Morning all [emoji6]. mmol/L at am this morning, early riser. Lately I have been on a very strict diet. I got my blood test results. My ac and kidney test results improved.
Have a nice day everyone.[emoji[emoji6][emoji6][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]]

Congratulations on blood test results. While everyday snapshots are great it’s nice to get confirmation.

Thanks a lot for the encouragement. My HbAc level is 32.2 mmol/mol now(5.1%) down from 5.3%. My creatinine was high at 1.57mg/dL. Now 1.20mg/dL (normal range). Totally stopped dairy. I learned a lot from the forum, including the English language. My thanks to all members.

I’m here, just don’t post much….my numbers are quite consistent. Today was 5.9 (fingerprick). Put another Dexcom g7 on this morning.
adding a few more carbs into my diet with absolutely no effect on blood sugar, I love that. I do mean a few….but it’s nice to have some berries and yogurt!
off to give blood in a few minutes. Last time I got nauseous and dizzy…no fun. I’m trying one more time but my doctor did say that if I get faint again I should stop donating. Im full of electrolytes and had a small snack (keto granola,dry) and taking more electrolytes with me….fingers crossed.

edited to report I did not get sick or feel ill at all……I did eat a bag of chips though….and my blood sugar did go up but not terribly. I’d do it again…

another edit. I decided to check my husband’s sugar….he is not diabetic but did eat the chips(crisps). It actually came up a wee bit higher than mine. I sometimes forget that everyone’s blood sugar will go up with carbs. I had supper soon after so who knows how quickly t would have come down…..but I’m not unhappy with what I saw.

Morning all. 7.2 at 5.30am. I really dont understand how tbh. I had very sweet ice cream, (large helping), cheese on toast and a toastie ham sandwich, plus a cookie! So when I'm good, it goes up and when I'm naughty it goes down ???? I give up. Have a nice day all. Bit cloudy here too. :happy:
