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

@heavyd is there any reason why it's in the 8's. I'm new and learning. Is it the dawn thingy, can't spell it. I just didn't want to agree or hug if you get my drift. Just interested.

Hi @Moggely, my highest BG of the day is often when I wake up or within an hour or two of getting up. I’ve read about the dawn phenomenon where the liver dumps glucogen into your blood.
 
6.1 after a curry last night which took 3hrs to arrive! There are some definite disadvantages to living in the sticks. We were ravenous by the time it arrived but then great disappointment as it tasted very sweet, don’t know if they’ve got a new chef but I only had a couple of mouthfuls - still had quite a big spike. Will have to stick to making our own.

@karen8967 hope you are ok? Hugs for having to work on a bank hol

@trick60 it’s probably the booze affecting your fbg - it seems the liver is too busy dealing with the alcohol to dump much glucose the morning after.
 
Good morning all. 5.3 today. Misty rain here. Schools are back today, so traffic will be busier everywhere. Back to the home gym for me. Going for the less is more theory, keeping it to 20 mins or so.
Our under 21 team (Tipp) won the hurling national final. Which is a nice consolation prize, and bodes well for the future. Season over for 2018.
Have a good day all, be well.

Morning all. Been catching up on some of the excellent chat on here over the past 48 hours. No plans to cook a roast on holiday but will be heading to something beginning with M to buy something beginning with P or B on my return next week.
That's assuming Mrs R hasn't already gone online and ordered the shopping from something beginning with O.
@DJC3 - great new picture. I'm not sure I'm going to follow the trend of emerging from behind my avatar just yet - I think you would all miss the goldfish too much, and there is nothing funny about my real face (although Mrs R might also disagree with that).
My Monday starts with a quite acceptable 5.8.

Thanks @rhubarb73 I will probably hide behind a pooch photo again soon - I surprise myself each time I see the new one!
Your holiday fbg is good -Have you succumbed to a cream tea yet?
