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

4.3 this morning.

Hit an interesting 3.7 before tea last night - long day and later tea as I had a parents evening - but I'm never usually below 4. Fast BG is also creeping lower - mostly 4.2/4.3 these days. Might be time to re-think metformin - was going to have a general medication chat with Dr next week - something to consider.
 
Morning! 6.9 for me, I barely slept last night, maybe 1-2 hours max. Getting ready for a long day of probably high and wonky bloodsugars, sigh.

Rubbish 7.8

Low carb’ed for last few days -but seem to be having bad reaction to pneumonia jab (never had one before). Arm very sore and feeling generally rubbish, been back to Doc’s once and might have to go again today
I'm sorry! The flu shot can definitely make you feel under the weather, but it should only last a couple of days (I'm usually feeling tons better after 3 days or so). If it feels rough, just remember it sure beats dying of pneumonia.
 

Oh for sure! Interestingly flu shot in one arm was fine - the other arm with the pneumonia shot has had a dull ache constantly. Will take anti histamine and pain killers and hopefully it will passs ......
 
Lovely photo - we need smellivision!

Best of luck for the procedure .
