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

[mojo37]

8.0 at 8.10am before breakfast. Last test was 4.9 at 8pm ........seems my BGs rise during the night

This seems to happen to many of us the so called dawn phenomenon and very annoying it is too !

7.5 this morning - heavy carb day yesterday to fuel an hour's running around an MOD training area and standing outside for 6 hours whilst teammates did the same.

Really annoying as I am managing to stay between 4 and 6.5 the rest of the time! I woke at 1am last night and tested and my BG was 6.1 so I don't think it is a rebound effect of going too low during the night. My grand plan is to increase my basal gradually and see what this does. Last night I took 22 units instead of my usual 20 and this morning my fasting was 7.5 which is better .....

From all that I have learnt ( mainly from this forum) fbg is the hardest to bring down and if your levels are good during the day , which yours appear to be , then that is more important so don’t be too disheartened .

Woohoo a 5.5 this am big smiles
