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

7.8 - I'm so happy to see 7s again, 4 weeks post op now - so basically that's my recovery time then.
 
  • 6.5 fasting
  • 5.5 @ 2 hours, after exercise

  • 7.3 fasting - too high
  • 6.3 @ 3 ¼ hours - forgot to test :shock:
 
5.8 at 08:30 today.

I slept so well last night that I took a long time to come round this morning! I heard on QI that milk & milk products help you sleep, so I had a little milk with a little cheese for supper. Seems to have worked!

  • 6.1 fasting
  • 6.3 @ 3 hours (having trouble remembering) after exercise
 
  • 5.9 fasting
  • 7.2 :? @ 2 hours - really don't know why

Edit:
  • 6.1 45 minutes after 2 hour test and 30 mins gentle treadmill - interesting experiment shows the effect exercise has on my levels
 
4.6 at 07:00 today; then 4.5 at 17:00 after a day on site (one half-skeleton and a pair of feet :shock: ), and 4.6 just now at 23:00.

Quite pleased! Even if I am forgetting to watch the time for my 2-hour tests. but I'm back on the diet, so I know nothing will send me too high.

I am wondering if, with just a joghurt for breakfast, I am provoking a kind of dawn phenomenon after 2 hours by not eating enough. I have trouble forcing even a joghurt down.

I know what you mean about
forcing it down

, Daisy. I can never eat as soon as I get up. I settle down for an hour on the settee with a cup of coffee, the Radio Times, and a puzzle book (how sad is that? :lol: ). This is to give my eyes some fresh air before I put my contact lenses in. I have breakfast then, anything up to 2 hours after getting up.

Even if I'm working occasionally, like I am at the moment, I get up at least 30 mins early to have this quiet cup of coffee. I can't do without it. Then I eat an omelette cooked in butter, which I've not got fed up of yet, and which hardly rasies my BG at all. Even when working and eaten at 07:30, that will last me to 12:30 lunch break.

The sun is shining today

Well done VIV those are great numbers. You never know, do you, what use you might be to someone in the future, even if you are only half a skeleton.
 
We're re-burying him (her?) at a slightly higher level directly above his/her legs, and the feet will go back just next to where we found them (their original sites are going to be soak-aways). The vicar will give a short service for them all once the work is finished.
