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

A modest 5.3 FBG this morning, so the swim did its job even though I was so tired I was in bed by 9pm.

@DEBBIESCOTT Hope your cough settles down soon. My brother had whooping cough at the same time as mumps, over Christmas one year, apparently I had very generously donated both to him but recovered quicker. The head over a bowl of steaming menthol crystals was a favourite of my mother's for just about everything to do with the lungs, certainly cleared the nasal passages if not the cough!
 
Yesterday I never posted...... 13.2mmol
Today was no better BG 14.7 mmol.
Been on a high plateau just lately & am still trying, but struggling to reduce since being put back on steroids and having various medical conditions.....
Love sent to everyone and best thoughts for anyone struggling or ill.
 
Thank you, yes I’ve tried the steam, tried it with menthol crystals as well
 
Thank you, had it since Christmas so must be nearing the end now, go has been brilliant
 
Morning all. 7.4 this morning. Am quite surprised it's so low. I've had no sleep through itching and soreness. I look like a dinosaur atm (a pretty one of course!). The chemist didn't have the steroid cream that will help. Fingers crossed for today. Hugs to all who are in need. X
