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

[Welshman1952]

G'morning peeps - a tad bracing here in not so sunny Devon. Fasting BGs of 6.8 - it seems living off salads is agreeing with me.

Off later today to do a little grocery shopping and probably an espresso with my wife in my favourite coffee shop.

Evening @Welshman1952

Can't think of a lovelier way to lower blood glucose levels than birding with family on a January day in anticyclonic conditions. Bitterly cold I expect, but good light and visibility is everything. Hope the tides turned in your favour and you logged lots of species!

It was marvellous with highlights of spoonbill, glossy ibis, curlew, lapwing and snipe. All in all, a great day

FBG 7.2 at 7:30 I’ll put the high number down to a large portion of yogurt, berries and nuts
@DEBBIESCOTT hope you start to feel much better soon and tender hugs to all those feeling under the weather.

Have a marvellous Monday everyone x

Morning All 8.0 yesterday and again today but brewing lurgy. Mr P has chest infection and though we have been staying in separate rooms I probs got a little bit of it. @DEBBIESCOTT that sounds like a really nasty and persistent infection that surgery need taking seriously. @Estragon back in the Hive yeah! @Ashybang and @RosemaryJackson you will get there. Take care all.

7.8 today along with the runs!

@DEBBIESCOTT Hope you're feeling better soon.!

Fbg 4.5 this morning, Libre (xdrip+) tells me I had a low (3.6) more or less when I was up and brushing my teeth...never felt a thing, not faint or anything?...

I also use a LUMEN and it tells me I woke up burning mostly fat this am...

I know it's not a useful measure but yesterday's calculated A1c was 27 (4.6%) .....I'm quite happy with that!

Have a great day folks...

7.8 today along with the runs!

Oh dear!....game of thrones takes on a whole new meaning....hopes for a speedy recovery, make sure you stay hydrated....

 

[RosemaryJackson]

Morning all. @PenguinMum, I think I've taken a step backwards! 10.4! I'm ashamed to post it. Hope we all have a good week.

 

[Estragon]

6.7 - Again, embraced by the Stickies.

 

[Estragon]

I'm ashamed to post it.

I hear yah, but please don't be hard on yourself.

 

[Estragon]

@Estragon back in the Hive yeah!

Not for long . . Somebody must've "snitched" me up as being in the Hive!!

 

[Ladynijo]

Morning all. Back from my antipodean adventures with a FBG of 5.7. Not too shabby after 2 long flights, a nosebleed, and numerous airline meals.

But I got a full 9 hours sleep last night back in my own bed, so feeling ok if a little chilly. A new year begins

6.6 this morning. Watching birdies from a hot tub is absolute bliss. Stay safe people prickers.

 

[Omar51]

Good morning from California.
4.62 mmol/L 83 mg/d on Monday morning. Too cold outside for a walk. Have a nice day everyone!

 

[Ryhia]

6.1 this morning after walking downstairs. I find just the walking downstairs will put up FBG for a few mins so maybe not the best time to test.

 

[aylalake]

Finally fell asleep at 3am. Woke at 7am
Libre 5.8
Finger poke 6.4

Get well soon, poorly people.
Congrats or commiserations everyone else, as required.

 

[Ashybang]

Forgot to take reading this morning on awakening, but more than likely still in the 8s as was up in the night, feeling the cold and have signs of a sniffle on top of everything else.
All I can do is post reading now at 2.15pm which is BG 6.7 mmol.
A lot of folk in the 5s and going really well. Smashing stuff......

6.8 this morning and freeeeezzzzzzzzzing! Forecast is snow but local weather forecast says no. Work out done and I have been fed and watered so probably back to the 5s later but after exercise reading was 7.5 which for me is acceptable after a 50 minute workout. Legs didn't want to work when I ran upstairs earlier, cold weather makes the muscles work harder I think, in my case anyway
