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

Morning All @flonvic me too 7.9 not liking these new strips lol. I really don’t know how to get out of this rut other than carrying on carrying on. Am going away for a few days next Sunday so might pop a Libre on to at least see trends.
Better day tomorrow.
 
No, DEBBIE SCOTT wrote 'Definitely not about the food' when telling us her bg was 3.4.
 
Are the Libre worth the money ?

I found the first 2 or 3 to be invaluable in that they showed what certain foods were doing to my bg. Once I'd learned I didn't need to wear one all the time. Now I just wear one 2 or 3 times a year, mainly for holidays or business trips where I'm not totally in control of my food. So at annual costs of £100-150 I find them worth it for me. I wouldn't however wear one continually at a cost of £1300 annually.
It's up to you...
 
6.7 this AM but going to keep a close watch on the daily increase. This will be the 4th day of punishment for being a "bad boy." At least I have several months before my Hb1ac test to try and recover the situation.
Do you particularly like cider? @ChrisT2. Most ciders contain a lot of sugar, so not a good choice for type 2 diabetics. There are better options.

This should help:
