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

I had the symptoms of diabetes or hypoglycaemia but at the hospital said blood sugar was normal.
Diabetes Test came back ok.

But I did a 12 hour fast and did a bought test and it said 300-500 as I found it hard to match the colours.
 
Had a rest from testing, hence my absence from thread for a few days. No fasting number = no posting. ;)
This morning was very pleased with a 5.4. Perhaps I need to go AWOL more often.:D
 
7.7 - Yesterday morning 8.5. But here's the thing, last night had a Fish and Chips supper which gave me a mighty 12.9 - Yelp!! However 2 hours later down 4 points to 8.6, and now, this morning's 7.7 :) kinda proves something to me. Or does it? Testing this week I will see just how long my Carbo-Binge stays slopping around my bloodstream. And the F'nC? The batter was dry as sandpaper and the chips were like razor blades too!! Not going back.
 
4.2 today. Tryed a piece of keto cake (2 grams of carbs) and some pork scratchings (99% protein) and was all good. They opened a Keto shop in town :). have a nice sunday everyone
 
Well couldn't get to sleep last night - gave up trying around 3:30 or so and went downstairs to watch TV for a while. Tested bloods they were 5.3. Returned to bed around 05:00 got up again around 9:40 and bloods were the same at 5.3. Not too bad all things considered. Hope you all have a nice day.

@ianpspurs, as much as I appreciate your concern, as is fitting of my new green staff livery, I must deter, such posts that have no fasting reading. :stop:
 
6.4 this morning and hoovering between 6 and 6.2 for the rest of the day so far. I’ve got my insulin down to 1 unit in the morning and the last two evenings I’ve dropped off the remaining 1 unit of tea time insulin as I’d go hypo overnight otherwise.
 
8.7 this morning. Not my favourite way to start a monday. My control the last week has been rubbish and i’m working toward a much better week this week. *grumbles into coffee*
