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

6.5 on this hot and sunny day
Ok, this holiday is cursed! Just as my neck has returned to normal, hubby woke up with nausea and vertigo this morning….he NEVER gets sick! As much as I love walking this gorgeous beach and just relaxing, I am looking forward to being home…..dang it! I’m going to go poke his finger, I’m sure he’s fine but one symptom of morning nausea and vertigo is low blood sugar…pretty sure he’s fine.

edited to add that I just poked him and his fasting blood sugar is 7.5, and he’s not diabetic. I think he may have eaten or drank something not right…even though we don’t eat out. Maybe he somehow invested tap water….uggg. Just need him to feel better soon.

5.3 today newly diagnosed and feels like a massive result from levels in the twenties. Exercising lots, eating little and a bit scared. Hopefully eating will feel safer soon with increased awareness. I'm so pleased to find this community. Thank you for being here
 
Morning All so 7.4 yesterday and same today. I’m another one who wakes several times and often struggle to get back to sleep in the night. I’m sure it isn’t good for BG either. Then often need a cat nap with a cat in the afternoon!
Stay safe, stay or get well all.

That is very low the lowest I have managed was 50 and only for one day ...when taking care of myself ( which I am not at the moment ) I try and stay around the 80 to 100 carbs a day with plenty of exercise .

Another nice low of 5.2 today. Like yourself this is very rare for me but it seems to be the low carbs (below 30g) over last few days. My usual carb intake is often around the 100g mark or even higher despite efforts to keep it low. Unfortunately it is a one off as diet managed by myself last few days with minimal eating and able to choose and prepare my own foods. Back to normal family eating and duties today and I will strive to keep the carbs and my BS low but as we all know it is a balancing act that we have to tackle.Power to all in your daily battles with this disease.
 
Morning all. 6.3 this morning! It was 5.7 when I went to bed! But explain this to me please. Because I couldnt go to the Lunch club Christmas lunch because of illness, my friend brought it home for me. I ate pate with 3 triangles of toast; Turkey, sprouts, parsnips,carrots,3 small roast potatoes; small piece of Christmas pudding with custard; small hm mince pie and an After8. I ate the lot about 4pm and my bedtime bg was 5.7. How?? And this morning 6.3?? I will never get a handle on this Diabetes. I just don't understand how it works anymore.
 
6.8 this morning and back in the 5s during the day, even after a work out on Monday. Just bizarre as I that rarely happens. I have been drinking green tea again and not eating salad, my appetite has not been what is was and I am not eating half of what I did, that might have something to do with it. Off for a work out
 
Cat nap with the cat.... Our Vicky was just rubbing up against my legs while I was contemplating a lie down. Hmm. Great minds.
 
Call it a Christmas miracle, and take the win.
 
Well done
