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

Hi @AngiH

Welcome to fight club...:D

Sure others will say more, but for me inside a window of 4-6.9..is where i want to be.
6+..is good
5+ is better..
4+ is olympic..(i think)..but it is all about keeping the blood sugar levels LOWER then they could be.

If the number is OVER 7 then it just means i need to adjust WHAT i have eaten OR how much of it i ate.
(portion control or as a chinese waiter once told me.., "eyes to big for belly"...LoL)
Thank you. I'm only at prediabetic stage but am all set for a lifestyle change
 
Unfortunately need to be off to the doctor as the joint pain in my hand is getting worse and starting to affect my grip. I’m too young for that and ibuprofen is making not a jot of difference so the lottery of trying to get an on the day appointment with the doc it must be.


Goonergal :Wishing you well with this . I have a similar although not so severe issue. I am hoping its not diet related, from everything I read this is unlikely . For me its My left hand thumb joint . Fingers crossed the doctor knows something you dont !
It could be from using the computer , I had a similar issue and I went on youtube and got physio exercises and it cleared it up .
 
Last fbg of the year is my favourite recurring number of a straight old 5.0
Won’t be testing tomorrow as I’m flying home today - leave here at 2.45 and by the Time I get home it should be about 1pm New Year’s Day. Bonus of being in the air at midnight is I’ve not got to worry about what outfit to wear :D
Hope everyone has a wonderful evening, whether that’s partying the night away or sleeping soundly through it
 
Good morning everyone! 6.3 in here, and so foggy out there that all seven swans want to stay in with me and the kitty today. It would mean a real live feather bed for kitty and me in case we wanted to take a nap, but I told the swans they needed to be out there a-swimming and shooed them out the window.

We wish you all a wonderful, wild or tame, late or early, out or in, wakeful or sleep-full, New Year's Eve.

Safe travels!
 
Happy New Year’s Eve all
5.8 this morning but sure it will fall back to my normal level soon now that I’m working on my stress management again.
Enjoyed my forest bathing - avatar taken in the forest by pond with sun peeping through trees and giving reflections on the water.
@Goonergal good luck at drs hope they can help.
@Bubbsie sorry missed your birthday but sounds like you put in some serious celebratory work over the week - sounds like a good week. Mums birthday is between Christmas and new year and can get pushed to one side so made an effort this year to party and mark it.
To everyone on this thread wishing you a wonderful, peaceful and healthy 2019 and hope you enjoy celebrating seeing the old year out and the new one in.

That is a great avatar pic.
 
Well, the day is just getting started for me, and I supposed for @Chronicle_Cat as well, while for many of y'all it is getting to be thinking-about-what-to-wear time or which-movie-to-watch time. As for me, the coffee is drunk, the calendar is beeping, the KittenCat has just jumped down from my lap, and I have a 90th-birthday card to deliver.

So, to all near and far, Happy New Year!

And @Emma_369 don't ask the pilot to rock his wings or anything, but if I see you as you fly over, I will wave.
