Dislikes
Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
Fasting BG test is usually the first thing you do on waking.

I do intermittent fasting when I have a 6 to 8 hour space for eating and 16 to 18 hours of fasting. It’s a constantly evolving and constantly learning thing.

FBG (fasting blood glucose) is the first reading on the morning after your overnight "fast" i.e. sleep.
If you then fast for the rest of the day then I guess technically they'd all be fasting blood glucose but not what is described here as such.

I think the important thing about FBG is that it should capture dawn phenomenon, or higher than usual blood sugars just before waking.
