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

[LivingLightly]

5.7 last night 5.6 this morning. A question my levels start to drop once I wake up, none of this dawn phenomena. This morning was as above 5.6 30 mins later now at 4.7 anyone else get this.

I can't say I've ever experienced a fall after logging my FBG, but I'm type 2 and not on insulin.

Morning all,

4.6 mmols/l on waking at 6.00.

Take care everyone and stay safe,
LivingLightly

5.8 today and the kitchen sink is still blocked.
Previously tried Rhino and good old soda crystals - decision: which noxious chemical to choose next?

Have a good day

FBG 6.7 at 7am this morning. It was 8.5 just gone midnight, I’d just finished baking.

Off on a long weekend to an island cut off by tide with 8 children & 10 adults, it’ll be a kind of cross between Enid Blyton and Bear Grylls. Debating on whether to test whilst away - food choices determined by others is always tricky.

8.4 at 6:45! What the heck

6.9 this morning didn't sleep very well and really hungry so ended up getting back up and having a bread based snack .

If that happens to me I have chunks of cheese or cooked ham or chicken (if I have any in the fridge) as this fills me up but doesn’t spike my blood glucose, plus it doesn’t cause a carb crash a few hours later. Might be worth a try?

7.3 this morning and high yesterday too.
My current nasty cold has turned out to be (after slightly frivolously using my last remaining test kit) the first definite time I’ve caught COVID-19.

Plays havoc with your blood sugar so it does apparently :-/.

@WaveyDavey123 I hope you feel better soon.

 

[Telboy62]

I'll do that, thank you. I have always had pretty high readings as my management hasnt been what it should, but having changed my ways recently, i've been getting down to 6 - 8 first thing. Will report back tomorrow.

7.8 straight outta bed. Pretty much what I get after showering etc.

Happy Friday …

FBG Fingerprick 6.4 Libre 5.6 - new Libre yesterday and if i was to believe it I would have been hypo almost the whole night - hope it sorts itself out soon.

Have a good day all.
