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

5.7 bit higher than recently no idea why loads of exercise yesterday went to bed at 4.8. so confused.
on another note i got a reply for my FOI request. Do the NHS always wait until the VERY LAST DAY before they bother their shirts to reply?

"Request:

Which hospitals can do hba1c alongside lipid profile tests via finger prick rather than
having to go get done via vein access."

the reply: "There is limited availability of finger prick HbA1c analysis. It is available in some Diabetic
clinics: a, b, c, d" 3 out of the 4 clinics state children only. Wonder what the DSN at the clinic I attend is going to say... I emailed her the response. She is at 2 diabetic clinics that offer that service and swore blind that she has never ever heard of hba1c getting done by a fingerprick :O

For the lipid profile fingerprick part of the reply "We can tell you there is no general availability of finger prick Lipid analysis in NHSxxxx other than for screening patients in clinical research."

Wondering how to go about signing up for some 'research' going to ask that would save days of nightmares, panic attacks, hyperventalating, passing out unable to look at draw site for several weeks afterwards.

No further forward with appt for help with the phobia :( consultant wont look at the privately done lab results got done recently via fingerprick method.

Currently six point eight

Yesterday afternoon was spent cooking and eating bbq and drinking wine

I did make a salad but passed on the greenness

I also made a thin almond flour “sponge” heavily coated with mascapone and topped with slices of strawberries which I did dig into in all it’s deliciousness

Cake sounds delicious :)
 
7.7 again on meter this morning which is pretty good seeing as I can't do any exercise even walking . Only pottering as my Gyni/ surgeon told me ....and believe me I am listening to her ....never want to go through surgery again ( unless it is to save my life ) .
 
6.3 this morning and had the signs of a migraine yesterday with no pain so took a paracetamol & codeine and it stopped the waterfall eyes. Woke up with headache dodgy eye, so have take one para/codeine, but may have to take another :arghh:

codeine by itself or is it co-codomal your taking. If its co-codomal that contains paracetomal already so careful not to take much. If co-codomal you cant then take paracetomal alongside it. hope the meds eased up the headache.
