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

Am fairly new at this. Mine was 8.9 this morning. Seem to be having a problem digesting foods even though they are low sugar and conform to recommendations. Substituting glucerna for lunch and supper will bring me down to 6 but I have lost a lot of weight and don't need to lose more.
 
Nice to hear from you.x
 
Back to the hive with 5.3 this morning. So maybe I should leave those Werthers alone. I don't care, its Friday, its sunny and its the weekend tomorrow!

Good to see you @Ashybang, everyone needs time out now and again, worth just focussing on getting well.
@MissMuffett don't do what I did and say no if doctor asks you whether you want an HbA1c, no idea why I did that because I really want to know whether what I'm doing is working according to the diagnostic tests. Afterwards I half wondered whether they were cutting back the budget on lab testing, because really I've only been diagnosed a year now and I thought initially the recommendation was to test every 6 months to make sure the meds/lifestyle changes were working OK. I'm such a cynic, I know!
@DEBBIESCOTT good luck with the laser treatment, hope it goes well.
 
Hello. Bit late today but at bedtime last night my bg was 7.6 and this morning 7.8. Yippee! I'm in the 7's! First time since I stopped Meformin. I've joined Slimming World. Last time I went I lost weight, A1c down, cholesterol and blood pressure down. So hoping for the same. Have a lovely day all.
 
36 hours with no food….so hungry. This morning Dexcom read 4.4
was low 5’s most of yesterday and overnight.
curious to see what will happen when I eat…but that’s a while yet, 6 or 7 hours.
this colonoscopy prep is brutal….never had to do one over two days.
sun is shining but it’s minus 7 and the coyotes are super active this morning
 
Its still nice to hear from you when you float back in. I have been a bit illusive as my readings have been pants - and that's putting it mildly! Cannot seem to get out of the funk that I am in at the moment. Like you I have way too many things going on in the background and I am just taking one day at a time and trying to keep up with things. So, float in and back out, whenever you like that's what I say X
