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

[MissMuffett]

Morning all. 7.6 this morning after a very tiring but enjoyable weekend. Forgot to take my monitor so have only todays reading. Have a good week folks. @MissMuffett, I also Googled Metformin and have stopped taking it. They are going to test me for Vitamin B12 deficiency (when they get round to it!).

If I stop taking it my BG steadily goes up! Ive been taking a B vitamin supplement so hoping that’s made a difference. If not I’ll have a chat with my GP

Good morning ️ from California!

5.11 mmol/L 92 mg/dL. Happy Monday morning.
My FBG fluctuates a little, but is always under 5.5 mmol/L 100 mg/dL. Have a nice day everyone.

Morning all. Bedtime 7.1 (improvement) and this morning 7.3. @MissMuffett, mine did too. I'm trying to keep under 20/30g of carbs a day to keep it down. My problem is, I can't exercise so don't have that help. Will keep trying tho. Have a good day folks

 

[MissMuffett]

I can’t exercise either @RosemaryJackson but hoping once I have the operation on my back I’ll be tickety boo!

6.8 at 7:30 ate a slice of sponge cake yesterday! Why oh why and I didn’t even enjoy it

 

[JohnEGreen]

Morning!
5.8 on this manky day. Off for covid jab - have to go 10 miles to next town as our health centre is not participating this year. I had no problem with the flu jab so here's hoping...
Have a great day

I found out my local chemist are doing walk in session for flu and covid jabs. It saved me going 15 miles to the suggested centre!

It makes such a difference to my BG if I do plenty of walking ( not that I have done much lately ) Are there any seated exercises you can do ie with light weights to build muscle etc .

Morning, Tuesday people!

A gratifying 5.5 on the FP this morning. I sabotaged the overnight Libre reading by leaving my phone in my car last night. On catching up with it, I see it was around 6.6 and rising but that was after I’d been turning the house upside down for the phone! Then I went for a swim so I’m ahead on the exercise front so far today.
