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

[JohnEGreen]

4.5 today

@Debandez and @ianpspurs thank you both. I’ve a feeling the lower than usual fbg is probably more to do with over celebrating on red wine than anything virtuous or self controlled I’ve done.

@Debandez and @ianpspurs thank you both. I’ve a feeling the lower than usual fbg is probably more to do with over celebrating on red wine than anything virtuous or self controlled I’ve done.

But I was right, the two are linked . Don't you boffins say causal correlation?

Winner in my book. ;-)

6.3 today, with a feeling of ‘Whateva’!

5.6 for me today - raining at the moment here - it wasn't supposed to - to dry up in the afternoon, so I may still get a washing out and dried today I hope as rain is forecast for Tuesday & Wednesday.

Maybe the red wine is trying to tell you something!

6.3 here today, to accompany the 21-degree thunderstorm outside.

Shame about thunderstorms but some fantastic fbgs lately.

4.7 this morning. Just finished a 15.3 km walk in the Chilterns on long-acting insulin and two cups of tea. Looking forward to lunch. Have a great Monday.

5.5 for me

 

[DJC3]

Morning. 5.2 today, more red wine last night!

 

[ianpspurs]

4.4 (according to Libre) for me - more chorizo ( W...., obs) last night Bumped along 4s nicely all night and scales ok with the extra - not everything about this is (always) dire.

Morning all. 4.8 this morning. Hasn’t been this low for some time so very pleased, especially as I’m still on steroids.

I had to read this last bit twice. ;-) joking aside, good to hear you are finding something positive about low carb.

 

[Debandez]

5.6 on my libre. Double checked with finger prick. 5.6. So i guess its 5.6 then. Not bad considering we used Boris' voucher for a late night meal. Booked in at 8pm. So busy didn't get food til gone 9pm. Low carb heaven. Fillet steak, peppercorn sauce and a small salad. Red wine. ;-) Looks like his plan is working.

 

[JohnEGreen]

According to my Libre at 2 AM bg 8.6 at 5 AM 6.7 at 7 AM 5.2 so i'm going with the latest at 5.2.

Good morning all.

@DJC3 -- Great fasting levels lately.
@Debandez and @ianpspurs -- Dinner sounds delicious.

Blood glucose upon getting up was 5.0 today.

4.8 this morning. Finally. I ate carrot cake at 9 pm. Then had a tough battle to land my blood sugars. I eat keto so don't have enough background to cover faster-acting carbohydrates. Lucky I have an MM which alarms. Was it worth it? The jury's still out.

Hug is for the journey. IMHO no need for a jury on carrot cake - it is just wrong on so many levels keto not far behind I don't have T1 or use insulin so whatever you do/eat has my complete admiration.
