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

[Estragon]

@Estragon don't understand your pay as you go comment re GP surgery?

Hello, I reviewing and trawling through my GP Surgery's web site and noticed that there are a number of PAID for appointment and services I wasn’t aware of before now. In the present climate I was wondering who else has noticed any encouragement on the free at point of delivery, at “others” surgeries.

Was very good yesterday, not only got my steps in but no cheating last night. Long may that continue. FBG 5.1 this morning. I'm well pleased.

6.9 this morning not brilliant but at least in the 6's ...just .

 

[JohnEGreen]

6.6 this morning.

 

[Melgar]

Morning all, 6.9 this morning. At least I scraped into the 6's. At bedtime it was 10.3.

 

[RosemaryJackson]

Belated good morning all! Had another disturbed night but was 6.4 bedtime and 7.4 this morning at 9.30. Fairly happy with that. Thanks @PenguinMum, have missed coming on here

Morning All. 7.0 so creaking slowly in the right direction I hope. Eye injection today so need to be strong. @Estragon don't understand your pay as you go comment re GP surgery? @RosemaryJackson good to see you back. Happy Tuesday everyone.

Hope you get on ok at the hospital today, relax & take it easy after

Been on a bit of a retreat. Hibernating. Not checking fadting levels.
This is day 99 of participation in Zoe big fast study, eating in window of no more than 10 hours duration. Usually within 7-8 hours window. Carb less than 50g.
Fasting today 8.2.
Trying to decide next step.. Fast 800 keto, or just go ask for meds.

Think I would be exhausting all avenues before asking for meds, but that is just me. Hugs to you it can't be easy.

Some self referrals to NHS services but can't see anywhere where they are asking for money so short answer - No.

5.8. No idea why. 310k drive home. Unpacking a heavily laden ute. Shopping. I did have some of the vegan roast in a low carb wrap

Thanks, yes. I am trying to avoid meds. Have Metformin for T2 atm. Don’t really want any more. Weary of it all now. Fast 800 keto is my last resort. Going to give it a go, starting tomorrow.
This morning 8.6

 

[DEBBIESCOTT]

Good morning
Libre 4.9
Contour 5.2
Gym before work today have a good day everyone

 

[Estragon]

8.1 - 8.7 last night. I’m calling this my CarbPlateau. It’ll come down during the day.

 

[saky]

today my FBS was 88mg/dl @6.19am

 

[MarkyP2022]

7.2 this morning after going to bed on 6.8

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. A disappointing 7.9 today but might be stress of eye injection yesterday or the biscuit with the cup of tea afterwards! Thanks for good wishes @Estragon and @DEBBIESCOTT. Happy Wednesday everyone.

 

[Overwhelmed]

Morning , fbg 7.2 again . Went on a 5km run yesterday evening and had bed reading of 5.2 .. 2 points rise and nothing to eat this morning . Enjoy your day folks

 

[RosemaryJackson]

Morning all. Bedtime.... drumroll please...4.9!!!! So happy last night, went to sleep with a smile on my face. This am... 7.2. Can someone explain what happens during the night? What am I doing wrong? @PenguinMum, hope you are ok. @Pipp hope it works, I'm going to look that up for me to try. Have a good day all

 

[Estragon]

Can someone explain what happens during the night?

Yeah, known ailment: Sleepwalking towards the Bread bin! There is this Dawn Phenomenon which you can search on these forums for some other experiences of this midnight creeper . . .
