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

[timbo_dolman]

6.5 this morning, early start at 5:30 am

 

[ChrisT2]

Ooops 8.2 this morning bucking the trend. TBH not really surprised as it is never a smooth ride when trying to reduce blood sugars but hopefully just a blip although an unexplained one.

 

[Gezzabelle]

Good morning everyone. 5.6 today .... Hope everyone is doing well

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All 7.3 today so better. Have a great Wednesday everyone.

Well my recovery isn’t going as well as I expected and it’s still hurting like hell! I’m taking naproxen and pregabalin and occasionally topping it up with paracetamol so not sure how that is affecting my blood sugar. The consultant (and my daughter, who is a nurse) are telling me my expectations are too high and it’ll take 6-12 months to recover!
Today 10.5 mmols at 7:30am
Monday it was 15.5 mmols
Yesterday 11.3 mmols so coming down slowly. I’ve gained 10lbs since my operation so the ketovore started this week.
I’ve been too miserable to post on the forum but I’m back now

Welcome back to our forum @MissMuffett and this FBG thread. It's good to see you here again.

It's early days, but your FBG readings are heading in the right direction.
Once again, welcome.

[PenguinMum]

Morning All 7.4 so holding the line. Hoping to be in 6s soon. @MissMuffett sorry you are going through all this and as others said be kind to yourself and don’t worry about the BG as you will be able to get back your control easier when you start feeling better. Humongous gentle hugs from me.

 

[RosemaryJackson]

Morning all. 7.9 this morning. Must be those 2 chocolate biscuits I had yesterday at club. Will I ever learn???? @MissMuffett, nice to have you back but sorry you are in so much pain. Hope it soon eases. @PenguinMum, hope you will be ok for tomorrow and have a great time.

5.3 this morning had to use finger prick method again this morning ( still waiting for new sensor to arrive ) ....seems to show lower reading that the Libre ...very happy with that number .

 

[Boodicca]

7.2 at 8am, then 7.2 2 hrs after sausage and eggs for brekkie so if I can't get lower than 7 currently I'll settle for stable continuity at least!
