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

Went to see consultant not my usual one got my hba1c results 5.8 absolutely over the moon with that I explained that I’d not had insulin for 24hrs approx and he seemed a bit confused explained to him about weight loss and training daily and lowish carb diet
He’s sent me for GAD test which I brought up after reading a thread a member posted up on my other post turns out I’ve not had one he basically said just keep testing don’t take any long lasting insulin unless i start getting high readings in the morning and no fast acting unless I’m going high obviously after meals which I’m well aware of what to do anyway and just got to give it time now see what happens all a bit of a shock if it turns out I’m not type 1 after all
Thanks

A dark and weatherless morning, can't see a thing except my trusted meter. My unpredicatable BG has decided not to throw a tantrum this morning and she's given me a morning reading of 4.2. I always feel as though the first reading of the day is a bit like going to a short-term fortune teller. Forward we go everyone:happy:
 
5.4

Tired before I start today - weird that you can have a good night's sleep and wake up tired! I'm sure the same thing goes for loads of people but that doesn't make it feel any better...

I officially love our postman! He always stops to say hello to the dogs, but yesterday when Bob told him about Dizzy he asked Bob to pick Tooty up so he could make say a special hello to Dizzy without Madam muscling in and taking over. Mind you, Dizzy is the only dog I've ever had who gets his own Christmas cards from his human friends and neighbours (especially the children) and some of them are people I hardly know!
 
Good morning again it's now 8.10 am went back bed at 5.30 just tested BG again@ 7.55 it was 5.9 looks like I'm on this Merry go round for a while,wouldn't care if I was sat around but I'm never stopped,took my sister for the PIP assessment yesterday what a farce. Some 250,000 people have to be re-assest by either a nurse,physio,paramedic or occupational health no wonder it's in such a state with people having to rely on these people to work out if they qualify or not,then if they don't qualify they have to appeal through the courts which can take upto 3 months before they are seen. How do they expect people to survive without money for that amount of time,it's ludicrous. Sorry for the rant but people are going to end up in such financial situations through no fault of there own! K

My GP decided to order a GAD test for me. That was six months ago. It was on the blood draw order with my HBA1C cause the nurse had never seen the code, but NHS Wales never did it. At a follow-up appt with the GP he was annoyed, put it in the next blood draw order again and it didn’t happen, again.

I have another HBA1C blood draw tomorrow. Going to ask if it’s still in the order. So NHS Wales can refuse yet again. Grrrr.

I have hopes that this HBA1C won’t be as high as my last at 76.

6.4 this morning.
