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

I stay away from sausages and all processed meats, even when I am traveling.
 
My morning reading following half a bottle of wine the previous evening I view as kind of academic as it doesn’t happen often. Four point nine
 
Morning All 8.4 which is disheartening again. Had Thai tapas yesterday and managed to get them to swap the rice for stirfried veg but inevitably there would have been sweetness in the other dishes. That was at 2pm so would have expected to be over it by now. Eating out is a minefield and I don’t want to ruin it for my companions. Out again today for Sunday lunch with son & DIL.
Happy Sunday everyone.
 
I’m back! Didn’t check my glucose today because yesterday was a very long travel day (or two) and food was just strange. The holiday was great and food was fairly good. I did sneak a few bites of goodies…but they were just bites. I had more fruit than usual, mostly because the fresh strawberries in Egypt were amazing! I ate a lot of cheese
blood sugar was higher than normal (i didn't check often) but never terrible. The last few days it was normal for me.
tomorrow I’ll do my glucose reading and hope I’m normal….
hope everyone is well.
 
Morning All 8.8 which is scary after a roast lamb lunch at 2.30pm yesterday, no roasties, yorkies, only veg, cauli cheese and a little gravy. Last food of the day. Thinking of putting on a Libre as have been high lately just to see if there is any useful info. Sorry to rant. Happy Monday everyone.
