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

[LivingLightly]

5.2 on the Dexcom.
I'm very new to not having Dawn phenomenon and double figure fasting readings. Long may it reign and may Dawn keep her nose out of my blood sugar!

Greetings @watergypsy. Welcome to our forum and this FBG thread. We're pleased you could join us.

It helps to focus on the many delicious foods we can safely eat and not dwell too much on those high carb 'goodies' that we really shouldn't have.

Once again, welcome.

I’m so sick…..hubby brought home the very worst cold/flu that I’ve ever had! I haven’t been sick at all for two years and this is killing me….
no food until supper, blood sugar before I ate was 7.3, yikes!
I'm hoping for sleep tonight but not counting on it, same as last night…I feel no better now than last night, that’s unusual.
I'm mad as a hornet.

Take care everyone and stay safe.

Morning All I will whisper it ….8.1 fgs! Will be more vigilent today.

7.6 this morning but just for once I know why. I still have the phrase "for goodness sake, stop being so picky and bl***y eat it!!" ringing in my ears. However the meat pie, mountain of mashed potato followed by jam sponge pudding and custard was a guilty pleasure. Later the BS reading of 12.4 mmol on Libre which would have been probably 14 on the meter I hope was a one off but just goes to show what a massive influence diet has on us.
Good luck to all those struggling keeping figures low, I feel your pain.

Another grey one eh?

Even with the yellows and reds of the few remaining leaves it still shouts hunker down

6.3 on the finger stabbing devise

Have a good day if you possibly can

 

[watergypsy]

6.8. I'll take it today. Got a few days off work so can walk that down a bit!

 

[RosemaryJackson]

7.4 today. Up a bit... down a bit... I can't cope!!!

Guess who’s still sick…a nasty 7.8 this morning…uggg
my only food yesterday was a cup of homemade chicken bone broth, six chicken wing halves. That’s it…
Happily the Tylenol cold medication seemed to work last night and I was able to get some relief. Really am feeling a touch better this morning and even feel like I could go for a walk.

Good morning
Libre 5.1
Off to the gym at 7 for a light workout before work
Back at hospital for a lung function & 6 minutes walk test (outside I can manage 650m) this afternoon
Take care everyone & hugs to all in need

7.1 this morning but back on the vampire blood letting measurements as Libre is no more. Would have liked better reading but all things considered could be worse. Enjoy your Friday POETS day.

6.7 today.

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All so 7.8 better than yesterday but no way good enough. Discovered the remaining Marmite peanuts but that’s it, not going in the trolley again.
@Bcgirl that sounds like a nasty virus take good care. Happy Friday everyone.

6.5 today , holiday blip over . Nearly the weekend

 

[watergypsy]

5.2. Which is great considering I oopsed and ran out of Toujeo last night so only got 74 units of my normal 110.
Moving the boat today to the town for the winter, so a nice 4 hour canal cruise and then a long walk back to fetch the car is planned.

 

[DEBBIESCOTT]

Libre 5.2
Take care everyone

6.1 this morning, its another murky day here. Makes me not want to do anything apart from curl up with a good book for a couple of hours and drift off.

 

[RosemaryJackson]

Morning all. 7.5 for me today. Have a funky friday.
