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

Morning All. 6.0 this morning. Disappointed because I walked miles yesterday with friends and had a Greek salad for lunch, mushroom omlette for tea. Another one of D’s little mysteries!
Great scores @DJC3 and @ziggy_w FBGs of 4s are awesome.
@JohnEGreen don't know what your results mean but hope you are ok.
@alf_Josiah hope London is ready for you and yer mates.
Have a great Wed everyone. Its warming up. Stay well, stay safe.

Thanks PM I think mine was simply that I was awake before the dreaded dawn phenomenon kicked in. Got up at 8:30 yesterday and it was 6.1
 
Morning all! Was another 4.9 on the cards for me this morning, again with this consistency?! There again I can't really shout all that much. Been having to adjust my protein a little bit with the wake of weight lifting going on so it's going to be getting to know the butcher in the local market!

Hope you all have a good day :cat:

5.9 and got off lightly. Low carb food yesterday as usual but as it was anniversary of meeting my hubby 33 years ago wine was involved, and peanuts, far too many!!!!

The love story. .....

I had broken up with an ex who I had been on and off with for over 3 years. A lovely friend wanted to set me up on a blind date to help the healing process. NO THANKS I NEVER WANT TO DATE ANOTHER MAN AGAIN! As you can see I politely declined! So my best friend went on the blind date. He was a handsome young man called Eric. No sparks for them but they got in well enough. Next time I went out with my friend on a girly night she spotted Eric and some friends sitting at a table in the pub. She waved over. They beckoned us. We sat with them, me next to Eric. We had so much in common we didnt come up for breath. Love at first sight actually. Told each other just that 3 weeks later and married within 7 months. So yes, peanuts and wine were most definitely in order!!!

Happy hump day folks.

Each time they do one the doctor decides on necessary action so they keep repeating till they feel they can ignore it because so far it hasn't resulted in any change of treatment.

Last weeks one was requested by my neurologist some of the meds I have been on can be a bit problematic as far as the kidneys are concerned.

9.7 this morning at 8 am

It was another stressful day yesterday. Been ‘fighting’ the dual fuel company to return over £500 credit (I pay direct debit and it accumulates) for a few months and it had gone to official complaint and further.

It is not easy when their chat goes to Mumbai and their operators use cut and paste prepared answers which bear no relation to the problem. Even any email went to somewhere similar with cut and paste answers which also bore no relation to the problems.

I am quite capable of fighting my own battles but I was worn out with this one. So a friend stepped in. She is a mathematician and did spreadsheets and stuff to prove I was paying too much direct debit for fuel I use. The company kept putting the direct debit up. She also went on the chat pretending she was me. She had the mathematical facts better than I had. Over half an hour later of intense chat to Mumbai and her digging her heels in every step of the way, I got my half grand refunded to my account, and the direct debit reduces to a correct amount.

RESULT!!!!!

I am so grateful to her. The help of friends is invaluable.

By the way for all of you who suggested and recommended the Montezuma’s absolute black chocolate with cocoa and orange nibs...I love it!!
Thank you so much for telling me about it. Only 8 carbs for the whole bar, and this is also going to be invaluable on the days when I am so stressed and I need to pig out.

Thank you for being here in this forum.
I try every day to read all the posts because there is a lot of information here and individual ideas.

Take care.
Enjoy the day.
This is going to be the most fantastic day of your life!!!
I am now off to seize the day and have breakfast with a friend.

I reckon you should treat your friend to a bar? And perhaps point them in @Bubbsie direction to help with her waterboard troubles(although to be fair she seems to be handling her shizzle just fine!!)
