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

[Pipp]

Arun of 6.8s continued Thursday and Friday. This morning, expected the same as I believed meter was stuck. Insraed it was 6.1.

 

[Mini Dachs Mum]

5.2 yesterday.
6.3 this morning. The Mimi dachs decided to take herself for a walk when I let her out for a pee. So had to chase after her as we are at daughters place and they live rurally. Of course being a mini Dachshund she has a mind of her own when she escapes.

Good morning, 4.7 mmol/L after 8 .5 hours day time fasting. Well wishes to all

 

[Estragon]

6.1 - BIG treats: Cherries, Strawberries, Ciabatta, Magnum . . surprised it aint higher. Also, down from yesterday's 6.6, I'll regard this as a major win for Team-Estragon, much more than Team-BazBall. I've run out of expletives for our Ashes performance.

Good morning, peeps. A boringly average 6.3 for me today, despite closing my exercise rings twice over yesterday with a walk and a swim. Late dinner and a stressful entanglement with a beeping smoke alarm and a dodgy battery all part of life’s rich tapestry.

Have a good Sunday

Morning all, thanks for all the comments. 8.2 this morning. Still not feeling great so am going to fast as long as possible today and rest. Want to be well for Paul's arrival. @PenguinMum, whatever it was burst before I coul get into see the doc so am bathing it frequently and keeping it clean. No pain there now.Have a good day folks.

 

[MissMuffett]

7.7mmol/l All the sevens this morning. I was really restless last night. After finally falling asleep at 1am I was then woken by hip pain and had to take ibuprofen at 3:30

 

[Overwhelmed]

Morning all . 8.1 this am . Very very poor sleep last night so hoping it's that . Who knows . Bed was 6.0 .
Enjoy your day folks

Really impressed with your control. Do you use a CGM? A friend I know who is a T1 really looks after himself but because he has such good control
he has been refused a CGM. Don't really get that at all.

Yes I use I do, I was originally on FreeStyle libre 2, but since swapping to Dexcom find it a lot better. For me I’ve just found a variety of foods that I like, and with the right dosing don’t spike my blood sugars massively, I seem to be extremely sensitive to insulin. I can turn a fast rise double arrow round to a fast drop, just through 5 mins of intense running on my treadmill.
Yes your right it’s a postcode lottery for tech. When first diagnosed my bloods were up in the 14’s for a good month till I got a handle on how it all worked. I ignored my endo nurse and found what worked for me.

Last night 5.9 first time having a few bottle of Peroni in over a year, was expecting it go up but this morning 5.6 so happy

 

[Lainie71]

6.7 this morning at 5.15am. Out by 7:30am and walking a friends dogs - love it! If I could only keep them! In the 5s during the day.

 

[Pipp]

6.5 . That’ll do. It has to as not much I can do about it.

 

[JohnEGreen]

Morning all. Have had a painful infection in my eye and think that has affected my bg. I have some work to do, bedtime 8.7 and this morning 8.6! Not feeling too great today but it will go. My son is coming from USA next Thursday for a month so that's brilliant news. Have a happy day folks.

A hug for eye infection and of course that will impact on your numbers ..hope you have a lovely time with your son .

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All (just). 7.7 am so fed up with DP so I had my tea and toast and 2 hours later it was 7.2 which just proves again that I need to have breakfast to stop it in its tracks and cheer myself up! Going to test every 2 hours today to get the big picture.
@RosemaryJackson glad the eye feels better but maybe ring surgery so you will be tiptop in time for son’s visit. Happy Sunday all.

 

[Zotato]

8.2 at 8am today but expected it after very little sleep.

 

[ianpspurs]

Another 4.8 here. @RosemaryJackson I hope the eye heals and you have an amazing time with your son. @Estragon excellent run of fbgs. Bazball must pay due respect to the opposition rather like T2 and carbs. When you get careless in a fight dung wins
