Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

[walnut_face]

6.7 going up! Also had 85% choc last night, perhaps I should move to 99%

You are one of the forum memers I admire the most @ally1 I've seen your numbers tumble since I joined in January - well done

Thank you, you have made my day. It's been a hard slog to get my numbers down. Now its so much colder, I do find my numbers are a bit higher

Hello @Pampprof
In my signature you will see the link for the Basic Information and a link to the Low Carb Program. I hope you will find these useful.

Morning All

Got a 6.5 this morning, but I did have to dive out dive out of bed and take delivery of a bed we expected yesterday before testing. Always find that sort of thing elevates it somewhat.

At least, thats my excuse and I am sticking to it!

Can you think of a reason for this?

13.1 this morning and has come down from 16.0 ...

 

[asparagusp]

Having switched Lantus to the morning and the subsequent reading of 8.5 yesterday, 6.0 and no hypo during the night! Delighted!

I was a little worried that the awful smell of paint in my bedroom would have affected the reading for the worse!

5.5 for me this morning after a seafood buffet at a hotel with friends last night. I think they may have squeezed some carbs into some of the dishes

5.5 is fine! Don't be greedy!

Hi I woke up at 5.30am having a hot sweat, a few days ago my GP had stopped some tablets - so I put it down to withdrawal symptoms. I ate nothing from 7pm last night and before bed at 1.15pm blood sugar was 10.2. Had my 22 units of Insulin and 1000mg Metformin at 6pm.
I am not going to worry about it - must be a 'blip' ? Thanks

As requested in another thread....
My fasting level today 8.3. ****. Over to other T2s now....

Hi, I'm new to the site, but have also had the same question. Morning reading after fasting always higher. This has been partly explained by the article on the following link. Hope it helps. http://www.diabetesforecast.org/2008/sep/rocky-morning-highs.html
