiled eggs and silver side sliced beef.
