5.1 at 0700 this morning. After 5.6 at bedtime last night.

 

[OrsonKartt]

Out of bed, dressed and seven point eight on libre

I had a medication review on the phone yesterday. It went well. I’m Now being prescribed glucose and ketone strips . I’ve been self funding these for the last 10 years so that’s something. Sadly not the libre which I have to say is brilliant.

I can see that my glucose level rises are primarily to do with activity. As I get out of bed they jump and go to nine or ten then down as I clock off for the day. I’m eating keto style so food appears to have little impact on levels

I don’t know if it’s just a thing for good luck but I have taken to starting the day with vitamins. If you don’t already do it might be worth a try ?

4.9 breakfast then off for a swim

 

[ChrisT2]

6.6 reasonable starting point but like @OrsonKartt and others my numbers rise uncontrollably to around 9 or 10 with or without food until a slow afternoon drop before dinner. Overnight drops to 3 or 4 while I sleep. Just wished I could influence this daily trend and get lower numbers during the day and rely less on metformin.
