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

[Mike d]

Well done people

Hello mates,
At a couple of the other forums I've frequented there was a thread like this one where we all sorta checked in each day, with our first cup of coffee or tea, and reported our fasting or waking blood glucose level and some short comment about whether we're ok with it or if not - why not?...

It worked well as a sort of 'first thread to check' each morning and post to.

I'll start.

This morning was a 5.6mmol for me. That's about normal for me

What about you?

 

[Sally49]

Mine was 9.0. It's quite often 9.0, but then I'm all over the place. Nearly 7 years of this and still no real control. I find stress makes things jump about. I sleep badly and often have nightmares and in the mornings I'm at 9 or 10 or 8.5. Any tips to improve the situation? I'd be very grateful, if only to get my DNS off my back
Sally

and I sometimes test when I get to work at 9.00am rather than at 6.30 when I get up. Is that the wrong thing to do?

Yes ideally test before feet on the floor.
