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

Omar51 · Jul 24, 2023

Morning All,
Happy Monday, 4.7 mmol on the last two days in a row. a lot of bitter food, bitter gourd, 95% dark chocolate half slice Dave’s thin slice bread. Life is good in California. Good luck with your FBG numbers!

5.9 this morning. Not as bad as I thought, given the weekend dietary lapses. I‘ll take it and run ‍

Have a good Monday, everyone! As Mum used to say, if you can’t be good, be careful.

Happy to see an FBG of 5.3 this morning.

Good result. Stress of MSK appt gone? Hope it went well

Sunday an improvement 5.1 . Monday back to my usual 6.5.

I felt rather ill with the Saturday 4.2. Much preferred the Sunday 5.1.
Still don’t know why, or understand the workings of my blood glucose.

It was an answer to prayer Ian. if I'm allowed to say that....an answer to prayer. Went to the appointment thinking I was going to have to agree to an op as I had already put off the decision at least twice before. I was really dreading seeing him. Anyway, I went in and he asked me how I was, to which I replied "I feel as fit as a flea". He then asked me to walk across the floor and then said ok "I'll sign you off. But if you need to see me again, that's ok". That was just about it. I was flabbergasted to say the least and ecstatic, I was expecting at least the question of the op to be raised, but nothing at was all said. Daft as it might sound, having geared myself up to agree an op, not being asked felt like a bit of an anti climax. However, I am really happy with the outcome and I guess I may have helped to reduce his very long list by one and that's also fine by me. He works extremely hard.

I do feel quite chilled now and maybe that was reflected in my FBG this morning hope it stays that way as I wait for my blood test due Wednesday. Keep well - C.

This morning.

Libre 5.5
Finger prick 5.7

MissMuffett · Jul 25, 2023

5.3
It’s very interesting, this testing lark. Just for those that are new (and I’m newish) I sat up in bed and tested my BG straight away, it was 7! Very disappointed and tried to analyse why. Then remembered I hadn’t swabbed or washed my hands so after doing that took it again and it was 5.3! The moral of this tale is make sure you clean the area you’re pricking!

All depends on wether this useless tresiba they have me on works, but 14.3 this morning and was 6.2 before bed. Tresiba is hopeless, on 64u a night now compared to the 28u a night I was on with Insulatard

dotty-p · Jul 25, 2023

Morning all! 6.3 today at 8:30
Looks like it might be dry today washing out & fingers crossed
