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

WhenI woke today I was 6.1.
Yes, I cheated last night and had ice cream. The crazy thing is that I was 5.3 when I went to bed. Sunrise effect hasn't been so large in a while. I've been working to keep the numbers low, but Hurricane Irma really did a number on my control. 4 days/nights at work and everything to eat was high carb. All the cravings came back. Getting back on track is no fun. Trying to plan better in case another hurricane hits.
 
Lets all hope that lot that is brewing off the east coast and Caribbean do not give you problems.
Maria. Yes, I'm watching it and refuse to get out the ladder to take down the second story metal shutters. Some people I work with have vowed not to take theirs down until Christmas.
 
Buenos días a todos mi rebaño de canarios bastante diabéticos. This morning I paid for a consultation with the famous clairvoyant Lady With A Pin. In a trance like state she told the way to San Jose. She told me what would win the Grand National horse race in 1986. She also told me that my blood sugars are 3.4mmols. This comes on the back of a doosey of a hypo at 2.00am this morning which has taken a hell of a lot out of me and I have the mother of all headaches. I must away for doggie walking and then it's work, work that dirty 4 letter word. Good day to you all.
 
Nor grumpy
 
Feeling better rocks. The weight will come off. We're all different and it might take time, but it will happen...
 
A nasty 6.6 this morning not been very well the last few days. Cold now bronchitis and not to go into too much detail but imodium can raise blood sugars too.
Sorry to hear you're poorly honey, take care. Hope yo hear you're on the mend soon.
 
Cycas rumphii, commonly known as queen sago or the queen sago palm in my garden.

5,8 on waking after a stressful day yesterday involving doctor's appointments and tests. Have a few more of these to do but so far so not so terrible.

Usual 5km morning walk brought glucose down to 4,6 mmol/l before breakfast.

Have a great day

Recognising that you've struggled is part of the battle. Don't beat yourself up, a hurricane is one hell of a curve ball to face.. Good luck honey
 
Stay safe honey, and cuddle to puppy (name?)
