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

4.9 this morning.

The bigger win was that at diabetic foot clinic today they told me I can stop taking metformin! So happy as it was not always agreeing with me. I was put on it during my stay in hospital for IV antibiotics for a foot ulcer on 16 September, so about 2 months. The foot is now perfectly healed. Happy dance time. Now to keep up the work I am doing.

That’s fantastic news, keep dancing!

It was Aldi's mature cheddar so no carbs - and cheese is my usual "go to" as well. I mentioned cheese but as we all know it could have been anything really, it was just that having cheese late at night was quite unusual for me, I don't normally have anything after 6:00p.m. Maybe my body had a shock. Who can say. Its not the first time I have reacted this way when I have eaten a fair amount of protein, so just assumed. Bloods were in 6s all morning but have steadied now thankfully. I wait in anticipation of what tomorrow may bring.

Yeah, I love the total randomness we get sometimes. (Can you hear the dripping sarcasm?)

Had some **** at work recently so my numbers have been higher during the day (7.1 at lunch! Eeep!) but once my day ends my numbers stabilise and all the extra stuff I’ve been doing during the day to try and stay low (extra exercise, eating a little less carbs at lunch, etc.) mean that by bed time I’m having to have a 8 - 10g carb nibble so that I don’t go to low overnight.

Well, we all muddle along as best we can, right?

Double winner star :)
 
7.7 Ugh… “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!” Stability through continual instability.

All very true ..so many things impact on BG and stress is one of them .
 
Talking about random had a 8 this am now where did that come from ! Where ever it was I wish it would bugg** off back there :rolleyes:
 
Wow Team D, just wow. @DEBBIESCOTT exemplary start to the day diabetic or not, just my opinion obviously; @Estragon ” Stability through continual instability" basically UK history 2014-2021, discuss. Totally random? no, we just don't know enough about managing The D monster despite what some claim; @JohnEGreen some roller coaster; @DisFanJen @DJC3 @mojo37 @Ryhia @PenguinMum and anyone I missed hugs/elbow bumps. Elsie is one of them it is better to have loved and lost etc gels. Team D Chillax, we got this but long term - big picture y'all.
