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

Morning - 7.1 at 5.57 then went for a swim and then a cold dip - pre breakfast at 8.22 was up to 9.1

Mixture of Sunday lunch out and then some red wine later in the eve probably didn't help, but hey it was Sunday yesterday.
Hello and welcome to this FBG thread for all comers.
We're pleased you could join us.
 
I can only tolerate half an average size dessert apple at any one time, they are surprisingly full of carbs for something so healthy and tend to spike my BG levels. But I’ve discovered that half an apple with some cheese makes a good dessert/snack, and barely registers on the scale, so its a nice treat now.
Yes, healthwise apples get a favourable press.

We have an apple tree (now on its last roots, sadly) and I found there was a substantial difference between eating a home-grown apple and an apple bought from a supermarket. Traditional English varieties like a crisp Cox's orange pippin have a kick to them, but modern cultivars such as gala and golden delicious have been selected for super sweetness and spike me in minutes.

I can no longer handle an apple as a snack. My solution is to incorporate apple peel into salads, when apple flavour and colour is required.
 
7.2 today. Hooray ........
I'm very pleased with that.
I'm posting similar comments on 2 threads. Need to sort out which thread is most suited and relevant for me.
The folk on these threads have been very welcoming and friendly , plus knowledgeable and happy to offer advice, which is most welcome.....
Thank you ☺️.
