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

6.3 today.
Gym was extra heavy upper body weights, no cardio. It was time for a challenge. I then did a little shopping while it snowed/rained….it’s nice, the tress are covered but the roads are bare. Tried on a pile of winter coats…need one for extreme cold. I found a few but want to check one more place.

@grantg, yes we do have little pins and awards for lots of blood donations here in Canada. I think the first pin is after 25 donations.
 
libre 4.7 breakfast currrently raining so some housework & trip to mainland after school run make a start on some xmas shopping if isnt too busy 4 more weeks, so disorganised this year usually have loads of clothes from sales over the year and most other bits n bobs bought by now. primark is on my list of shops alongside tkmaxx needing some more sugar free hazlenut syrup for my morning coffee 0g carbs/surgars! yum :) will see what other shops are left at the mall, over half have closed down in recent years which is a shame, much prefer to shop in person. Whilst across water hopefully manage a wee swim too.

8.4 sadly this morning. Fitted a libre yesterday and went for a monster 10 mile walk in afternoon. Once libre had settled just saw the BS going up and up with no food intake up to 9.5 then staying there. Really odd.Thankfully dropped overnight to 4.9 but on the up again after 0400. Still putting my readings in as finger pricks to maintain continuity.

Perhaps it was the big hike you did and no food that resulted in the 8.4. I cannot fast and cannot not eat after workouts, I would keel over lol
 
6.3 again today.
There’s a chill in the air. Sadly our country has adopted the insane black Friday ritual….its a crazy mess out there today! I ended up ordering a coat online. I did however take advantage of a gift card offer…buy 100 get 10. So I gave them 300 and got 330 back….and I can use the cards at my grocery store. Can’t pass on free money.
