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

[ianpspurs]

I'll go with 4.7 today sub-optimal or not -it is the feast of The Transfiguration. @Debandez yes I have had DGF very recently - chocolate just about bearable but Julie bakes far better. Their's are also so small but a present is a present. Their MCT creamer is a joke. @SaskiaKC the wine flattens spikes from more carby food such as potatoes and root veg plus, nowadays, microscopic (for me) slices of birthday cake and desserts which little girls with doe eyes offer granddad.

Is it your hospital appointment today @ianpspurs ? Hope all goes well.

Thank you for remembering. Me too. I'm very much hoping to feel comfortably numb

4.9 today but decided to tackle my recent dawn phenomena (starting around 5 going to @6.5 with nothing to eat) by eating a piece of cheese more or less as soon as i woke up. It works for me.

8.1 today. Grrrr. New Libre sensor said 4.7 which I was following. Need to take a bedtime finger prick, especially with a new sensor.

Hi @Debandez may I ask you how long it takes to bring your BS down (and by how much) and when you have your breakfast after that or do you just have tea/coffee - any advice is much appreciated - many thanks

 

[Mrs T 123]

6.9 this morning - disappointed as I have been very very good recently - just when I think I am getting there

Could be heat as it is warm here today or anything really ???

Hi Mrs T. To be honest I've never timed it but here is my scan log for info. Re breakfast, these days I'm probably more of a coffee and cream for breakfast and a brunch person as I like to eat just twice a day (I feel it saves my dads army inside if I don't bring them out too often) So I would probably eat around 11am.

When my starting point has been higher I have a zero carb breaky (eg omelette, smocked mackerel or continental). When its in the 4s I would have a higher carb breaky, yoghurt with berries or keto muesli for example, I might occasionally have a slice of toast balanced out with fats (bacon is my favourite) which I feel keeps the rise down. I don't have bread very often at all. When I do its Hi-lo or a similar low carb one one. I keep a loaf in my freezer and just take out a slice as and when. I keep meaning to bake my own!
