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

Just returning to the 6's at 6.9 today. Been pretty ropey all weekend, sore throat and heavy cold. Not eaten much either except sore throat lozenges of which I suspect are high sugar contributing to above average readings. Looking like things returning slowly back to normal thank goodness as despite only being a cold it tends to sap any enthusiasm.
 
sucess bloods got done also got flu jag out the way due to someone being a no show

will see what results show. flu jag wasnt bad. bloods were pretty difficult. just over hour out of the way for another 3+ months hopefully now full sets done rather than maybe needing to pop back later. 6mg diazapan emla cream. braved the flu jag first without emla :0 glad i asked if could get out of way at the same time delighted they were able to oblidge. sugars starting to come down a little now been lot higher than have been after breakfast for a while, guessing stress. fingers crossed for hba1c and lipid profile. hoping they are down a little more to off put statins which gp wished me to take.

apparently to ensure drink a fair bit more than usual for couple of days due to getting the flu jag?

glad your starting to go on the mend @ChrisT2
