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

[ChrisT2]

6.8 on finger this morning. Higher than previous readings but they were on Libre. Happy with that as still steady and the weekend is just around the corner.

6.7 this morning, not bad after a nice meal out last night

Good morning
Libre 5.6
Made chicken carbonara last night & had some of that shredded cardboard with it bg rose from 5 to 6 than back in the 5’s, great big bowl & many calories but definitely worth it

Morning All so up to 7.4 but will try to get back in the stickies asap. Agree with @ChrisT2 tried spaghetti alternatives and really yuk esp courgetti! I occasionally allow myself 2oz spaghetti with Bolognese and it isn’t too much to worry about. Happy weekend everyone.

Not the dp, more like the shock of having to pay for a new exhaust.

6.6 this morning at 5 am. Was in the bathroom trying not to wake up hubby, dropped the meter and eventually got a reading. This was all in the dark as the light bulb went as I walked in!

How I wish I could get away with an occasional modest helping of traditional spaghetti. Alas, some of us can't. If you can @PenguinMum, and a small portion every once in a while works for you, then that's great.

I'm not a fan of Konjac, but spiralised courgettes have enabled us to continue enjoying all our favourite Italian pasta dishes; the recipes I turn to time and again especially when in a hurry.

Morning all

Cold and grey here

Woke up to a six made myself a black tea then get a 6.8

Looking forward to going out to lunch with old friends. - I’m grateful as my other half has Alzheimer’s and it’s a challenge.

Have a great day if you possibly can

Libre 6.1
Not surprising really
Husband in one hospital & mum pressed her lifeline at midnight & has to rush to her & wait for the ambulance, finally got to back to bed at 4, in different hospitals 40 miles apart, will be visiting both today
Take care everyone

If I go hell for leather with cardio, my bg levels increase more however today I tested after a 40 minute not to intense spin session with weights and my level was 5.3. I have decided to take it easy for a bit whilst working out as I like the 5s and 4s

It's a case of finding what works for you and as we know none of us react exactly the same way to either food or exercise .

 

[ChrisT2]

8.4 this morning, a bit on the high side but never tested until 9am as had a decent lie in. Unfortunately my morning readings go from a reasonable 6 mmol up to around 11 mmol at 1 PM irrespective of what I eat or do re. exercise so just caught the rise on the curve.

Having my Covid and Flu jabs later today so not looking forward to that but interested in an "anoraky" sort of way to see if they affect my readings.
Enjoy the weekend wherever you are.

Morning all. Back in the stickies for me . 6.9. You could be right @ChrisT2, because my car is 20 years old it cost more than I bargained for. Looking on the bright side, it will outlast me! Have a happy weekend all.

Berries were frozen Summer Berries from supermarket. As for spag bol it was venison meatballs with onions and tomato puree, reckon it is the spaghetti that does the damage. Shame really as I don't like pasta much anyway but spaghetti is OK once in a while but maybe not so much now. Did try soy bean spaghetti a few weeks back but taste and texture not good (like eating shredded dish cloth) so spaghetti firmly on the bad list.

I tried those konjac ( think that's right ) noodles and they too were awful ....like chewing elastic bands

 

[mojo37]

7.2 this morning back with Libre ...numbers didn't rise above 8.8 yesterday so that was good .

Take care everyone and have the best weekend possible.

6.1 this morning. -

Morning all. Don't know what I did wrong but it was 7.4 this morning. It's a daily duel with this diabetic daemon! but I do win occasionally.
