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

4.9 today. I am after a lifetime goal today so had breakfast for the first time in at least 2 months. Boy did new laid eggs taste good poached on buttered toasted Lidl roll. Lets be careful out there (loved Hill Street Blues at Uni; first school I taught at was basically just like it)!
 
No. Not yet. The practice nurse did an Ac1 which turned out to be 50. That was a couple of weeks ago. I've been dieting to test whether I can manage with diet and so that I have some numbers to show my GP. My appointment is on Friday. My dance with diabetes began 17 years ago with a gestational diabetes diagnosis. I tested through pregnancy and never once had a high reading. Had a prediabetic glucose tolerance 2 years ago. Knowing nothing about diabetes didn't worry too much as it settled or so I thought. This forum has helped me to take it seriously this time. Sorry for the long post.
 
30mins up and it was 7.8mmol/l. Raised to 8.5 after struggling with 4yr old to look at his reading book. And hr of misery. He moans all the way through it on top of me sitting in agony as painkillers not kicked in yet. House too loud on an evening. Small 2bed bungalow. Mr ickihun still in bed and 10yr old playing in their bedroom. No dining room and bad habit of TV straight on in living room. Will try and stop it for reading, instead. Easy said than done. ;)

Fantastic effort. Can you sustain this, longterm? Make it as easy as you can as its a marathon not a sprint. Mine you I sprint to stretch my legs with this diabetes now and again just to reevaluate it. (Not literally as can hardly walk).
