Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

Should I be doing this every morning? I’m relatively new to all this. Yesterday I was 5.4 with no medication :)

Completely your choice. Obviously the regulars on here like to do so. Depends how closely you want to monitor your health. Some people who are regularly in the 5s first thing in the morning might just use the 3/6 month HbA1c check to monitor progress. That said, I do it because I've had lots of medication changes over the years.
 
6.3 (114 mg/dl)
Barometer is taking a dive, which means that my 24 hr early warning system kicked in yesterday and my right sacroiliac joint seized up - thank you ankylosing! Perhaps that would explain why my recent readings have been a little higher than i'm aiming for?

Message from the mod team

There are few posts in the last couple of days that have dipped over into chat, we’ve left them in place but going forward in this thread please only post your FBG number with time of day if you wish.

If you want to add more of an explanation or ask a question or add some general chat please use either the some chat thread here, which is for posting your FBG alongside things concerning FBG only https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/what-was-your-fasting-blood-glucose-with-some-chat.22272/page-4269

Or the full chat thread here https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/what-was-your-fasting-blood-glucose-full-on-chat.163627/ where as long as you record your FBG in one of your daily posts you can chat about anything & everything (within forum rules of course. :))

After this CTO mods will no longer move posts to the any other threads & will delete posts that contain anything more than FBG & time and a VERY short explanation why where necessary.

Thank you for your co operation

The mod team
