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

[ChrisT2]

8.2 yesterday and 7.7 this morning ...have just managed to rip my sensor off on the doorframe of the cupboard I was cleaning . I knew there is a reason I hate cleaning .

I have suffered with similar problem, once knocking patch off early on where Abbott kindly replaced free of charge and another 4 days from end where it was hanging on for dear life before eventually falling off. Considering cost of CGMs I bought a packet of those "Not Just a Patch" transparent patches from Amazon. Cost just short of £20 for 20 and apparently stay stuck for 10-14 days. I put the patch on about 4 days in and so far the last 2 have lasted until the CGM stops. They do stay stuck pretty good and although add on another quid to the CGM price I consider worth it as long as it keeps the patch in place which it seems to do.

7.2 - Feeling GOOD, that I’m out of the grip of the hateful 8s.

Having an API this morning then taking a TAXI to a couple for “tea”. NHS slowly waking up to the fact I require more than a little support.

4.2 this morning at 0500. A one off as never usually that early as had to be up for work at silly o'clock. Did a blood prick finger just now and 8.1 back on usual morning climb.

Morning all. 5.9!! Yippee!!! In the 5's at last. Without meds too. Let's hope I can keep it up. Have a nice day all.

Neck still very sore. Contemplating going home early…..I’ll give it one more day but darn, this hurts! Didn’t test blood this morning, I’ll bet it’s higher than normal. I don’t have any numbness or tingling in my arms so I don’t think it’s discs or a pinched nerve…never had anything like this happen before.

Hi All busy morning so late post. Glad to be one whole point lower than the last three days at 7.2 even though I hate 7s but not as much as 8s.
Take care all, stay well.

I think I might consider getting some

Yikes, 7.2 this morning. Neck is slightly better today. Last night was brutal, I was dreaming I had a concrete lions head on my shoulder…woke up in tears. I took yet another pain pill, propped myself up and fell asleep….slow and steady today.
