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

[KitSileya]

5.6 for me, even though I ate an ice cream on my way home from work yesterday. The label said it had 20gr of carbs and since I'm doing low carb, not keto, I figured I might try it.

5.1 at wake-up dexcom G6. Find this super accurate if you calibrate once a day

FBG 5.3 this morning. That's a promising number to be going in to see the DN with this morning. particularly as I have a bit of a head cold.

7.2 this morning after waking. stadily climbing in past months. Was between 5.5 and 6.3 for last 3 years.

 

[Lainie71]

Still in the very hateful 8s at the moment. Swelling has gone down and only a bit remains and a bit lumpy anyone one would think I have had a butt lift Doesn't help I cannot exercise but may go on the spin bike tomorrow as I have no pain when I sit now. The colour of the bruising is shocking!

Hope your blood test goes well .

Thank you. But he’s leaving it for another three months because he’s taken me off Gliclazide. I’m so happy and then will review my need for metformin.

 

[Mini Dachs Mum]

I’m so happy as when I got to my appointment my doctor has decided I no longer need Gliclazide and we would leave my blood test for another three months and review my need for metformin then.

7.8 straight outta bed. Pretty much what I get after showering etc.

I usually do my morning ablutions first, knee exercises wahing or a chore or two before taking my FBG as long as I am consistant then all should be OK. The data is for my own benefit and to help me. I am new to this though so could be way off track!

6.3 this morning.

A1c result was 48% up again but only just in diabetic range so not so bad as I had feared.
