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

@mojo37 , don’tget despondent. Exercise always increses my BG fora couple of hours, after. Almost makes me want to justify being a couch potato, but not agood choice as joints seize up if I don’t keep moving. Positive of exercise is thar, for me, the increse in endorphins gives a feeling of wellbeing, and I am not losing much muscle mass as I age. Also with exercise, and watching carb intake, overall average BG is reducing.

Fasting today 5.4.
Thank you I know long term the exercise will improve things :-)
 
my BS this morning was 8.5!!!! I am pre diabetic. Have been 15yrs!! Need some advice as I'm concerned what's happening. I'm trying very hard to follow a low carbs diet. Many thanks.
Hi Babs51 are you sure that you are still pre diabetic we are all different but 15 yrs seem a long time to be still pre diabetic. Hopefully you still are because then you can turn it around.Sorry I didn't see that someone else had replied the same to you lol
 
Morning. 5.9 after fishfinger Thursday and a week of horrible BGs generally. @ianpspurs hug for the knee pain and @DJC3 great fbg again marred by the tummy ache so big hug for that. Gold medals to those in their range and bronze to those of us trying to be. Happy Friday.

Yay! Back in the 5s PM. Good old Fish Finger Thursday. Hope this is the start of more normal BGs now
 
Hey guys haven't posted here in a while, had a right mare lately, current situation is even more stressful as I have severe OCD and anxiety, have'nt left the house since March, hadn't hugged my partner since March, he fell and broke his wrist and needed an op 4 weeks ago, dad in hospital possibly having an op today so I've been a but preoccupied and down

Anyways it was a 5.3 for me this morning, hope everyone is well

Virtual Hugs for all the anxiety and stress and especially lack of real hugs which is awful. Great FBG despite everything. Keep going.
