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

5.5 FBG this morning. Not feeling great, have been changing the timing of my blood pressure medication to the evening to see if it makes a difference to my resting heart rate/FBG levels, so it may be connected. Or possibly the slightly over ripe smoked haddock for breakfast. Serves me right

Have a good Tuesday all
 
Only 18.6 today.
Hello @Charlotte73 and welcome back to this FBG thread. We're pleased you could join us once again.

18.6 mmol/L! Is that all? That FBG reading is awfully high, as I think you realise. Please telephone your GP's surgery first thing tomorrow morning and ask for the earliest available appointment with your doctor. Don't wait for them to contact you. S/he may want to adjust your medication.

Once again, welcome
 
Blood prick, 6.5
replaced Dexcom last night and it’s as wonky as heck. I started off with a low glucose warning2.9…I knew there was no chance of that, fingerprick 6.9. As of right now I think it’s finally calmed down, I’ve calibrated a few times.
leg day at the gym this morning, some shopping , lunch and then a nice walk with hubby and pup. It’s a cool one but bright sunny skies and snow covering everything, a sweet winter wonderland.

Good suggestion!
