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

Goonergal said:
Sure is! First time I tried 90% chocolate it was very too bitter. Now even 100% is easy to eat too much of.

Day started well as they got blood out of my arm, which is a rarity. First try too.

Congrats on your 4.7.

Nice one on the blood draw - literally feel your pain with that - there is one nurse who can get blood out of me without multiple attempts, so I always ask for her now!

Good morning....7.6!
Had a very eventful day yesterday......a bad fall in our kitchen resulting in two fractures,right leg.Fell at 3.15, long wait for ambulance,even though I'd been lying on the floor for some time and was very shocked and cold when I could raise the alarm.We arrived home at 10 pm,with a pair of crutches and a plaster cast from toes to knee.I'm not able to use the crutches because of all over soreness and the weight of the cast so I'm in bed today, feeling sorry for myself!:(

Ouch, Glenmac. What a horrible thing to happen. Hope you are soon feeling more comfortable. Take care.:)

@Cumberland and @philchap1 Thankyou for your concern.Its ironic that it was the snow and ice which worried me,and then I slip on an onion skin in the kitchen.At least it wasn't a banana skin,and I've lots of low carb food for us to eat.

My heart sank when I got there as the guy who called me in usually has multiple attempts and is the worst phlebotomist at the surgery, but he managed to get it right today. I’d been to the gym and drunk a lot of water so that might have helped too.

They tell me to drink loads too and I have to arrive in gloves hat and scarf so I'm hot enough - so your gym visit was a good move. Glad for you he got it right first time.
