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

7.1 at 4.45 am. Tested as feeling really unwell and hypo-ish so was surprised by this result. Back to bed to try and get some sleep. Have a good Tuesday one and all.

7,1 mmol this morning.

A combination of too many carbs last night and the stress of having a chest and abdomen scan this morning

The barrage of medical tests I have been having to do lately is begining to get me down a bid.

No morning walk today. If all goes well I will make up for it tonight.

So I leave you with a couple of photos of some sea faffodils Pancratium maritimum from my trip on Sunday. They grow wild where they have no business to do so on sandy and beaches exposed to the salty sea air.

Update: sugars came down to 5, 9 by 7 am without the aid of a walk or medication. I was asked not to take metformin (Glucophage today) as in combination with the "dye" they will inject to carry out the scan it could be harmful to my kidneys.
Goodluck
 
Morning all. I can't say I'm a fan of the light- less evenings and mornings . I had to use the lights on my bike at 6.30 last night ! ....... but sugars at 5 this morning
 
5.1 today and happy birthday @PenfoldAPD.

Went to doctors yesterday killed not two but three birds with one stone figuratively, had flu jab, booked diabetic bloods for tomorrow and picked up the form for Internet access.

Flu jab making me feel a little off this morning sore throat aches and pains etc.

Sorry to be the harbinger of doom but better get used to it. All we have to look forward to for the foreseeable future is more of the same, oh yes and a lot colder too. Plus best of all, adverts for the DFS sale in December -OOOHHHHH GOOODDDDDEEEE :)
