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

libre: 5.6
managed to get off the isle and home umpteen hours later. left 9.15am home 7:30pm.long day. glad ferry was able to make a few runs. was informed if didn't attend clinic might be another couple of months wait. spinal steriod injection was done. little bit tender this time around after the local anesthic wore off. can take a little bit of time before starts to work.

asked the consultant a few questions whilst there effect on sugars alongside what was actually used. mostly positive responses. just to expect sugars raised but shouldnt be 'by too much' for a couple of weeks. very long half life for dexmethasome (steriod/cortisol prob butchered spelling). 2 jags the main one wasnt too bad after the initital local was done (lidocaine same as what dentists use apparently). This one was different steriod than the last. apparently should work for a little longer. got to sign consent before get it done states a fair few risks.

interesting effect on sugars just prior to having done and for first few hours raised a fair bit prob stress/anxiety adding to it settled down several hours later to a little above my normal. before arrived hosp 4.7! 6.5 before injection upto 11.9 staying put for a couple of hours before starting to come back down, no food til got home. had a half loaf size (400g) wholemeal bread Single Slice 9g carbs with cheese for dinner not the best choice for evening meal but hey ho couldnt be faffed cooking.

eaten a semi decent breakfast sugars currently 9.2 rising. single wheatabix and some scambeld egg alongside usual coffee :)

one time I will do the savoury, the next i'll do the dessert. Its my way of being able to cook dessert which I enjoy cooking and not have to eat it, which I cant. We are supposed to alternate, this year I should have been doing the dessert, but no for the 3rd year in a row.

would be nice if the other person put some effort in. I will be there from about 08:30 she will saunter in about 10:30 if not later. When its her turn to do the savoury, she will saunter in and dump the veg on the bench expecting someone else to prepare them. I get a bit fed up at times. To top it all, this year, the environmental officer may turn up. to grade us.

Dessert - it will be Christmas pud (the microwavable kind,) with brandy sauce.
Wish me luck!

hope all goes well today good luck :)

have done a lot of cooking/baking for various friends alongside coffee mornings etc always put in a fair bit of effort here to ensure that everyones dietry needs are catered for allergies/glutenfree/sugar free etc. would be nice if they like your doing veggie option. hopefully they endeavour to make yourself something fairly lowcarb so included and don't have to perhaps pass on dessert. enjoy ps maybe the env officer not emailing means perhaps wont just be turning up :)

ps i posted a relatively lowcarb cheesecake recipe a wee while back if enjoy baking perhaps thats something your body could handle Very very light and morish filling :)
