Thanks goodness, that was the one thing she nearly had me running for the hills scared! Quick question, if my bg is 3.9 just as I'm going to bed is that ok?

Is it that low when you go to bed, and if it is, what is it immediately you get out of bed in the morning?

It's been that the last couple of nights and yesterday morning it was 5.9 and this morning was 5.8

your doing exactly the same as me apart from the fasting test i do it within 30 minutes of getting up
i found the longer you leave it the lower it is i did one morning and got a 6.6 did it again about 1 hour later and got
a 5.9 so earlier is better after all fasting is when you go to bed then when you rise" well it is to me anyway"

This depeends on if you have dawn phenomenon or not, mine is lowest at rising - now usually around 6, but rises to around 8 everyday regardless of food before coming back down around 2 pm

Then you probably have nothing to worry about (unless you felt ill in some way) because your liver brought you back up to where it wanted you to be. There are plenty of people who see levels in the 3s. I wish I were one of them!

great! I've not seen a high reading since meter arrived, but been on the low carb so I assume it's because of that and as I've actually lost weight I'm sticking with it!
