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

A modest 5.3 FBG this morning, so the swim did its job even though I was so tired I was in bed by 9pm.

@DEBBIESCOTT Hope your cough settles down soon. My brother had whooping cough at the same time as mumps, over Christmas one year, apparently I had very generously donated both to him but recovered quicker. The head over a bowl of steaming menthol crystals was a favourite of my mother's for just about everything to do with the lungs, certainly cleared the nasal passages if not the cough!
 
Yesterday I never posted...... 13.2mmol
Today was no better BG 14.7 mmol.
Been on a high plateau just lately & am still trying, but struggling to reduce since being put back on steroids and having various medical conditions.....
Love sent to everyone and best thoughts for anyone struggling or ill.

Morning All 7.3 so 0.1 better than yesterday so the same really. @DEBBIESCOTT the old advice half a century ago to relieve whooping cough was get in lots of steam eg shower or head under a towel over a bowl of steaming water but I guess you’ve tried everything. I think our DIL had a whooping cough vaccine while pregnant. We are avoiding crowded places to give our 3 mo treasure every precaution. @RosemaryJackson hope you are improving and well done for persevering. Eye pain and discomfort is the worst. Sending hugs to you both.
Anyone heard from @Estragon I hope he is just chilling in the Hive. Happy Wednesday all.
