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

You know how the wagon rolls, so you can pick up the reins again. Yeehah into November! Good luck!
 
Friday morning FBG 5.6 on the finger prick, 6.2 Libre.

Much better FBG than expected - succumbed to fish and chips yesterday for lunch, which Libre graphically demonstrated in real time was Not a Good Idea as a regular event. The trouble was not so much the height of the spike, but the fact it just didn't come down for hours, until I went for a gentle 20 minute walk. That had the desired effect, and everything went back down to 'normal', bumping along at around 6 for the rest of the evening. Useful experiment.

There's nothing like a sudden injury to push up BG readings, but that's water under the bridge now. You'll soon be back to winning numbers.

Happy birthday, @LivingLightly - have a wonderful day!

I'm still not sleeping well as I have a painful back, but a good 5.3 for me this morning.

Thank you. I've had a lovely birthday.

I'm sorry your back pain interferes with getting to sleep and staying asleep all night. You've still managed to turn in a good FBG result, which is some achievement.
 
6.4 this morning
gorgeous sunny day here, but cold. Minus 5 this morning…plus 1 now. Just had a great walk with hubby and puppy. Paid the final instalment for our condo in Mexico…just a month and a bit away! Heading to the island (Vancouver island) next week to see friends, our son, and other family. It’s an adventure and never fun…hate driving anywhere near Vancouver (ferry terminal). Hoping it doesn’t snow too much over the mountain passes. I despise driving in the snow…
