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

mine was 6.2. I have been out of hospital for a week and my figures have been between 5.8 and 7.3 every day. Happy with that as my figures were above 9 before I went into hospital with aspiration pneumonia. As a way of praise the nurses in hospital were faultless to a t. Very caring and attentive and alive to your every need. Praise to the West Suffolk Hospital and staff.

Today's FBG was 6.4 so there are signs of improvement from yesterday - just. Bloods have been unusually high for the last few days but I'll just keep keeping on - nothing much else we can do. Plus there's another beautiful day outside to enjoy so all's good.

Nice to see you @Estragon. Hope things are well with you.

Evening @ProsperoB and welcome to this FBG thread for diabetics. We're pleased you could join us.

Your profile doesn't tell us the type of diabetes you've developed, and whether treated with medication or diet alone. Might be helpful to know, if you would like advice from members based on their experience.

Once again welcome.
 
Very late posting….it is now 7pm. I’ve been hitting 6.2 for the last three days. It’s my new normal. Sucks. I eat no carbs. I know the pancreas is broken but I was hoping for a miracle. I guess not being on meds yet is my own little miracle.
just back from our evening walk, we decided to head out back into the hills (our house backs on forested hills…so nice) as the temperature was not too hot. Just half a km into it…BEAR! He saw us before we saw him and he ran…but then turned around, stood on his hind legs and gave us all the once over. Luckily the dog did not see it. We made lots of noise and he wandered off. We did finish our walk and didn’t see him again. I find it so amazing that a big black blob can be so,hard to see in the forest! They really just disappear.
hoping for a little lower BS tomorrow.

How can you go out for a walk knowing there’s bears about?, I wouldn’t go out when we’ve got foxes in the garden
