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

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.
 
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

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.
 
A hug for eye infection and of course that will impact on your numbers ..hope you have a lovely time with your son .
 
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.
 
If it's anything like my surgery Rosemary's son will have been and gone before she gets through lol.
