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


The sea spray does take a while to clear you out. At first I was using it 3-4 times a day. Now very rarely. Just when I feel bungled up. Hope you're better soon.
 
good morning all

5.0 today

a little bit higher than usual for me but I was awake a couple of hours earlier and lay dozing and then forgot and drank some of a cup of tea before testing so I'm putting it down to that though I had a bit more protein yesterday than usual (Yummy roast pork!)

I'm trying to tweak my food intake up a bit now I'm getting to a reasonable weight and balancing things is a bit of a task isn't it after having a very good idea of exactly what I could/would eat to have a small calorie deficit?

Balancing things for the long term is the new task looking in the mirror and seeing myself half the size I was is still a bit of a surprise some days
 
Get well soon Granny.
 


Weather dark and gloomy here too though sun did break through briefly this morningn long enough for me to shot this photo. The dramatically lid landscapes (the back garden in this case) against broody skies are amongst my favorite photos.

Hope you are better soon @

Can anybody watch the spectacle! K



Kathleen me darlin' you were right when you said I was nesh. I just couldn't go through with it. The dutiful diabetic does not take chances with their feet. With this in mind my doggie went completely nude and I went out in only a pair of leopard skin print carpet slippers. My podiatrist will love me forever more
 
My wife has just pulled back the curtains. Its dull very cloudy and most likely cold. And I have the family car pool ( four cars ) to wash this morning.


Please ensure that you wear rubber gloves. If not the skin on your fingers will go really wrinkly with all the soap and water. That will really ruin your blood testing finger
 
Your numbers look good compared to mine,geefull.....I've reached my target weight,so have been tweaking the carbs to see how things go.My morning readings are a wee bit high,so I'll have a re think............. I still look in the mirror and wonder who this little granny is with the white hair.She reminds me of my mother when she was an old lady.It can't be me because in my head I'm in my thirties!
 
Good morning all you lovely people. Woke up at 4.6 after the first decent night of sleep this week and now feel so much more energetic.

Well done ziggy_w!! K
