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

Take care and hope everything heals and you are feeling better soon .
 
Those rises don't sound too bad at all. Well done.
 
Mine was 109 in October, having it done again in January so I'm hoping for a reduction. Well done in what you've been doing, it's not easy! I hope it reflects in your next set of numbers
 
UPDATE: Well I had my appointment with the GP and it went far better than I expected. He was extremely pleased with my about turn on my BGs and the fact that I've list 8lbs in 10 days. So he is happy to keep me off meds and he will retest Hba1c in April - allowing me a tiny bit of wriggle room if I don't lose any weight over Xmas.

To say I'm happy is a gross underestimate - I am over the moon and commited to continuing my progress over the coming weeks. Big target but my Hba1c on 30 November was 101 and my target for April 2024 is to try bring it down to under 38. I've done it before so watch this space!!!
 
I just paid $45 for the hair cut
I would have cut it for free, and do quite a lot. Hoping to go and cut the homeless hair someday. Nothing better to make a person feel good, and nothing worse than spending $45 on a hair cut, was it with golden, magical sheers by any chance
 
Good Morning …

FBG Fingerprick 7.8 Libre 7.3 … not a good result but after the amount of carbs consumed over the last few days its hardly suprising … Better be good for next couple of days because weekend will definitely be carb overload again. I wonder if the insulin producing companies notice a big spike in sales around Christmas like retail stores do.
 
Big spike

Yes indeed, I was just trying to cut a joke
! I live modestly and money
has never been a issue. I like my barber too. Thanks for the comment.
 
BG 4.7 mmol. Still smiling whenever I get these stunning BG readings. Have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming, coming from the fairly recent high readings. Can't wait for next time I do Hba1c test.......
Well I hope anyone struggling has the same success as I've had, after struggling myself to get readings into single figures and then ground down.... Good luck every one of you. Keep at it.......
Everybody else, well done....
You are all stars
