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

7.7 this morning, coming down slowly. No surprise that it is a slow recovery of results following a spell wandering off the LC path, nature's way of a slap on the wrist.
Thank goodness my diabetic check-up and bloods are still over 6 months away. Hopefully these small set backs won't upset overall results but going by recent habits and will power I need to be a hermit over the Xmas period,.
 
6.1 first ...as usual rising on pottering about 8.1 ...had small pre breakfast snack ( walnuts and brie ) then 40 minute walk that did lower to 7's . Will walk again in an hour or so and that seems to impact my numbers amazingly .
 
7.1 this morning ...experimented with rice last night and the very little I had didn't raise my numbers much ( 2 mmol ) . Sensor runs out today ordered more but haven't arrived so will be back to finger prick test in the morning .
 
7.4 this morning, slowly coming down. Looking to fit my trial Libre CGM once my readings get back to my pre-holiday readings and see how the CGM compares with finger pricking and hope I haven't been missing anything. If CGM proves useful will sell the house and kids and take out a second mortgage to self fund a CGM , time will tell.
 
I know the cost is high but the free trial one has given me far more insight to what is happening and have now ordered 2 more ( 99 quid ) .
