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

6.3 at 7am I then went back to bed as according to Fitbit I’d had 3 hours sleep. I’m sooooo tired!
I don’t find it hard to fall asleep but then after a couple of hours I wake up and because I’ve had 2 hours I’m then wide awake. It’s infuriating and I hate going back to bed as it messes up the rest of the day and the dogs keep staring at me to get going.

Have a fab Friday everyone
 
Been missing for weeks. So hope you have all been behaving.
Have ongoing health problems under investigation. With a bout of covid chucked in for good measure. So testing BG has been low on my priorities list.
I took the plunge this morning. A respectable 6.5. All things considered, I have no complaints with that.
 
5.8 - Yesterday, Friday, was full of 6s. Thursday was Covid19 booster day. I felt rubbish all day, but now in the 5s, all’s good again and the Booster Blues have totally waned. Oh yeah, blood tests today, then the wait - tick tock tick tock…..
 
Morning all. A disappointing 7.4 this morning after the 6.4 yesterday. But I did take it a lot later so I'm blaming DP! Thanks @LivingLightly , I came off it because I am so tired and have lots of mouth problems and found out that Metformin can cause a deficiency of Vitamin B12 and they are some of the symptoms. Now waiting for a blood test. Have a great weekend folks
 
Morning all a flat 5 fbg here. @Mini Dachs Mum I hope all went well and you are recovering as nicely as possible. Thoughts and prayers with you. . Probably a few sore Delts here. I had both jabs at once on Weds and can only sleep on my side - took me until yesterday to sleep properly. Have a great day.

I wonder if that’s why I have a low folate level? GP has asked me to take a folate supplement and will re test blood in 3 months. I had all the symptoms and thought I was anaemic. Interesting, I must investigate

6.3 again this morning
Have a super Saturday everyone
