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

5.5 on Dexcom. Then my Dexcom threw a fit, blitzed out and stopped working. I was on the 12 hour grace period so that’s ok.
Upper body and bike ride today, some last minute shopping. Cloudy today but nice, heading up to clean up the garden.
 
Morning All 8.0. My hol was a disaster as I was very unwell the whole time (suspect Covid) stayed in and slept during the day, ventured out to dinner but no appetite or taste so pushed food around the plate. Glad to be back in my own bed.
Hope you are all well.

Sorry to read this penguin mum
 
5.7 today. Cloudy, sunny, windy….its that kind of day, about 20 degrees. Pretty nice really. I have entered the “energizer bunny” phase of holiday prep, I truly am a great multitasker! Suitcase is packed, fridge is near empty of anything that might spoil, plants are watered, neighbours have been informed, grass is cut, sprinkler lines have been cleared….big house clean and laundry tomorrow. I think I’m ready. Hubby even put my winter tires on…slightly early but you never know.
Will put a Dexcom on tomorrow and bring an extra as they only last ten days. I’m going to do my best food wise but it will be a challenge for sure.

Sounds like fun !
 
5.7. It was higher on holiday but I was 'relaxed' about diet going across Canada and cruising around Alaska. Even then it sort of maxxed at 6.7. I've had a self purchased Libre 2 for 26 days ( 2nd Libre 2 of course) and estimated A1C now 34mmol. It's already down from 50 to 39.
