5.7 at 7:45am this morning. Had to get my blood drawn at 8:20 for my quarterly checkup with the DSN.
Appointment for the results and checkup is next week, I'm bracing myself for a comment on my fasting value - again. My DSN doesn't seem to understand that even though I wake up at 5.7, the bike ride (while fasting with insulin on board) still raises me, so by the time I get my blood drawn I have 20 minutes of elevated bs from exercise (usually between 7-8 -- I was up to 7.9 when I got home, so after 30-40 minutes of biking). It doesn't mean I'm not managing it well enough, it's just DP. I come back down once I have food and a proper injection in my system. I think I'll whip out my meter and show her this time!
