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

Morning All
A really dastardly 8.6 this morning but not going to be gloomy for long as new grandson coming to visit us for first time today. @Welshman1952 thanks for the art work Mrs W is a very talented artist. Have a great Sunday everyone.

Woohoo - hope the visit goes well

FBG of 5.8 early doors this morning, not at all bad considering. Just been for my swim and the feline is demanding an Indian head massage on account of its Sunday. Enjoy the rest of your day folks

@mojo37 Yay! So glad you have decided to continue logging your results here.
I was also at the point of not doing so, but my little avatar (coloured ball on the left of this post) reminded me of why I started. I need the support of the community here to get me through the tough times.

If you haven’t read my thread about my avatar, here’s a link if you are curious.

What’s your inspiration?

Apart from all the amazing people here who inspire me daily, my main inspiration (other than wanting to live long, with all my limbs and both eyes intact) is my avatar. If you look closely at the round rainbow ball by my name on the left of this post, you will see little lines at the top, both...

I have wondered what your avatar was depicting .

11.1 this morning ridiculous number . Promise to myself to climb back on the wagon tomorrow .

6.0 this fine morning. It’s a wee bit winters today with flurries and wind. Don’t expect to see much snow accumulation, maybe a cm.
I'm doing a food test…will report back with results but after two days I’m kind of amazed….we shall see.

10.4 this morning ...Back on the wagon from today so hopefully see a drop in FBG soon .

 

[RD02]

Hi all better late than never a welcome 5.2 this morning. Getting on really well with this ultra-rapid insulin, although it’s quite nerve racking seeing a double arrow drop ( hold your breath time) see where it bottoms out at. That said I know what I’m doing

 

[Ryhia]

Missed posting yesterday but FBG was a higher than usual 6.5. Was feeling unwell during the night so that may account for it. This morning FBG was 6.

 

[aylalake]

After reading a thread by someone else, it dawned on me that since I have been double testing, I have not been putting my meter kits under my pillow. Too lumpy with 2
So last night I tucked the GN into bed with me to see if it would make a difference to these high unexpected readings.

This morning’s readings, after putting the GlucoNavii kit under my pillow and leaving the CodeFree on my bedside table (room temp 12 deg) were:
GlucoNavii 4.3
CodeFree 6.8

2nd reading immediately thereafter, different finger, same blood drop.
GlucoNavii 4.0
CodeFree 6.4

I shall repeat the exercise tomorrow.
This is the thread that gave me the AHA moment.

Glucometer

Hi all. Where I live is cool in the morning. I refer to my bedroom. When I check sugars in bed in the morning, they could be around 8.00mmol. but when I place glucometer under the bedclothes, I can get a reading of 2.00mmol less. So my question is. Which reading is the real reading? Cheers...
