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

Hmmm… 4.8 Dexcom, 5.8 blood test. Usually they are very close. I do know my blood sugar changes very quickly when I get up.
Yoga and abs today then a quick 15 bike ride to glucose down ….it worked. Sitting below 6 all day. Three days of amazing results. I feel the bubble shall burst…
Another cool day but the summer heat is returning soon. It’s not so bad on late summer as the nights do cool nicely.
 
6.5 today. I need some tips on how to lose some weight. I lost 35 kilos in the first year after diagnosis but for the past couple of years I have been living with anxiety and my weight is just going up and up. I've put on 10 kilos and gone up 2 dress sizes. This weight gain needs to stop as it makes me uncomfortable I feel it does have a negative impact on blood sugars. However I can't remember what I did to achieve the weight loss in the first place it seemed it was done without effort. I do remember being careful what I ate and being very motivated and the weight just dropped off. I am still very careful what I eat it's just the motivation I'm struggling with. Losing weight this time round is going to take much more effort.
