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

Check the packet of the chicken breast meat. A lot of supermarket brands have been marinated in brown sugar.

This morning Inwas shocked after a lie in, to wake ,late, to 9.2. I checked same meter, same blood site a moment later, and it was 5.5. Still 5.5 two minutes later on a different meter. So I claim 5.5.

Maybe you had something on your finger that affected the reading
 
6.1 this morning, later start as on holiday. 5.9 last night at bedtime after slightly later LC meal. Hoping that as weight continues to drop (4st since November), and with continued adjustments to diet (Mediterranean and 5:2 with TRE), will eventually see some change in fasting BG. Managed to drop Hb1AC to 36 but that was following fairly draconian Newcastle diet. Now need to establish sustainable long term strategy.
 
Morning all, skipped dinner last night, but got hungry later on and ended up having a light snack, smoked salmon and gluten free crackers. As a result I had a bedtime reading of 13.7. The good news bit is my fbg was down to 7.4 this morning.

Morning all. Woke up very late this morning after a bedtime 6.2 and was shocked to see 7.0. Did have a drop of normal gravy and 2 squares of 85% chocolate tho. Would that do it? Thanks @Estragon but it's turned the tables on me! Have a good day everyone. :confused:

Would depend on how big the ”drop of gravy” was. What it was covering. What it was made with. Etc. Don’t despair, though, @RosemaryJackson. You have been doing amazingly well.

I am not despairing, either. 7.2 this morning, but I did eat more that I usually do yesterday. Back to fast 800 keto today.
 
10.1 - Well, here's a thing, that clearly demonstrates I do have the condition called T2: Yesterday morning, shock horror, Oxygen Sats were 82% (during the previous day 92% > 98%) >>> I phone NHS111 >>> Ambu arrived >>> Ambu to hospital >> whole day being CD-scanned X-rayed blood sucked + 4 rounds of sandwiches + Spawn of the Devil! (Banana) >>> Returned home had CousCous and omitted to take my Metformin - And the result from this morning? Drum roll please - 10.1 - Result!! Get in!!!

I'll pull back my numbers today. Oh, why the drama Ox Sats at 82%? The jury is still out. Long Covid? Etc etc . . . Anywho, this morning back at 94%.
 
Morning All. 7.0 so nearly in the stickies, maybe tomo. @Davidn100 welcome and what a great start you have made. @Estragon sorry about the hospital drama and food but glad you got back home. Agree amazing result after all that! @DEBBIESCOTT good luck with the laser treatment. Hugs for any disappointment (can I hug myself?). Happy Tuesday.
