6.0 today. The sun is trying hard to break through the clouds and it’s warming up slowly. Gym today and then some groceries. Prices are crazy…Trumps tariffs will make it much worse, two days away.
edit time , seems trump has delayed the tariffs once again…a fun little game he plays. Looks like we’re good until April.

6.6 this morning but I see that as a success bearing in mind how much I had to eat yesterday. OH was having a day case procedure carried out. He couldn't eat after 7:00 am and didn't go down to theatre until after 6 in the evening, got home after 8 pm. So whilst he wasn't allowed to eat,, I was waiting in the house, not allowed to be with him, keeping myself occupied by eating anything and everything low carb that was in the fridge.. OH now recovering well, if a little sore at the wound site.

Hello mates,
At a couple of the other forums I've frequented there was a thread like this one where we all sorta checked in each day, with our first cup of coffee or tea, and reported our fasting or waking blood glucose level and some short comment about whether we're ok with it or if not - why not?...

It worked well as a sort of 'first thread to check' each morning and post to.

I'll start.

This morning was a 5.6mmol for me. That's about normal for me

What about you?

Mine are all higher than most others I’ve read. Last time I ate was last night about 9pm and I’ve only had water to drink since then. I’ve just taken my reading and it’s 9.7. This is fairly average for me. I feel unwell most of the time but doctor is reluctant to increase the metformin because I already have side effects. I also take Atorvastatin, Ramipril and a multivitamin and mineral plus a few other things. I am confused and beginning to get upset about it all.

5.9 this morning. Dropped into Costco on the way home and noticed a HUGE increase in coffee prices! The world is going crazy……oh, looks like tariffs are back on for next week…such a game he plays.

 

[OrsonKartt]

Try not to worry over other people's readings we are all dealing with the same condition but have many different factors that affect our BG . Also medication is just one thing that helps control this swine called diabetes . My apologies to pigs lol

Morning All 8.3 today which is horrible. Have had sore ear for a couple of weeks and it turns out I have a perforated eardrum. No clue how! Hope it isn’t raising my BG. Happy Friday everyone.
