Disappointing 7.0 this morning. No real reason why or at least nothing I can think of.

5.7 at 6AM with an overnight average of 6.0. No fasting yesterday too but we walked well over 15K steps during the course of the day.
I am beginning to think hot / warm weather is not great for diabetics... generally elevated BG levels all around.
Will be fasting today though.
Have a great start of the week everyone.

Could also be that the only response that seems available in the App is a Like rather than all the others.

Yup, there’s that too. Time for an update, methinks? However I was thinking that a “like” was a support for that number for me. Difficult.

And what a difference a day makes. Really good nights sleep and now I’m a perfectly respectable 4.9

What a difference a day makes for @PenguinMum @DisFanJen hopefully @JohnEGreen and indeed anyone else who needs today to be better than yesterday - England cricket team? So I was 5.3 on Swipey at 1st go (7.02) can't cloak or disguise that as good enough for that method of measuring. Sleep length and score + resting pulse and weight all fine but this is a D control community so
