Was so pleased to be going back to the swimming pool this morning after the sport centre being closed four days for Easter break that I completely forgot to test.
oh well it felt like a 6.0, or even a 5.9. So I’ll imagine that is what it was.

FBG 7.3 this morning the 6s didnt last long! Lol. Did 3am test with a BGL of 5.9 so may be getting abit of a glucose dump before waking. Further testing required though might explain a few things.

Hopefully going to gym for a short workout before work
Have a good day everyone

Morning all. 8.1 after an 8.9 bedtime reading. Probably because I've not been well these last few days.

6.2, and pollen driving me to distraction. Going to continue face mask wearing, see if that helps. Dark glasses, too. At least there is less pollen in swimming pool, so that is where I am heading. With goggles, of course.
Keep on keeping on fellow D warriors.

8.4 at 7:00am this morning. I’m going to cop that one on the chin. Miscounted carbs at dinner and should have taken a correction unit at 2am when I checked and was still in the 8s.

9.6 - What?!? Yesterday I had Straight-8s all day long. For the last three days I have an infected edge of my thumbnail, along with a growing, angry abscess, appears to be Paronychia. Could this be raising my numbers? Anyways, it’s painful and just ripe enough to, well, you can guess what I’m tempted to do
