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

So this morning it’s 8.3… last night I caved and fell off the 800 wagon and ate nuts strawberries and alpro cream at about 8pm… still managed lower carb but clearly my liver/pancreas didn’t approve!
A hug for falling off the wagon I've fallen off so many times I've lost count but the main thing is climbing back on :)

Thank you ️ I’m trying not to beat myself up and it wasn’t a terrible binge like I would have done before- stuck to low carb just too much of it! Am back on the wagon today here’s to both our wagons being stable!
 
I wonder if my Kelhale inhaler spikes my sugar after I take it at bedtime. Didn't take it last night and this mornings reading 6.8
5.8 after lunch :)

A very early start and a 5.6.
My old meter that I lost a month ago has found its way home. This will most likely lead to me experimenting and comparing the two meters. I can’t help myself.

Could be worse I have 3 meters which give 3 different readings. I had to settle on one of them otherwise I would have become demented. I still don't know which is the most accurate tester but I've decided to settle on the one which gives a mid range result - I still cannot resist doing comparisons though. I'm sure I'll stop tormenting myself once I have run out of strips for the other meters.
 
Back on the 800 wagon and my liver is happy with me

Morning 4.9

Despite my lapse day before yesterday my blood sugars remained in single figures all day yesterday, still get the damned lunchtime spike but not like it was- highest was 9.6 which dropped soon after. The low carb and fast 800 combo is doing something good it seems.
 
A straight 8 this morning isn't it funny if it was just one 0.9 lower I would feel better lol. Still on the whole moving in the right direction .
