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

Been all over the place today. Woke nicely at 5.4@4.30am, it had risen to 5.7 by 5.30 when I got out of bed.
Had a two egg omelette with butter and some mattesons pork sausage so hardly any carbs.
Rose to 10.0 @ 10.30am.
1pm was 8.3 and by 3pm 6.4. By dinner time at 5.30 I was 6.3.

The rise into double figures baffles me as I thought I would have combatted the liver dump with breakfast. It was the first day back at work so a bit more active in the morning, and I have a sore throat so could it be I went that high due to my throat?

Aspartame is an artificial sweetner. It is not broken down to glucose and so does not affect blood glucose levels unlike sugar or sucrose

@Ymdawd rayhigginson has similar problems to you has his job takes him on the road with having to look for what to eat,consequently he's having a few problems with BG levels, the drinks he has I thought may be one of his problems but I'm not familiar with all sugar substitutes names and I don't drink fizzy drinks, but thanks for the information on aspartame. I've asked him to ask questions about any problems he has so hopefully he will. Thanks again and hope your now much better since your last illness! K
 
Hi everyone BG this morning @4:20 was 6.2
On it's way down again and hopefully will carry on doing so!K

Thanks K...have irregular appointments there depending on how my INR levels are...sometimes every week...two weeks and so on...even occasionally every couple of days...hate missing them...rearranging appointments...however...in my frame of mind better to rearrange for me & the clinician ...not receptive to inexperience or unexplained delays today...no...definitely not today!
