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

7.1 - Severe Cramps Update: After not sleeping for whole of Friday to Saturday night, a 4am call to NHS111 resulted in a referral to Acute Emergency. Urine revealed need for Hospital trip for abdominal Scan. Abdomen scan proved clear but doesn’t rule out the possibility of a stone having been got rid of and the subsequent cramps. However, as cramps where coincident with me starting Orlistat, advised to stop taking Orlistat and placed back under GP care for review. I’d like to start taking Orlistat again as the “proof” of its efficacy in the removal of fatty substances was self-evident, without being too graphic, if you know what I mean ;).
 
6.2 this morning and yet another bout of contact dermatitis - surprised its not higher to be honest :doctor:
 
Had a busy few days, so not been posting. Had sticky sixes, for several days. An improvement on the sevens, and the scary 8 of recent times. Just had to come back to tell this morning was 5.9. That feels good, even though I have aches and wheeziness. Would be just wonderful if all the positives came at once, but not to worry, I can just enjoy for now the 5 range, and see what tomorrow brings.

@Estragon , I hope you feel better. Though concerned that Orlistat and LCHF way of eating are not a good combination.

Hope you get it back under control as soon as possible. Have just started a different insulin regime which is making a huge huge difference to me. Prior to this i did on several occasions hit your high 24.4 figure. It’s frightening indeed. Take care.
