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

[Ryhia]

Morning all, 5.2 this morning and 5.3 last night graph’s a flat line

Doing great @RD02. What's your average time in range? I'm sure it must be good. My DIL's brother has finally been given a libre to use, he calls himself type 1 but he has a damaged pancreas so maybe a 3c?. He was refused a CGM initially because his control was too good. Wouldn't you think they would reward the diligent ones with tools to make life easier but no he had to wait at least a couple of years from initially asking.

6.5 today. Happy enough with that.

My time in range is way above the gold standard of 70% that I’m asked to try to achieve. My last Hba1c at 38.

Even though I have extremely good control,I’m going on Omnipod 5 closed loop this October.

There is technology out there that can take away the multiple decisions I have to make everyday, and take away the constant mental burden of T1.

I’m having to self fund due to not meeting the regulations and the only way I can get funding would be to deliberately take my eye off the ball and allow my stats to worsen.

I eat normally but have fine turned my ratios and normally bang on.

Seems I’m penalised for good control, saving the nhs interventions, no matter what the mental burden.

Morning
6.2 today which isn't a surprise as I ate a good chunk of crunchy baguette with last nights meal. In my defense it was definitely required to mop up the juice and to dip in olive oil!

Have a good day all

A disappointing FBG of 7.3 this morning. Was 7.1 last night so shouldn’t be overly surprised. No naughtiness yesterday, just too many carbs overall I think. Shame, it was going so well.

My first date with my husband was at Cadwell Park. That was in 1979! The fumes from the bikes burning fuel was intoxicating

6.7 I’m hoping the high number is because I have a constant nagging pain in my hip and down my leg

Have a great Bank Holiday Monday everyone. The sun is shining here in Lincolnshire so I hope it is where you are.
