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

5.1 this morning. Have been unwell with a heavy cold for a few days and have noticed unexpectedly high readings. Sunday 7.1, yesterday 6.9. I didn't eat anything yesterday and Sunday I had yoghurt with berries and a peach for breakfast and baked cod with salad for dinner. Dinner tonight will be airfried chicken breasts with some green veg.
 
Morning All 8.0 yesterday and today can only be down to stress of stomach upset because not much food involved. @Ashybang welcome to the forum wondering if you are eating LC though if you are just starting out FBG can be very high. I hope your Dr is helpful and encouraging but do take a look at the Low Carb testimonials on this forum. Stay safe everyone.

Thanks for advice. Trying to go low carb, but can't resist Bacon and egg sandwich occasionally. Blood Sugar never went below 11.5 yesterday and hovered around 15 mostly. I'm looking at low carb recipes and lots of threads on here for advice and info. I'll see what GP Prescribes later and yes I will post up what GP recommends as current meds appear to be ineffective.
 
Morning!
Well 12 days of being in the 5 hive has come to an end with a 6.0 today. I'm blaming the covid vaccine I had yesterday
I decided to do a porridge experiment 30g jumbo oats 200ml milk pinch salt mixed seeds and blueberries...will report back!
Best wishes @DEBBIESCOTT and good luck @Ashybang
Have a good day

FBG 6.3 this morning on the finger prick, Libre was 7.3. Had to take the feline for a biopsy this morning so had a disturbed night, he was on nil by mouth and very vocal about missing his midnight snack and early riser's breakfast.

Have as good a day as you can, peoples.
 
Hi, I am going to start posting in here as I like the extra chat option.

5.3 on my second test (half an hour later) as the first was 4.3!!

Something weird keeps happening with my morning readings. I usually wake up, pee, wash hands and take my readings and up until now they have been in the 5s and 6s. But a few times in the last week, my readings have been in the 4s, but if I wait and retest, they are back in the 5s and 6s. It seems my dawn phenomenon is taking its time to get going all of a sudden. Is that normal, have I turned into a sloth?

Hooray for chat! When I was going round this fair ride 6 years ago I got invited to leave the very low chat reporting thread...can't think why...;):happy:. I like sloths, they seem to have a good idea at life.
