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

Morning all another 5.2 this cold morning. Have a diabetic appointment next week, will be interesting what she has to say, as my insulin needs have drastically reduced, no doubt she will say I’m still in the honeymoon period over 18 months later after being diagnosed type 1. It’s not normal for a type 1 to need less than 1 unit of background insulin for a 24 hr period but this is now a regular occurrence
 
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.

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!

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.

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