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

No it can depend on the potency of the cream and how long you are using it also or so I was told by my GP.

Though must add that I have used Canesten HC cream for a short period with no ill effects my doctor was hesitant to prescribe it as had already taken me off my preventer inhaler as he thought I was getting too much steroids in my system on top of my preds.
 
Morning all, 5.0 for me today. good news about the low card diet plan. I have been on a low carb diet (sort of) and I have dropped three tablets and lost 1kg in weight. My blood reading have also dropped quite a bit in the last 6 months so hopefully this will continue. :). Have a good day all.
 
Morning...still waiting for the rain & the cooler weather...where is it?...another diabetes ambush....I woke to a 6.9 ...my BG and the weather are definitely in alignment...I refuse to panic … that's what they want the &*^%$£:)

So I've just managed 3 days in a row with all my daily tests averaging under 6 (pre and post meal). Today was a slight cheat though because I accidentally left my meter at home so missed a few tests.
That said at dinner (veg stir fry, with baked salmon) I had half a bag of prawn crackers (no rice or noodles) and plenty of sweet chilli sauce and a couple of squares of dark chocolate for my pudding...I only went up from 5.9 to 6.3....happy days.
Certainly an improvement today on yesterday when I just felt sluggish, tired and a bit miserable all day - a hangover from doing too much exercise and getting too much sun on Sunday I think.
Goodnight fellow finger-spikers.

That’s not cheating that’s fasting! Frankly Ziggy you have so much to put up with that no one could ever accuse you of cheating- your posts help me keep my own challenges in perspective- hope you have a pain free day.
 
Morning all 5.7 today - not good but signs of recovery. I need some cheery news, noticed it is getting dark much earlier so 8-9 months of cold. dark conditions and stupid amounts of clothing on the way - worst of all actually sleeping inside the duvet. I love cheering people up in the morning:angelic:
As @rhubarb73 said, @Ziggy2017 you help us all keep things in perspective - (but I still can't find any way to like autumn or winter and most of spring)
 
good morning all :)

4.5 today

no idea what the weather is going to do today, it turned out hot yesterday but we managed a bit of gardening at mum's anyway. I'm doing an extra morning at the charity shop today to cover for holidays so I hope it's not too cool (no heating on at this time of year).

Hope your day is a good one :)

@ianpspurs I'm not a great fan of winter either :(

Thanks @Terrytiddy. I am onboard with the view that LC may be fine for cholesterol and my own numbers support that. Fasting for longer periods may be less helpful - LDL and ratios are fine in my case but Trigs are not where I want them - fasting is not for me anymore. Trigs are fine in my case but are better without fasting so it goes. Other people may be fine so I just wondered as some things I read suggested that link i.e. fasting and even IF raising cholesterol.

Interesting and @Terrytiddy thank you for link I love a good lecture about cholesterol now and will watch it later - what am I like!

Love your - hope it’s not too cool- @geefull so speaks someone who has lost a lot of her internal central heating or extra body fat layers! Iwhen bigger I never used to feel the cold just the heat. Mind you you are also much nearer the North Pole!
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and to all who think the foot the ball season has started far to early in the decade hehehehe.

A 6.4 from me this morning.

Today I shall be committing motorcycle mayhem on my bike, now the temperature has dropped it should be comfortable riding with all the gear on.
Have a good day folks I intend to if allowed by Mrs J.
