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

[Pipp]

Fasting blood sugars are nearly always the last to come down

Yes indeedy. And for me, always the first to start to be elevated if I am not well.

Take heart, @surdoux , you will get there if you persevere.

Welcome to the forum. You don't give any information as to your diagnoses whether you are type 1 or 2, whether you have been recently diagnosed? What meds (if any)? What food advice if any you have been given., etc.

Dawn phenomenon can have an impact on blood sugars of a morning so this can raise your levels. May be worthwhile creating your own thread to ask some questions, you will get lots of support and advice from the members of this forum.

Keep posting.

Cheers C.

Oh yikes, @karen8967 , mine was 8.6. Not that I am trying to ‘Top Trump’ or anything.
All I can think is that I had a lousy nights sleep, and didn’t get up until late. It dropped to 7.5 after late breakfast, but still not happy about it.
Glad yours has settled again Karen.
