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

New meter didn’t arrive until this afternoon. The unopened box is trying to guilt me into doing a test. Not taking that bait. Early tomorrow is soon enough. My fingers are thanking me.:)
 
8.5 this morning. Actually slightly better then expected after last nights carb heavy dinner out ... maybe the pavlova did it. Didn’t want to attempt a before bed (11.1 bgl) correction knowing full well there would probably be insulin on board. Regardless that pavlova was sooooo good.
 
I lurk on this thread but don't post often as I can see no rhyme nor reason to what my fbg is. It ranges from the odd high 4 to mostly 6s and 7s but have just has my yearly hba1c come in at 39, up just 1 from last year.
Just posting to give hope the 6s and 7s club, and to all those who don't understand their fbg either!

Thank you MrsA2. I’m pretty fresh (August last year) on this gig so find any bit of info/data useful to absorb. Seems abit silly to say but this is probably my favourite thread. My last HBA1C was 40/5.8 so fingers crossed i dont venture too far north.. even though endo was the one that wanted me too loosen up control alittle.

Sorry everyone if i broke the rule of “some chat”. :)
 
Good morning
Libre 5.4/6.1 before & after rising
Contour 5.5
After a week of very erratic b/s, it decided to play nice yesterday, hope it continues
Rest day today so just a walk & maybe yoga later
Have a good day everyone
 
Morning All. 7.6 this morning after sub 20g carbs yesterday. @RosemaryJackson we just have to just keep on carrying on! @MrsA2 wise assertion. My A1c was up 1 last month to 37 but my FBGs are constantly very high. I think stress is a big contributor of mine. Happy Saturday everyone.
 
4.6 today. Looking back over my bloods past 6 months going from 3 meals a day to 2 bigger meals a day made a big difference to my morning bloods. I been in the 4's for 6 months now and i wonder will that show in my A1c. If its the same as my last A1c or a bit higher i might just start eating 3 times a day a few times a week just to put some weight back on as i feel so boney :). Have a great day everybody
 
No Swipey no test here (Bob Marley's first attempt) but wanted to congratulate @MrsA2 on the excellent HbA1c and post echoed and supported by @PenguinMum. Good - however defined - fbg or overall control of The D, like the pursuit of happiness, is a perfectly sound idea. Neither has a copper bottomed guarantee of success. Both will also look totally different to each person. Them's my onions anyhow.

Your control is admirable. I can only do 2 meals a day when on holiday then I can indulge in substantial brunch at 10am and go through to supper but that doesn’t work in everyday life. I’m sure its worth you trying 3 meals if its not too carby. Good luck to you.
