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

[LivingLightly]

5.1 mmol/L on waking up. Just got my H1A1c results and got it down to 38 mmol/mol. I'm shocked, it made my day. And no, I wasn't going into hypos often. Low carb diet works wonderfully!

Morning @Mac Dabrowski and welcome to this FBG thread for diabetes of all types. We're pleased you could join us again.

Congratulations on a splendid HbA1c result. Well done you!

6.2 this morning, thunder woke me up early hours. Sounded like a juggernaut thundering down the road!

Morning all my sugars this morning were 9.5 at 0740 using the Libre sensor

 

[Ladynijo]

This morning FBG 6.4 on both Libre and finger prick. For once they agree. Not working today so just been for a swim to keep things moving. Enjoy your day, peoples.

Mine was 5.9 this morning . I am on Steroids hence have very high readings after dinner (24.4) in early evening.on a high dose of Gliclazide which brings the BS down by morning. Anyone else with similar problems?

Morning @Sharara

May I suggest you post your question again in the Diabetes Management forum where you'll find a subforum: Other Health Conditions and Diabetes? You may receive a better response that way.

Other Health Conditions and Diabetes

Discuss other medical conditions such as coeliac disease, IBS and thyroid problems and how they relate to diabetes.

Hi all, my fasting bg levels this morning were 5.3 I try to keep them below 5.5. Accept once a week I have a pizza which can have a result of a reading between 5.8 & 6.8 the following morning.

Well done on the A1c result and keeping such a tight control of your T1 management. Hope your diabetic team are impressed with your results as we are.

Nice Hba1c for a type 1. I’m also a type 1 and my last Hba1c was 39 like you no hypo’s but I’m not really low carb, I’ve just really nailed my ratios and my trick is i basically weigh everything when possible

Morning all
My first post, first morning prick. I was feeling good about my reading until I saw the numbers above : 13.9 was my reading this morning.
I am hoping my lifestyle changes and meds will result in a positive downward trajectory for my bsl.
Happy Friday

 

[Estragon]

A big fat hateful 8.

[MissMuffett]

6.0 at 7:40! In the 6s all week.

off to the hospital for eyes check. I was diagnosed with macular degeneration a year ago. If I had a choice I’d rather go deaf. I don’t want to go blind, the thought is making me very tearful

Have a fab Friday everyone and hugs for those that would like one x

 

[RosemaryJackson]

At 7.30 wake up, FBG was 4.7 on Libre. Never seen that low on a finger prick test, ever. Twenty minutes and a fed feline later, it’s ramped up to 6.7. Didn’t bother doing a finger prick.

I am beginning to question how useful these morning FBG tests really are. From what I can see happening on Libre, I could take a FBG reading at any time on that time band from the moment my eyes opened to breakfast, and it would read anywhere between those numbers. So it really isn’t worth getting hung up on being below a particular number, or stuck in the sixes or sevens, if all that’s really happening is testing a bit later than normal. And it’s definitely foot on floor rather than dawn phenomenon, I’m merrily bouncing along at well below 6 all night, with the rise coming only when I wake up.

@MissMuffett hugs - eyes are so precious, that would worry me too. Hope it goes ok today.
