Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

5.6 for me. Had breakfast but forgot to eat lunch, now 4.9 at 7.00pm. These numbers are a mystery to me.

Nope exactly what I'd expect. Most of us are higher in the mornings than the afternoons and evenings. Something to do with insulin resistance being worse in the mornings I think. Why? No idea. My lowest ever readings happen when I do the same as you. If I forget lunch then there is nothing to stop the gradual fall of levels from late morning onwards so you can end up quite low in the early evening.

Today was my lowest ever 5.6 from diagnosis Jan 12
Woo Woo!!!!!

Well done :clap: always nice to break a record!

5.4 today, I wonder what the new meter will show in the morning as it is running lower levels.

7.6 - If I wasn't already at work i'd get back in bed and hide for the rest of the day. :thumbdown:

7.3

Just on Levemir/NovoRapid from yesterday, so needs a bit of adjusting.

Which I intend to do, too.

Well done Iggy-Lil!

I was 5.7 - would really like to know why?? Sometimes there is no accounting for it - except that I got about 9.5 hours sleep last night, which is maybe too much :shock:

5.8 this morning.... felt horrible and tested at 5.2 half an hour before my usual wakling time. dam hypo again. It's a sure sign when you're BGLs keep going up that your liver has dumped too. I'm tempted to drop my basal again, but it's not happening every single night.

6.9

I have a question: I have lost nearly 2 stones now and am keeping my carbs down to less than 80g a day. My daytime readings are dropping consistently, but my fasting level is remaining between 7 and 7.5 nearly all the time. Am I doing something wrong?
