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

This morning I woke up 7.0mmol (over night fasting for blood tests today) When I arrived at blood test clinic my glucose keep on rising up to 9.2 mmol at 8am.

I was pretty thirsty overnight and this morning, drinking water bottle at night and this morning... plus extra cup of water at the clinic.

Now can wait for blood test results esp got characteristics of LADA.

Morning All today 7.3 yesterday 8.1. This heat has finally caught up with my tummy which has flipped as it does in extreme heat. So today lots of fluids, odd bit LC toast, few berries and yogurt so light eating. My 5 week old grandaughter is coping reasonably well though my 18 month old grandson not so well esp at nights.
Take care everyone.

Only way I can get the fives is testing before 5 o'clock. Got a 5.7 at 0415 but rose to 6.6 at normal get up time. Not a practical solution for me so have to keep working on the carbs.

- sorry to hear that.

For me the glucose rise happens as soon as I get up rather than the classic “ dawn”.

Even quite small energy demands do the same thing for me, ( use the loo at night : bing , up . Do a bit of DIY , bing - up , heaven forbid I do a bit of serious exercise….. )
 
Happy Canada Day! A gym member brought his trumpet to the gym and serenaded us with O Canada, made me smile.
It’s a hot one, the sun is shining and it’s gorgeous outside! Supposed to get into the high 30s today. It’s noon now and 29.
6.0 this morning. I can do better.
