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

[Ryhia]

Morning All 8.3 today can’t understand it though nothing to do with food. Kept to c 20g carbs yesterday. So will just carry on carrying on then.
Have a good Monday all.

Not changed any tablets lately?

Hello mates,
At a couple of the other forums I've frequented there was a thread like this one where we all sorta checked in each day, with our first cup of coffee or tea, and reported our fasting or waking blood glucose level and some short comment about whether we're ok with it or if not - why not?...

It worked well as a sort of 'first thread to check' each morning and post to.

I'll start.

This morning was a 5.6mmol for me. That's about normal for me

What about you?

Mine was 8.2, fallen off the wagon!

Morning All so 7.3 better but not ideal. @Ryhia no change in meds but thanks for asking. Another wet wet day hope my newly planted pansies and primroses survive! Have the best Tuesday you can.

Welcome to the thread, Sorry to hear you have fallen off the wagon but if you have had good levels previously, its only a short distance to seeing good levels again. We will be routing for you. .

5.6 this morning.

Morning all. Been having a lot of trouble with my eyes (cellulitis) and my back so haven't been feeling like posting. 7.8 this morning. Have a nice day all.

Good morning everyone!

Morning @Bigbumcooper and welcome to this FBG thread. We're pleased you could join us.

Your profile doesn't tell us the type of diabetes you've developed and whether treated with medication or diet alone. Might be helpful to know, if you would like advice from members.

On the nose with FBG 6.0 this morning. Another morning swim, and a more active day called for, I think. So off to work I go, hi ho, hi ho....!

6.4 . I'll be interested to see if it rises when I check my before breakfast reading. I've never paid attention to that.

edited to add: I waited about 90 minutes before breakfast, it rose to 7.1.... hmmm.

I'll try tomorrow, but have a small bite to see what happens.

Late today
libre 5.5
Contour 5.5
They now think I have pertussis aka whooping cough, steroid inhaler is keeping blood glucose in double figure for most of the day & doesn’t seem to be improving the cough, been to circuits & burn out spin (90 minutes), housework done, time for feet up
Have a lovely weekend if you can & hugs to all in need

Oh Debbie, I hope you feel better soon xxx I did wonder if it was whooping cough, there are so many people with it. Thumbs up for keeping the work outs going, you deserve a medal for your persistence and resilience.

7 this morning, 60 min work out done and tested straight after and 5.9 so yerp happy with that.

Evening @May Mic.

Most of us on this FBG thread (and the parallel thread for type 2s) test as soon as we wake up. BG readings rise once we start to move around. That's normal and to be expected.

Morning prickers and swipers

4.7 mmol on waking at 6.00 this Wednesday morning.
Take care everyone and stay safe.
