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

The traditional Danish pastries I made wentdown well at the mother and toddlers I help out at (Christmas party). I made apple ones and apricot ones. Unfortunately I didn't think and added nuts to the apricot ones so couldn't serve those in case of allergies however OH happily munching his way through surplus. FBG 5.8 this morning bearing in mind Danish pastries have lots of sugar involved and I felt I needed to do a couple of tasters to check they were ok to serve, very happy with that.
 
Apricot danish. Oh my. Yummy

On the plus side, zero appetite and very little food is clearly balancing out the expected rise in BG from body stressors.

But all this talk of apricot Danish is giving me ideas..!
 
Evening @Ladynijo. I'm a metformin user. Bear in mind that metformin doesn't work on a meal-to-meal basis. It's therapeutic effects are cumulative. If you've taken it for several months, skipping a couple of doses is unlikely to affect your BG levels. The medication you've already swallowed will continue circulating for at least 4 days.

Libre 7.8
Fingerprick 7.6
Ah well, I will be at my grandson’s 5th birthday party (the reason for the trip) this afternoon then on the Caledonian Sleeper back home tonight and back to routine tomorrow.
 
Enjoy the fun
