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

good morning all :)

4.4 today

not much chance of our blackberries ripening today, forecast is for a cloudy max. of 16'C and we have a healthy breeze - that's ok for shopping though which is necessary because the LCHF cupboard is a bit bare and the freezer is mostly full of fruit currently :sorry:

have a good weekend everyone :)

Hope you're ok @karen8967

@Bubbsie lovely recipe for clafoutis thank you, I'll have a go :)

Good morning all. BG 5.1. Been watching the crossfit games on Netflix. Amazing specimen of human beings. Its a cross between strong woman/man, triathlon and circuit training, with a few oddball sports thrown in for fun. Interesting. As for me, I am going for a long walk today. Have a good Saturday.

5.5 for me today but now lowest weight ever - even after really bad time with chickenpox back in the day. Looks to me like this WOE is excellent for weight control/loss but once bg moderately controlled very hit and miss. I am pretty sure that the metformin effect is out of my system after over a month so I am controlling by diet and exercise. The caveat here is the weather has had an effect on my exercise levels so as it cools there may be a change. Hrs of sleep and resting pulse rate are both better over the month so that is good.
No idea if that is useful to anyone or a waste of board space.:angelic:
For a better ending, @Goonergal, @geefull and @shelley262 great numbers and perfect counterbalance :)
 
5.5.today. Happy.

Out of the 4s at the mo. I think it's because I'm not losing weight but trying to maintain so perhaps eating a little more. Including a supper of a couple of pieces of 85% choc. Also less walking at the moment. But it's all in a great cause!!! #birminghamevent #timeforchange #bringiton
 
Good morning everyone I didn’t post last night as I had sickness and stomach pains again thankfully I took some cyclizine and within 15 minutes I was out for the count. I bought a lovely mustard cardigan yesterday from Primark I love all the autumn clothes. Anyway today’s BG is 4.9 not in the mood to eat just yet as I’m having stomach pains but sipping on some diluted orange juice

@ziggy we went away for a break last week for a week and when we came back my levels were in the 7's for some reason, did have some wine so could have been that. I have never had anything below 5 as yet since diagnoses 5 months ago and was hoping for that. But i will get back to doing the morning one's i just felt i was getting obsessed with it. Thanks for your advise , greatly appreciate it.

@Moggely best of luck
 
4.5 at 4:30 AM but 5.5 before breakfast 8.7 at bed time last night after scampi and chips from the chip shop as had been visiting friends and the chip shop was the only thing available by the time we got back.

Been a bit lax this week as son is staying for a few days and he is not diabetic and eats normal food so have had to cook more carby food will be back on track next week.

The weather/heat is playing havoc with my BG's Ian...woke on a 6.3...had a coffee & a couple of cheese biscuits (total of 2.4 carbs) just so I had something to fuel my walk...walked Harry for a mile and a half...home...tested at 6.7...there isn't much I can do about it...will have to wait for the Autumn which cannot come quickly enough for me.
