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

[PenguinMum]

Morning All today 7.6 so still a lot of improvement required. @RosemaryJackson NEVER be ashamed to share high FBG here because we are all here because we care. It will get better also for @mojo37 and @NeeNee87. @Ashybang @Estragon and @RoughcutAU always inspire me. @DEBBIESCOTT hope you soon turn the corner with that nasty virus. Some really nasty and persistent viruses out there atm. My 32 yo son’s healthy and fit colleague of same age ended up in hospital with pneumonia which shocked my son’s GP into prescribing him antibiotics when he was ill.
Sorry mods that more than “some chat” but was well intended.

Morning all - an fbg of 7.1 today.

 

[RosemaryJackson]

Morning all. 9.9 this morning down from 15.2 at bedtime. I can only think that this is all because of my back problem. I'm in constant pain and mostly it's accompanied by a headache. Haven't started the year off very wel so hopefully it can only get better! Fingers crossed.

Doing good!

Morning from California.
4.33 mmol/L 78 mg/d on Tuesday morning. Walking in the cold weather lowered my fbg. Have a nice day everyone!

6.3. Amazed I'm in 6s with the chocolates I've been eating... Big hugs to the poorly ones, actually everyone. Stay safe my wonderful prickly friends.

10 .9 this morning .

Morning all, this chilly Tuesday. FBG 5.9 for me first thing, before I jumped out of bed. Mr Libre makes it easy to see that it’s not really Dawn Phenomenon that sends it soaring, but the leap into action. Although today was more of a crawl.

Would this be the same that's presently showing in your User Details?

She took me off linagliptin on 1st nov and since then my post meal readings are staying high for longer.Shes taken blood and if Hba1c has risen( from 45) she will re-issue them.She did say that because I am only on metformin I shouldn't be testing!

Changed my user details.sorry for confusion.x

 

[Estragon]

Yeah, I've heard that before now. I'd have asked, "Why?".

 

[flonvic]

Yeah, I've heard that before now. I'd have asked, "Why?".

Absolutely agree about the leap into action causing the leap in readings too!

Mine was 6.8 this morning at 6:40 am.

Blimey I'm jealous of all of you, my morning check is normally around 14 to 18 mmol. I've started Insulin about three weeks ago 12 units, and it's made no difference whatsoever, has anyone else had this issue.

 

[Estragon]

Hiyah @Disconnected, welcome to the Gang! Is your condition Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes? I started off five years ago with a morning 18 and now I’m hovering around 6 and 7, so, don’t loose heart . Do keep posting here.

 

[Disconnected]

Hi Estragen, I have type 2 which has plagued me for around 7 years now, my readings are always high, I do a lot of day to day activities, and loosely follow the low carb program, they've tried me on Trulicity, Victoza sorry about the spelling, Trulicity being my worst nightmare, so glad I took myself off it. I'm now on Metformin twice a day, Glicazide, and 12 units of Insulin, I'm at a loss as nothing seem's to bring down my blood sugar.

 

[Ryhia]

FBG 5.1 this morning.

 

[Estragon]

I’m no where near your complex T2, nor your length of dealing with it. Where do you stand with your HBA1C?

Just had my HBA1C done as predicted it was high at 38. I thought fasting blood levels was the first one in the morning. The thing I hate is my heavy legs, I struggle to walk, once warmed up I can move more freely, I'm putting this down to my weight or does anyone think it's the medication, I've tried having a break from the medication and my legs do clear.
