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

Like I expected, it was a fairly high 8.1 this morning.

I am experimenting with some food groups and I am inclined to believe based on my little experiment that mixing certain food groups results in higher readings even if relatively lower carbs in this instance lamb and chicken along with broccoli salad - overall carbs intake of yesterday was also higher though than my usual intake at possibly around 80gms although all of it is through complex carb and lot of fibrous sources.

Of course this can be a complete fabrication of my imagination at this point, but doesn't stop me from keeping things exciting in the kitchen... :D

It also means numbers should start getting better by tomorrow as now am in fasting and next eating activity will now only be on Thursday morning , body permitting of course. :)

Have a great day everyone. :)
 
I was at 11.1 mmol/l before breakfast this morning.

That should be seen in the context of it being over 33 mmol/l just 3 weeks ago. My meter wouldn't go any higher.

I'm afraid I fell off the wagon during the pandemic. I was jolted back into action when my most recent HBA1C test was 150.

So the fight continues.

Wish me luck.
