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

[ianpspurs]

My fasting was 8.7 today though 7.5 yesterday. I'm determined to get my blood sugar down though have been in denial for a while.

Welcome @ellesangel. Stick around so we can celebrate with you as you become a number tumbler.

That definitely doesn't sound very nice. Sending virtual hugs.

Many thanks for all the virtual hugs. I managed to sit on my feather pillow and do some knitting of all things today! Bruising has started to really come out now black and blue. Still swollen but not as bad. The way bruises develop its no surprise my bg has been running high, plus the pain and also I have been so hungry! Luckily I have not been eating naughty things!

Happy Friday.

FBG Fingerprick 7.6 Libre 8.0 … unsurprising after a very late dinner and a reluctance to correct just before bed. At least managed to drop and stay JUST in range.

Sips coffee.

8.2 but I am guessing the issue with me falling down the stairs on my butt has not helped. Horrendous pain yesterday and still got a swollen butt cheek left side ( to match the right from previous). I saw stars immediately after the event due to the unbearable pain. I woke this morning at 5am (didn't test) with bruising coming out. No pain on the tail bone - missed that, when walking just mild pain Just got one swollen left side. Ice packs and paracetamol and codeine are helping, also managed to take two small chunks out of my foot in the process, which I hadn't realised until after, I didn't feel it a the time. Slippy socks were the culprit, they are no in the bin!

Hope you’re feeling better this morning

Its not nice at all but at least I can scooch around with a comfy cushion and do something productive like sewing! Nothing too taxing. Feel like Linus from Charlie Brown but with a comfort cushion lol Thanks so much for the virtual hugs xxxxxx

Its whatever works whilst the healing process continues, so keep that cushion strategically placed.

Hope you’re feeling better this morning

I am feeling better thanks but can not believe how much bruising is coming out. As I slipped I went up in the air and landed on the edge of the stairs. Still a bit swollen but my cushion is a blessing!
