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

Happy Super Salmon Salad day (maybe even Halloumi fries as well) everyone. 5.4 here - never mind tomorrow's another day and it was much later when I checked @mojo37 @RoughcutAU for those Swipeys. Take care all.

5.4 is a perfect bloodsugar?

5.4 is a perfect bloodsugar?

Over 8 years that level has become slightly high for me when using Libre. Given my food yesterday and a bedtime 4.7 I would normally expect 4s or lower 5s.

My daughter was 11.0 at 7:22am, that is quite good for her at the moment!!

I was 10.7. Way down from the 16.5 8 days ago when I started the FPG. On low carbs/intermittent fasting so wonder how long it'll be before I start getting the likes of 5.5 (ish)...

A FBG of 6.1 this morning for me. A respectable number even if its edging up from the giddy fives earlier this week. Its Friday, the sun is shining and I've got much to be thankful for.

Hello and a warm welcome to the forum.. We're pleased you could join us.

How long it'll take to reach a FBG of 5.5 or thereabouts is a question none of us can answer. We're all different. One thing's certain, if you keep to a low carb, healthy fat lifestyle [LCHF], you'll get there, but it takes time. Please keep us posted.

Morning all 5.4 this morning, off for my covid booster jab later, will be interesting to see if it does anything to my levels

Well hasn’t raised blood sugars, but have been trending down all day, how bizarre !!

Yesterday 5.1, today 5.3! I haven't seen FBG in the 5s in many, many years! Like 20! And then only when I was pregnant and on insulin! This is amazing!

A month in with my 4-5km walks every day and keto. Before the herbs, both things sent my BG spiraling out of control since long COVID. So amazing!

6.3

FBG 6.6 this Caturday morning, but it was after I’d been shuffling about for an hour or so, tending to the demands of the feline and sorting out the laundry.

Need to up the exercise a bit. I find it gets increasingly difficult as the nights draw in.

 

[rubypops]

137 (7.6).

Not ideal but understandable considering the long lie-in I had.

And celebrating my first night without a hypo since switching to Levemir!

6.5 this morning quite high for me, but after having the covid booster yesterday, my levels were trending down all day. So deliberately elevated them in the high 7’s before going to sleep. All seems to have settled now so bolus as usual
