Mine rise till I eat !

Mine as well.

Most of us test as soon as we get out of bed; not because it's the 'correct' fasting level, but because it eliminates those variables not under our control and provides a useful benchmark for day to day comparison. BG readings change once we start to move around, taking a shower, feeding pets etc. and that needs to be taken into account if always testing later.

Why make your records more complicated? Testing as soon you get out of bed means conditions pre-test are as close to identical as possible.

……and washing hands before of course

Morning all. 7.6 this morning after a very tiring but enjoyable weekend. Forgot to take my monitor so have only todays reading. Have a good week folks. @MissMuffett, I also Googled Metformin and have stopped taking it. They are going to test me for Vitamin B12 deficiency (when they get round to it!).

If I stop taking it my BG steadily goes up! Ive been taking a B vitamin supplement so hoping that’s made a difference. If not I’ll have a chat with my GP

Good morning ️ from California!

5.11 mmol/L 92 mg/dL. Happy Monday morning.
My FBG fluctuates a little, but is always under 5.5 mmol/L 100 mg/dL. Have a nice day everyone.

Morning all. Bedtime 7.1 (improvement) and this morning 7.3. @MissMuffett, mine did too. I'm trying to keep under 20/30g of carbs a day to keep it down. My problem is, I can't exercise so don't have that help. Will keep trying tho. Have a good day folks

 

[MissMuffett]

I can’t exercise either @RosemaryJackson but hoping once I have the operation on my back I’ll be tickety boo!

6.8 at 7:30 ate a slice of sponge cake yesterday! Why oh why and I didn’t even enjoy it

Morning!
5.8 on this manky day. Off for covid jab - have to go 10 miles to next town as our health centre is not participating this year. I had no problem with the flu jab so here's hoping...
Have a great day

I found out my local chemist are doing walk in session for flu and covid jabs. It saved me going 15 miles to the suggested centre!
