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

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.

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.
 
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.

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.

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.
