Fasting blood glucose

[Paulm80]

So I was reading that fasting blood glucose should be 5.6 or under to be considered normal. So would a normal non diabetic person sometimes get readings above this in the morning ? Or would it always be below 5.6 no matter what they ate or how they slept etc.....
Thankyou

I'm not sure, i'm going to start testing my wife to find out heh.

Fasting having been up for a while i think should always be below 5.6, but i dont think that applies to "just waking" because your body pumps loads of glucose round to wake you up. I wouldn't be surprised if non diabetic people can have spikes just after waking up?

Yeah I have no idea either, sure someone will know .... but yeah I might start giving my wife a little prick in the mornings and if she wakes up I’ll take her blood glucose
