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

[SueJB]

Morning all. Fours didn’t last long, 5.1 today. Been on zero carbs for a bit over a week now and blood sugars are slightly up, might be the extra protein.

I didn't realise protein puts up BG

5.5 hurrah! Feel like dancing.

Madam BG and me went to bed on 6.3 and got up the same. Now there's weird!
Onwards and downwards, keep struggling against that tide

Haha just as I was reading your reply they were playing ‘Sugar Sugar’ by the Archies on the radio- how apprpriate!

7.0 this morning, not sure why that bounced up as went to bed on 6.1.

5.5 again today. I would have been pleased with that 3 years ago. When I started I took 5.5 or less as benchmark. I now have plenty of evidence to know I can do better so not so pleased. Anyhow, 2 out of 3 pieces of data this morning at or below benchmark so tweaks rather than major changes needed. @Goonergal let us know how no carbs goes - fascinated by your "exit strategy"! Some of the fbg lift probably due to stress of work - the old curse of the drinking class!

Morening all a brilliant 7.1 for me this, l'm guessing oversleeping and running late on chores Mrs J has left me lowers my blood sugars. Must go lists of jobs to misplace.
