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

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. 6.6 so good to still be in the 6s. @Granny_grump_ you seem to be progressing nicely. Hugs for the loss of your Louie. Very wet day here. Take care if you go out in it.

Still on holiday in the Scottish Borders

Still on holiday in the Scottish Borders, Internet is dreadful but managed to get my HbA1c result, 39, up from 38 when I came off all meds in May, so I’m happy enough with that. I’ll catch up with you all when I get home in Monday.

Fantastic result and testament to all the hard work - especially those miles and watching what you eat - you have put in.

Hi PenguinMum
Feeling a bit low mood this morning so hubby and I went to Trafford Centre outside of Manchester just to get out for a while. Not many cafes at Barton Square end of Trafford only found a Pizza place but I felt light headed and a bit wobbly so we shared a pepperoni pizza half each. Will check out the damage tomorrow morning.

Hi Granny_grump yes I'm in my 70s too had 3 full doses of vaccine then got covid and have been avoiding further jabs till now had a breathing test this morning to see what damage covid pneumonia has done long term.

Hi John my son who has spinal injuries from his chest down so his lungs don’t completely inflate has had Covid three times upto now due to jobs of his wife manager for local council over library’s at moment and daughter in law who is a physiotherapist for people with breathing problems bringing it home without knowing it.
He’s suffered from long Covid with extreme fatigue and can only work from home now he’s a finance manager for council, what I’m saying is he’s been told that having had Covid he’s also built up some immunity so you May hopefully be surprised if it’s again hopefully it’s not done has much damage has you expected.
So hopefully you have good results from your breathing test results good luck to you, but why have you only had 3 Covid jabs upto now??? K

Happy Friday!

FBG Fingerprick 6.4 Libre 6.7 …

Would like to see an FBG starting with a 5 in the near future.

 

[Granny_grump_]

Hi RoughcutAU
its all possible if you look after your diet cut down on carbs ie:- potatoes rice pasta anything high in carbs has carbs just turn to sugar in your body so good luck to being in the 5s I’m on the same road has you also hope to be in 5s but being in 6s is great numbers too so don’t beat yourself up this diabetic road is a long one and like myself sometimes we get lost in it all but I’m trying to get back to where I was a few years ago so good luck to you and this journey we are all on. K

Now then folks,
I leave the thread for a while and what happens? Lots of you are chatting a bit too much with not much reporting of fasting levels!.
Don’t want to name names, yet. Will if I have to, so please remember there is a chatty version of this thread. In the chat forum.
Please play nice, as I am really not up to deleting posts.

To stay on track , I report after a horrible lurgy I am testing again, and this morning my fasting level was 7.0, which though far from ideal, is acceptable under the circumstances.

Good morning

Contour 5.3
Gym before work this morning
Enjoy your day everyone
