4.8 today. Also woke up WAY too early and feel like bleah.

Such is life, at least I have coffee. Well, had, but that's the ideal situation at this point really.
@Widgets, snap, this was exactly my experience today too (except that I only scored a fasting 5.0). Eerie! I consumed 2 cups of real coffee to my usual 1, and now after lunch am about to make myself a cup of decaff, if I can summon up the energy.

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?
4.9 at which point I feel tingling. I think I am better in the 6's.

Morning All. 6.6 Libre said 5.8 but then it had me in 3s for couple of hours o/n so who to believe! @prhayes welcome and great start. @Sarahlouxoxo take care and rest, hope its mild, good score! @SaskiaKC yes its on we go, clapping each other on the way. Have a good Thursday. Remember IT’s still out there, use your own onions.

unfortunately 7.5 this morning, very different to yesterday morning - taken at the same time following similar period of fasting (10 hours) - it was exactly the same as my post prandial check after dinner last night - still geting used to all of this, but early days...
