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

5.9 today. It’s a rainy and cool day today, rather nice after the hot and dry last few days.
Blood sugar still higher than I’d like after the gym. I did some treadmill, stairclimber and upper body weights today. Then I walked through Costco before lunch. Measured glucose at 6.6 before I ate. Breakfast was a grass fed sugar free beef stick and coffee with butter.
 
For weeks my BG has been in the low 5s, not done every day but on average 2-3 mornings a week just to check.
This morning is 7.5! But I’ve just been diagnosed with shingles……in my big toe of all places and the rash is creeping up my foot. My foot, ankle and lower leg are very swollen so am I correct in thinking the inflammation is causing the rise in my BG reading? Very low carbs still being consumed. And I’m feeling sorry for myself!
 
I find any infection causes my BG to rise.
 
5.9 fingerblood 4.7 libre went upto 5.4 after up and about for about 10-15 minutes. wee swim today 1/2 mile pool got super busy went a little later than norm. waiting on a nice wee dry spell to go a short walk
 
6.0 today. There’s a wee bit of sun out there but otherwise a cooler than normal summer day. I will take full advantage and get some gardening done. There’s a heat wave coming and I’m not looking forward to that!
