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

How interesting! @aylalake.

Would you be more comfortable with both kits under the bedclothes rather than sleeping with one under your pillow?

According to the manufacturer, my meter should be stored in an ambient temperature of 10 degrees celsius or above for accurate results.
 
Dexcom 5.7
blood prick 6.1
leg day today and then went to the hospital to have a small lump on my leg removed and a lipoma removed from my shoulder. I’m so darn happy! No new snow so driving was good and a got a great parking spot…my lucky day.
colonoscopy this Friday…drat. It’s a follow up from the diverticulitis and I’d just rather not but…I must. Interested to see what my blood sugar will do with a full day and a half of fasting and the nasty drink….fun times ahead.
 
@LivingLightly I am a restless sleeper and too worried I would lie on the kits or knock them out of bed - much like my cat Both my kits state 10 deg or above too.
Day 2 of the experiment:
Libre 6.7
GlucoNavii (under pillow) 4.8
CodeFree 6.7
 
I’ve reached an all time low….but in this case it’s great news FBG 5.1 at 7:50

My Dawn phenomenon seems to be slow on the uptake too @RD02 My FBG goes down after about 10 minutes of getting up

Out for lunch so I’ll try to make the right choices. Have a terrific Tuesday everyone x
 
Morning all. Haven't tested this morning. I had a really bad night and finally slept till 10.20, got outof bed quickly to open the curtains so my immediate neighbour didn't panic! If I'm late up he thinks the worst. Just didn't think about testing. @mojo37, thanks or maybe a kick up the rear end? I think that's what I need. Have a good day all.
 
Like your new avatar .
Its Princess Mononoke from a Japanese anime film. Wolf girl - she's very fierce looking, which is how I feel sometimes! I like the music to the Studio Ghibli films, sometimes sweeping and grand, sometimes poignant. There is a quote where Prince Ashitaka is told his fate, something along the lines of - 'You cannot escape your fate, my Prince, but you can rise to meet it, if you choose'.

Morning folks …

FBG Fingerprick 6.8 Libre 7.5 … lesson learnt check FBG when you wake up not 45mins later (refer attached graph).

Hope you all have a good day.
Yup, looks like Dawn P (aided and abetted by Foot on the Floor) is doing her stuff!

I seem to have lost mine since I came back from holiday. I dare say its there, I just haven't had a LIbre on and it seemed to be fading in intensity.
 
The quote is very apt
