What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

Hello mates,
At a couple of the other forums I've frequented there was a thread like this one where we all sorta checked in each day, with our first cup of coffee or tea, and reported our fasting or waking blood glucose level and some short comment about whether we're ok with it or if not - why not?...

It worked well as a sort of 'first thread to check' each morning and post to.

I'll start.

This morning was a 5.6mmol for me. That's about normal for me

What about you?

At 5.6 is that diabetic readings I don't eat after six at night not more than 1200 cal with regular exercise and I am 8.3 this morning and that is good normal over 10 type 2 should I be on insulin ?

the most effective is to count carbs and not eat more than around 100 grams of carbs in total in a day.. count carbs instead of calories

7.3 before bed, 10.2 in morning. I seem to be higher in the mornings oddly

It's probably liver dump...it can kindly dump glucose to get us ready for the day ahead...I so wish it wouldn't bother its a£se.
