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

[philchap1]

Another day, another headache . 5.1 this morning,

d day -2 I know my fbg have much lower that this time last year so I’m anxious about my results. I spent last night trailing through my medical notes online to find my last hba1c. Wish me luck peeps.
I’m t2 insulin dependant who has tried to adopt LCHF and I start to panic ( worry) about what else I could do if my levels haven’t declined again.

Good luck

5.3 this morning. I exercised yesterday (both cardio and weight lifting). For me, I see usually see better morning numbers when I exercise the day before. Also no evening snack, I had pork rinds the Saturday evening. That also seems to make difference for me.

Hi ... Initially I ate exclusively to my meter then figured I had well figured it all out. I stopped testing and 6 months later I was surprised by the numbers . Slowly but surely I had edged up , little by little. It seems I need a fairly regular test to keep me within range. If you can do it without testing thats great, its more than that its fan bloody tactic and more than I. can muster. Maybe later I'll slacken off to testing once a week or maybe once every few days.....

I was not advocating not testing, just flagging up how taking readings can become an end in itself. In my case the pursuit of lower numbers did more harm than good when I analysed all the data from full bloods. It gives a snapshot of bg levels and no more - caveat emptor territory IMHO.

I think I am having a wine problem.

Good morning all. My fbs is all over the place. This morning it was 6.1.

 

[karen8967]

Morning all a even 6.1 today, had really high readings all weekend into the very high 30's with zero explanation, no changes to eating patterns (even ate less than normal) lots of walking and exercise everything that normally keeps me low, I put it down to a glitch in my thingy-me-bob, my doodah is broken , ah well onwards and upwards.


Take care everyone.

maybe a dodgy insulin john

Hi All just come in from being out since 10am. Didnt eat or drink anything (except water in the car) and at 1445 my bloods tested at 6.0after a FBG of 7.1 at 0745. I am not unwell but I am hopping mad. I was also hungry so ate a small bowl of mixed salad left over from yesterdays lunch. Maybe the Endo is right and I should go on insulin soon. The wine conversation you all had cheered me up. I dont drink on a Monday but its hard to resist a stiff one right now.

I have not eaten any thing since 12:30 just tested and at 9.3 I'm not a happy bunny either this Monday is turning out to be a major disappointment.

Sympathy John. Why is diabetis so contrary, I think thats the word I mean. Random left of field numbers for no good reason even when you are really careful.

Did you do it twice? Faulty strip?
