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

Morning...boiler & radiator repairs this morning...there's always something to look forward to...woke to a 5.7

Pump cannula failure around 6am, Dexcom alarmed at 8.2, all good after cannula change.

Finger prick 5.8 at 6.30 am. I did set an alarm at 3 am finger prick 5.9. CGM drew a straight line. Obviously hit the jackpot with the long-acting.

Lucky you have the alarm. Does this happen often? It must have been frightening.

6.2 for me this morning after a restless night waking up to my male dog reverse sneezing then I couldn't get back to sleep

Reverse sneezing? Sounds painful.

5.9 this morning. @ert, you sound a lot more upbeat this morning, good result with your meds.

Its not painful, a lot of dogs do it I can't really explain what it is but it sounds a bit like snorting lol

5.9 this morning. @ert, you sound a lot more upbeat this morning, good result with your meds.

Sorry, if my posts aren't always upbeat. I'm just scared, that's all. Positive, but scared.

Oh, I thought you were using a polite term for flatulence.

I woke to 5.6.

It's happened a few times, Dexcom G6 is a lifesaver for me due to no hypo awareness, not frightening just thankful for the high or low warning.

Lol. No its actually a thing dogs suffer from, though its harmless

 

[Starfish18]

6.1 for me this morning

Morning...fresh & green here thanks to the rain which I enjoyed watching through the garden doors...to be fair I was sitting inside sipping a good cup of coffee...woke to a 6.1.

6.0 today was up and ready before I tested though so I'm not sure if that counts. I know my FBG levels are not too bad but I have tried really hard to make them better and to be honest I am a bit fed up. FBGs used to be more likely just above mid 5s currently they are more typically low 6s. Last week, within an hour or so of getting up my bloods showed as 7.1. In all the time I have been testing, around 3 months now) I have never seen my bloods reach the 7s before I have eaten. Don't know if it is the summer weather, or stress (I've got an HbA1c test tomorrow), or just the peculiarities of diabetes as in when you think you are "taming the dragon" you find it has a sting in its tail. Ok enough grumping, tomorrow is another day.
