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

Disappointing 7.7 this morning on the plus side diabetic review went quite well she was pleased that I had managed to lose 12 pds in weight and more or less halved my FBG in 5 weeks . Didn't push statins on me though did suggest adding Dapaglifozin into my meds . I asked for another HbAc1 and she agreed it was good idea so got one booked for nxt month and a follow up. The negative side ( always one lol ) was she thought my carb intake was way too low and recommended 130 carbs a day and of course low fat no butter and very little cheese . I let it go and will carry on my own course . That said I m out for meal and drinks tonight ...letting my hair ...so FBG will be high tomorrow .

no bears last night but hubby did run into some coyotes this morning. We heard them howling this morning so likely a kill nearby.

6.1 this morning, hopefully back on track. @flonvic "self inflicted" is good in my opinion as you know why it is high and it is in your own hands to control it. The ones I hate are the unexplained highs that many of us seem to get with no apparent reason and tend to dent the confidence. Keep smiling as tomorrow will be a better day.

Might be an idea to keep a food diary @ChrisT2 for 2-4 weeks. Sometimes a pattern emerges which isn't obvious if we rely on our memory.

I have been keeping a food diary on google sheets (easy) forever (for long). It has just become my hobby now and indeed it helps me to control my BG!

6.3 this morning.

As expected after over indulging a rise in FBG 8.2 this morning and yesterday the same . Back on track now . BG now dropped to 4.9 after a good walk

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All 7.0 today so heading in right direction. I will be hiding for next few days as this hot weather upsets my tum and makes my feet swell. @RosemaryJackson sending best wishes for you to feel better soon. Stay hydrated (note to self). Enjoy the sunshine if you can.

I do keep a food diary as I need to know my carb intake and what foods are good/bad. I find Myfitnesspal is a app great for tracking the good, bad and the ugly when it comes to food as well as measuring quantities wherever possible. Unfortunately though my BS readings do still throw up unexplained highs especially first thing which to me just seems to be a weird feature of my diabetes. It is not really a "pattern" but just an unexplained irregularity and looking at the results of others on here I am not alone in those irregularities. One day maybe I will crack the reason but until then I will continue to be baffled.
