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

As expected high readings over the last few days ..eating way too much of everything both in work and at home therefore FBG ,s have been in the 8 to 10 range .I will change this form of self abuse in the New Year .
 
Evening @Ashybang. It's good to know that stent insertions went ahead as expected. Thank you for keeping us updated.
 
This 20 minute podcast is perfect for you
 
9.8 this morning at 8 am, went back to bed and 8.8 at 10.20am then straight up to 9.8 when on my feet.
Did not swim, think I have got the kids virus. Skipped breakfast. But noticed increased productivity when BG lower.
Something to look forward to longer term.
 
6.2 this morning. Decided to weight myself today after a period of not doing so for at least a couple of months. Really got a shock at how much weight I had put on. Not managing much exercise at present, plus I have got into the habit of having coffee with cream quite frequently, then there are the nuts..... change is needed I think.
 
Hi friends.....
My diagnosis was all very technical from scan results, with various arteries in differing stages of being blocked, by cholesterol, and years of hard heavy smoking.
The upshot was, iv had two diagnosed heart attacks.
From my experience of past 8 months worth of 'Episodes' of sudden turns etc, i suspect ive had a few more heart attacks (undiagnosed) throughout 2023.
I hammered my way through this period, by smashing GTN sprays into my system, to dilate blood vessels and get relief from these attacks.
I now know what to look out for in future ..........


Back home and im reading BG7.1 mmol this morning.

I would like to get this BG reading lower again.
Sending out love, thanks and best thoughts to all who have endured me, on this forum .
Heart felt warmth sent to all who need it..
 
Welcome back @Ashybang. It's not an endurance test for us believe me, but we have felt concerned for your health and wellbeing. All the best to you and your family. Thank you for keeping us posted.
