Morning All 7.4 today so the Plan is going to take longer than desired, sigh!
My cat o’clock these darker mornings is 7.45 and it does make me wonder if I tested earlier would it be better. Soggy moggy day. Take care all

I have started to leave a monitor in the bathroom and when I get up, go to the loo, wash hands take the reading and I am sure it makes a difference. I used to take it when tea was brewing, it would be gaining into the 7s. Just a thought x

Morning!
5.6 today. I didn't need waterproofs yesterday but there is a yellow warning of rain so...

@Ladynijo Absolutely. My down fall was always crisps and savoury snacks, sweets and puddings never bothered me, so it's good to know that there are somethings still out there

My husband has 6.2 today.

Hello and welcome to this FBG thread for all comers.
It's good to have you and your husband aboard.

 

[Omar51]

85 mg/dL 4.72mmol/L. At 5:am wake up. Happy Friday the 13th (no offense, I am not superstitious). Have a nice day.

 

[Ladynijo]

FBG 6.1 this morning. Got to Friday and the wheel is still on, the fingers and toes are counted in and its nearly the weekend.

5.2 - Lively Five-Hive here. However, advice is sought.

OK, got my HBA1C for this October, 55.00, meah, up 5 points from June this year. Here's the run from 2 years ago:

20/09/2021 46.00 - Lowest ever!​

14/07/2022 53.00 - Ugh, raised 7 points, not good.​

12/06/2023 50.00 - Down 3 points, better direction. Start of my Cardio Bypass. During this period there was a short Insulin period.​

09/10/2023 55.00 - Up 5 points, but now well into Cardio rehab. With more exercise, my appetite dwindled, and have lost nearly 16 kilos​

​

Mildly depressed and not a little confused. Here's the thing: Medication Metformin plus now, Dapagliflozin (recent Wunderkind of Cardio/Diabetes); watching diet proof of which is my descending and sustained 6 or lower morning fasting; as a result of the QuadBypass a lot more exercise, workouts, and gradient walking. Question: What do I need to do to get back to that 46.00 of 2021?

All donations, of advice, will be gratefully and respectfully received.

4.8 here today. As for advice, @PenguinMum is correct. Adopt the Churchillian mantra and KBO - no, not Korean baseball.

5.3 - The afternoon spent in the 5-Hive.

 

[RoughcutAU]

FBG Fingerprick 7.6 Libre 5.6. Sip coffee - tries to remember what an FBG of below 7.0 was like. Haha.

Morning all
