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

6.5 FBG from a reluctant digit this morning. That'll be the roast parsnip then!

Does anyone else have trouble getting blood from fingers in the cold weather? I have to move around & warm them up a bit before I even attempt it, otherwise its a bit of a struggle.

Oops forgot to post! 6.5 @ 8am I was surprised it was that good as mother in law brought scampi and chips yesterday! Damage limitation I only had 4 chips.

Hope you’ve had a sunny Sunday

Just goes to show there is no rhyme or reason with diabetes lol
 
6.2 this morning at 7:00am, bad nights sleep but in bed by 9pm and couldnt sleep. Must have dozed off early hours. Think the bg number reflects it. Number 5s where art thou number 5s

Morning all. Didn't take my blood yesterday but today it was 7.0 at 4am. But I have a very bad and painful back so not surprised. Have a nice day folks.

Honestly, I have problems with the cervical vertebra. Yesterday was a busy day. That moment when I finished washing the dishes and thought about how nice it would be to throw my legs up on the table and lean back on a chair))) Result: in the morning I somehow raised my right arm
 
How are you now|? I too, have cervical spine issues If I stress my neck, I find a day or two of rest usually helps settle things down. I hope it is the same for you.
 
FBG Fingerprick 6.3 Libre 5.2 slightly better.

Another 2am correction though …which was super annoying because the graph was reasonably flat from a before bed reading of 5.8 until that time. Not really liking setting my high alarm to an inside range number just to avoid the DP spike going too high.
 
An astonishing 5.0 this morning!

One month in on keto and I am seeing numbers like I hadn't seen in decades on lazy LC. Unfortunately, I know from experience that extended keto causes me thyroid issues, so as per Dr. Wahls, I will be alternating keto with LC, though I don't think my thyroid would tolerate seasonal switching, so I will alternate months. I'm loving these numbers! I think that will keep the experiment going when it would be easier to relax. (I actually had a reading in the 4s this week!)
