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

6.5 today
Warm weather, nine degrees yesterday and seven today, blue skies too. Of course that makes it an icy mess out back on the trails as we did have a pile of snow. Time to put my spikes on.
Follow up to the high blood glucose guy from the gym. Talked to his wife today, she said everything is going great and they’ve had some great advice from the nutritionist….oh dear…I seriously had to bite my tongue! A cup of pasta is good…just don’t have more than that…I’m so annoyed. He still doesn’t have a definite diagnosis and will find out next week. He is on insulin. I totally suspect type one.
Why on earth can’t the dieticians get updated information! Apparently all she talked about was portion control. It really makes me angry….just take more insulin for those carbs…
 
libre 5.1

Suppossed to have spinal pain relief injection later on today. Waiting patiently on review of ferries as they currently off! Have packed an overnight bag. Ferry been off majority of yesterday so no idea if will get off the isle or indeed if i do be able to get back home weathers to be same as yesterday.

Not allowed to drive 24 hours after, not allowed to use public transport (which ignoring) seriously sod paying taxi 90 mile trip. peeved patient transport didn't call back had tried to arrange that. I do know patient transport didn't take anyone to mainland yesterday due to the adverse weather.

amber wind warning. yellow for rain.

Going to give hospital a call when they open to let know might not be able to make it. Hoping if can't manage doesnt mean another seveal month wait. If is possible to go still will fed up <4 hours sleep a day. usually after proceedure manage to sleep a lot better for a few weeks :) no idea what the hecks going to happen with sugar levels due to steroids except raised hopefully by not too much. last time around was injecting insulin, this time around honeymoon period so unsure correctional dose or not or if should remove a cartridge from the fridge stings like heck when still cold. Hopefully find a relatively cheap hotel if its needed.

even though dislike needles the spinal injection doesn't have as much of effect as blood draws etc getting done actually not too bad with those.
