5.9 fasting this sunny morning

6.4 before supper last night and 6.6 after, and 6.4 after this morning's breakfast

Averages last week:
Overall: 6.6
Fasting: 6.4
Before meals; 6.5
After meals: 6.8

Which is finally close again to what I started off with last year... The glucose gremlin's obviously in a good mood ! :D

6.3 again. The hour has thrown me all out of kilter and also had way too much protein yesterday.

... when I see all the 4's and 5's in this thread, I get a bit jealous. Maybe tomorrow............

Don't ever get jealous - we've all got unique bodies and diabetic conditions so can't replicate what happening to others....:wideyed:

My meter allows me to set target ranges for various types of readings and I use these as my goals, not the results I see on here every day...

Sugar free digestives sound good. Where do you get them

Snap! I was 6.3 this morning after a bedtime reading of 5.5.

I've only ever had one fasting in the 5's (about 2 weeks ago) but I'm beginning to think that was a rogue reading. I'm much happier with my bedtime readings. I should be getting my second HbA1c test sometime in April (not been advised of an appointment yet) and I know it will be lower than the first one in the middle of January so I shouldn't complain but, when I see all the 4's and 5's in this thread, I get a bit jealous. Maybe tomorrow............

Yes, @WeeFergus just hang in there, and it will surely begin. From what I've read here, the overnight fasting are generally later than others to get into the desired range. My BGLs are only just beginning to meet targets now.
Good luck with your HbA1c - mine is also in April.

6.1 at bedtime and 5.3 this morning.

And please, could someone explain 'saga louts' to a Canadian?
