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

Five point seven this morning

Yesterday I shared a bottle of wine

It seems the only way I can get to the fives is to have a drink or two.

Not that’s why I drank of course

But makes you think eh ???
 
7.7 this morning, my 6s seem a distant memory at the moment. I do feel very run down and have again contact dermatitis flare up on my calf and thigh. Perhaps that's why. The water where I live makes my skin really dry despite having filters on our water system. Just changed them so hopefully better.
 
12.2, retested other hand - 10.8

Likely causes include:

Overdoing it yesterday as daughter home from uni.

Eating more carbs than usual, including sushi which didn't spike BG significantly itself but overall a rather carby day.

Possibly incubating cold which hubby had a few days ago.

Feeling rather run down, was bitten by an insect and eczema has flared up in that area.

Lack of sleep. Went to bed "tired but wired".

Eating v late. Wasn't really hungry but needed food with meds. Put it off for a few hours hoping hunger would kick in but it never did.
