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

7.3 today

walking in general tends to lower sugars for me (short walks at very slow pace), swimming appears to have a bigger difference in helping to reduce (at very very slow pace) that is basing off cgm.

hand soaking wont effect cgm, it may effect fingerprick results. if hands are not dry it will dilute the sample. hence was advised in hospistal wipe away first droplet then squeeze / rub downwards for another droplet and check against the second droplet of blood.

over the moon as very shortly after this mornings original post have finally hit refresh mydiabetesmyway results are in! whoohoo! celebrating today some bolognese for dinner minus the pasta

Are you going to share it with us?

I shared the results earlier on success stories area of the forum https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/th...d-well-chuffed-with-new-blood-results.209192/

Your TIR must be really brilliant based on your FBG postings, so no worries for the A1c.

Hope you get the results you want in all areas.

Keep us posted.

time in range is pretty decent it was terrible when initially diagnosed libre said TIR was sub 40% for the first few weeks (usually very high/high). Started to walk about a little bit after food whenever seen straight upwards arrow for 10-15 minutes at a time. current time in range for last 7 days: 97% 2% <3.9 (but fingerprick checking lowest 4.2 tested at 2.8 libre. 30days: 96% TIR 1% 10.1-13.3 3.9 and lower 2%, above10 2%. 90days TIR 88% 10-13.3 6% 6% >13.3 >13.3 0% sub <3.9 0%. I've found the libre exceptionally good for encouraging exercise alongside made a ton of diet changes learned to avoid some foods (or take if lower)

I agree exercise helps lower the bs
When the little dog in the suitcase (avatar)
Was younger 30 to 40 minutes brisk walk after fasting reading would bring it down say from 6.5 to 5.5 .. unfortunately age slowly caught up with him and he wanted less and less exercise until the old man left some six weeks ago...
I still work manually 4 to 5 days a week but it's not the same as brisk walk twice a day..

Interestingly for me my glucose levels increase as soon as I get out of bed and start moving.

With the libre I am able to take a reading while still in bed. Unless I forget like this morning.
