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

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.
 
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.
 
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.
