5.7 on finger prick this morning, wished I still had the Libre as it would have been in the fours. However despite good reading I have no idea why so low and at other times so high. Did 100g carbs yesterday so in no way expected a good result, much like others totally baffled by the inconsistencies and variation.
What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

Stressful day so far, probably not helping.

5.8 this morning. Having internet issues today. I don't like using my phone as the screen is just too small for me however I think my router has turned its feet up. I'm using my phone as a hotspot at present. I think it maybe time to bite the bullet and go with a new service provider.. Which one to choose is the question. - I'm really useless at making decisions.

5.9 this morning, another good result for me but not sure why. Haven't changed much re. diet during past weeks so not sure what is lowering BG readings. Wished I did,
Enjoy the long B/H weekend.

Still grey here , with a touch of maybe wear another layer in the air
Today’s reading is five point nine
Yesterday I swapped my normal meat meals for fish and eggs . They tell me it’s healthy and now and again I really don’t mind . I mixed up a home made mayo/ tartare sauce using advacado oil , chopped gerkin and capers.
Back to meat ( lamb) today

4.94 at 6 am this morning, again early riser. Last week was nice and warm weather. This week is cooler, still not bad. Yesterday I received my kidney test results. My egfr number is 63, which is in the normal range. Have a nice day everyone!

Mine too, but I may accidentally have convinced it to rein in its generosity a little \○/
7.6 today, I didn't believe it so tested the other hand, again 7.6!
Yesterday was very stressful and I inadvertently extended my overnight fast by an extra 6 hours, during which time BS fell from 10.1 to 6.6
This is about what I usually see at that time of day, but always after eating and taking meds. Now I know that my body can bring down BS by itself, which is hopeful. What I wasn't expecting was today's low figure - yesterday's stress and resultant high carb dinner sandwich (just needed to grab something, anything, to take meds) should have pushed it well above 10? Unless the extended fast has reset something internally? More experiments needed!
Haven’t posted here for a few days but still testing away!!!
Disappointing week ranging from 7 in the morning … even got an 8.3 today
Haven’t changed what I’m eating and still walking but am stressed and not always sleeping well
I will just carry on and hopefully see the figures going in the right direction soon

Libre 5.6
Got fed up with lows eating loads of sweets and tummy bruising called DSN. Yesterday 2 jags only. Today will be one basal jag to see what happens with sugar levels if 14+ to do 1 unit fiasp if remains high check keytones after few hours and treat as per previous guidance for keytones. 100 percent honeymoon period apparently. She informed me Pancreas must of been stunned when had DKA in January with insulin injections giving it a rest not needing to work so hard now it's functioning just not well enough maybe weeks or months Insulin requirements will go up overtime until it can't produce any. First night in ages wasn't woken up by alarm going off.
Not sure if I should try push for c-peptide test or not and ask if type2. Libre very handy just would be expensive still struggle with fingepricks
