Fasting blood sugar

[dani96xx]

What was everyone's fasting bloods today?

 

[Antje77]

It was around 8 when I first woke up, so I took a small correction and went back to sleep.
Second time I woke up I was at 5.8, took some insulin to counter the feet on the floor effect and got up.
It rose again (still fasting) to the mid 7's and has slowly dropped to below 5 and risen again to 6, but I did have coffee in the mean time so not truly fasting anymore.
Those are all fasting blood sugars, so not sure which to choose

I was at 11.5, but then I have massively variable DP so although I definitely have calmed it down now I have a pump it can still sometimes go up to about 13/14 by the time I wake up (not very often now though)

Looks like you've had good numbers well done!

Glad to hear your bloods are slowly coming down in the morning

Another with frequent if erratic DP. So today 4.7 at 7.30 am (usually my DP kicks in a couple hours earlier), then gradually rising to 8.3 by 10.30 - no food but a couple of black coffees. Waking levels for me vary massively depending on how late/what I've eaten the evening before even with careful bolusing, plus the previous day's exercise regime.

I know but I'm generally so well controlled, good control caused 2 eye complications already so I hate straying xx

How are you all getting such low numbers, if I’m anywhere below 4.6 I start getting hypo symptoms and there’s almost no way of me choosing where my BG will go after a meal, it will stay between 5 and 8 though
Do you guys inject half doses or what?
If I’m on 8 I’m happy
