4.7 fasting this morning, seems a bit low? Went to bed with a 4.3 last night, not sure if that is ok or not? Any views welcome.

Everyone is different @Magsx1 I would be fine with that number but then my blood sugar doesn't seem to drop much during the night, my fasting BG level is often the highest of the day. How do you feel at these numbers?

Hi Folks

Fasting level was 5.5 at 08.15 this morning.

Late posting as early start (for me...) at work, and a lack of internet connectivity.

Hi,
Thank you for answering my post, I sometimes feel slightly headachey,
I have night sweats, doctor says its menopause, which I've had for years anyway, but looking on website for diabetes you can have sweats through low blood sugar, so I'm interested in what to do, I'm on LCHF diet, having lost almost two stone, but I'm not eating any potatoes,rice,bread,pasta at all, I'm living mainly on protein and salad,just wondered if I'm doing things ok.

@Magsx1 if you want to go onto ask a question forum about your diet we can answer you there, this thread is just for fasting blood glucose readings. Just start a new thread asking anything and we will answer
